Second Gift

Dear Masaaki-wan,

Sorry that it took so long to send this. It was a very strenuous process to get a hold of it. I hope you like it; I wanted to make up for all of those lovely gifts you sent me...
I would write more, but I'm very, very tired. It's hard to come up with a lot of flowery words to write. But know that I still love you... love, love, love you. Okay?

[Inside the small, carefully-wrapped box is a strange-looking egg-shaped crystal, the size of one's palm. Clear like a diamond, but with hundreds of little points of colorful light reflecting from its complex insides. It should be disorienting to look at, but it's somehow soothing, calming, mesmerizing. Like it gently sucks away all of one's stress just by staring into it.]
