[A present is left for Alex at his dorm! It's a bracelet with knots between each smooth stone bead, long enough for the beads to be held between two fingers while still worn securely on the wrist. There is a 'pendant' stone, bigger and flatter than the others, that hangs from a connected length, making the shape similar to prayer beads or a rosary. There's also a small, bright-yellow-brass pin in the shape of a sunflower from an artisan in Lyrabar, as well as a small handmade omamori that, if asked, she will explain is meant for warding off evil. It's wrapped elegantly in some kind of beeswax paper with a simple wax stamp. Accompanying it is a note reading,
Alex,
Did you know that the badges loaned to defense attorneys by the Lawyer's Association are meant to resemble sunflowers? They're the flowers of justice and freedom, always turning their heads to face the sun, unrelenting in their pursuit.
Thank you for everything you've done these past months. Whatever we face ahead, I believe in you, and I'm here for you.
