[On the evening of the 24th, Clara drops a little unwrapped box off at the door to his room. She knocks and runs off, so he'll be able to open it alone. Inside is a small stuffed jaguar.
There's also a note.
I know you don't celebrate Christmas, so think of this as a gift from one clever cat to another. I thought of you when I saw it sitting in the supply drop, and how you're softer on the inside than you want people to believe. I want you to know that no matter what, I consider you to be part of my family that I've found here. So there's no givesie backsies on the stuffed animal.
