[Jun heard about what happened to Luke during the Jumanji game from Lycaon. He knew that someone should check in with the kid, so once he was out of the hospital and got some rest... he'll send him a message.]
Hey Luke, its Jun!
Good news, I'm out of the hospital! They gave me a clean bill of health. o(*￣▽￣*)ブ I heard you were also in one of the games, so I wanted to check on you. Are you okay to hang out?
[A package arrives in the mail for Luke from Harumasa! As well as a beautiful bouquet full of seasonal flowers resting on top. Each flower has been lovingly picked out to symbolize his feelings of love and gratitude for Luke's presence in his life. When he opens up the package, there'll be three perfectly wrapped gifts inside. All of them are the same shape and weight, so it's probably the same gift in three parts.
Unwrapping the first will reveal a scrapbook with a cover that's decorated in theater themed stickers and cat stickers. The cover is also embossed with gold ink in calligraphic numbers: 2017-2019. When he opens the front cover, there will be a note in Harumasa's handwriting on the front page. As the pages are flipped through, they're all photos mostly taken by him. It starts off very amateur and it's clear that when Harumasa's the subject, he's not quite comfortable in front of the camera. His smiles are awkward and don't really reach his eyes, looking more nervous or skittish than how he is now. Some are also very amateur landscapes and photos of the sky. However, as it progresses through his life, Luke can see how Harumasa becomes more comfortable being photographed, how much more easily his smiles come to him and reach his eyes, and how his skill evolves. Every photo is dated and has a location underneath it, and every page is decorated to complement the photos on them.
The other two gifts are the same, but the numbers increase as they go through the years. 2020-2022, and finally 2023-2025. The final two pages of the 2025 book are dedicated to only two photos, one on each page. The one on the left is a Christmas photo of Harumasa with the siblings, their significant others, and Ragna. The one on the right is of the New Eridu crew. It's a candid photo that somehow captures all of them at the height of their joy during the Christmas party. Handwritten neatly at the top are the words: "Good or bad, I hope these memories give you strength."
As for the note at the beginning of the book, it says:]
Merry Christmas, Luke!
I know things have been really hard lately. You're juggling college along with memories, migraines, and whatever craziness this city likes to throw at us every month. However, I wanted to say that I'm really proud of how you've grown up. You're doing really well, all things considered, even though it's probably scary.
I'm sorry I missed out on watching you grow up, but I hope to make up for that as best I can. No matter what happens, no matter what you remember, I'll always be your big brother and I'll support you every step of the way for as long as I can.

With that being said.
Let's make the next year even more memorable!
