[ On Christmas morning, Akira will receive a small wooden box with intricate geometric designs carved deep into each side. Inside, an unassuming gift: a bracelet of braided cord that's been dyed deep blood red.
It might take some blushing and stammering to get out, but eventually Haruaki will tell him that he doesn't know if they can take anything from this world back to their own – they may return to Hyakki without any items, without any memories. But if there's any way to keep ahold of something, he knows Akira will be the one to do it. He held onto that mysterious, helpful oniisan for more than a century, after all.
The bracelet is a promise. That when they do return, Akira won't forget what they found here. That even if he has to wait for Haruaki to remember all over again, he will remember, and they'll be able to continue nurturing what they've begun to grow together. ]
