On Christmas Eve, a parcel will show up in the mailbox for Celeste. It's beautifully wrapped in deep red paper, trimmed with a green ribbon edged with lace. The tag attached is in Gabriel's neat print:

Mlle. Ludenberg.

-GM.

Inside the box, there are homemade lebkuchen, and a note stating these are suitable for cats (for who could forget Grand Bois). In addition, there is a book, bound in leather. The pages are blank, but the leather is very clearly tattooed skin, delicate lace patterns worked into the flesh. The book is held shut by a lock, the key inside for her to use and keep.
