Sitting on her living room floor, Cassie was about to tape the third box she had been wrapping, she leaned over to hold the paper while she reached for the tape. She was about to get it when there was a knock at her door. She groaned and let go of the wrapping paper, "Bro people stay knocking on my door…" Cassie opened her door and found several chocolate boxes stacked on top of each other in front of her door; from what she could see it looked like eight. She took them into her home and shut her door.
"Who are these from?" She looked all over the boxes trying to find a card or any indication of who this was from. She got tired of that quickly and just decided to open it; she opened the first box and found that it was just regular milk chocolate, dark chocolate and white chocolate. Then she went to the second box and noticed that it was a brand she didn't recognize. "This stuff looks really fancy." She decided to look it up and search the name on the box.
When she did, she could nearly gasp at the price of it.
"A hundred and thirty-six dollars! Do they not see how small this box is?" She went to the rest of them and searched the brand names and found that either it was from a foreign place or if it was local it was the most expensive in that area.
With the very last box, she found there was a letter inside of the plastic. She opened it and read the contents of the letter aloud.

"It doesn't matter if you like this or not, but at the very least you get to brag that somebody bought you expensive chocolate, from Akuma." Cassie found herself at a loss, both for the expensiveness of the chocolate as well as the concept that Akuma seemed to just like to spend money for no reason. “I'm eating this for sure, but he has to really calm down with all this." She huffed and shut her door as she resumed wrapping up her presents.
