In one hand, Junchi was swinging the hand of his father Henghai wildly as they walked into the park. In the other, Junchi carried his gift to his Secret Santa partner. They had arrived a bit late since Henghai had work to do, but that didn't matter! Fashionably late was a thing, even if Béa said it was bullshit.
Junchi and his partner, a woman called Fehralyn, had discussed where they would meet and described their appearance over the phone earlier. Initially, Junchi had the idea of just shouting her name, but Henghai could see the look on his face and immediately warned him that Fehralyn may not even be here yet. Either way, they shouldn't disturb others at the park by screaming. So Junchi kept his mouth shut while he eagerly waited to see his partner. In the meantime, he made his dad hold his gift while he played in the snow.
This event was very unusual by Fehralyn's standards, and that was exactly why she wanted to try and do it. Giving gifts to a stranger, it sounded suspicious and inconvenient, but Fehr was curious and it seemed her partner was a child. A child who seemed intelligent but that wasn't unusual on Manta Carlos.
