《You Saw Right Through Me》Gifts
Advertisement
While you went to alert the Future Foundation, everyone looked in the bag you had left. "What are these for?" Himiko wondered. Shuichi picked up one of the things in the bag and saw a small tag on it with Miu's name on it. "I think... they're gifts?" He handed the item to Miu.
"What the-" Her eyes widened once she realized what it was. "It's an invention..." She covered her mouth. "... to do your makeup while sleeping." There was a short note on the back of the tag attached to the invention.
Remember that one time when you told me that sleeping takes too much time? Welp, I thought so, too.
Miu smiled and traced her finger over the invention. "I'm using this every night." Shuichi smiled and reached into the bag again. "Oh, this one's mine." He said once he turned the tag on another gift. He gently pulled it out. "Oh my gosh, Shuichi!" Kaede squealed. Shuichi's eyes lit up once he saw the book you had given him. "Work Together"
I thought you'd like this book, since one, you like mystery, and two, you love your friends! So, yeah. I also wrote it, so it's kind of bad
Shuichi opened the book and saw your signature on it. "I'll read this all the time." He held it to his chest. Kokichi reached into the bag and heard a noise. "Kirumi, this one's yours." Kokichi said, handing a box to Kirumi. It had little things painted on so it looked less like a random box. "Ooh! Y/N asked me if they could borrow paint! That's what it was for!" Angie exclaimed. Kirumi opened the box and it began to play.
She turned over the tag with her name on it.
You always work so hard, so you need to relax sometimes!
Kokichi reached into the bag again. "Kaito" He walked up and took the gift. He made a small gasp once the gift touched his fingers. The moment the gift touched his fingers, something inside the small dome lit up and there were stars lighting up the artificial sky they were still under. "Whoa..."
Maki walked up next to him. "They actually asked me to help while I was teaching them how to throw knives." Maki looked down. "Strangely enough, they were incredible." Kaito laughed and got closer to Maki. "Honestly, I'm convinced they're good at everything." He turned over the tag and read it.

Thanks to Maki, I was able to get this done a long time ago. I saw you sleeping with the lamp on in your room... this could be a good alternative.
Kaito straightened. "Th-that's not true!" Miu cackled. "An astronaut is scared of the dark! Classic!" Kaito's face turned red and he looked away. "Just look at the other gifts!" Kokichi looked into the bag. "Angie!" She skipped over and Kokichi handed her a canvas. "Aw! Atua says he loves it! And I agree!" Kaede looked over her shoulder. "Oh my goodness! That's so pretty!" It was a painting of Angie.
I know this is probably no match for the Ultimate Artist... but I hope you like it!
Angie brought the canvas to her chest. "I will treasure this!" Kokichi looked in the bag and pulled out something. "Ryoma, come!" Ryoma walked over and smiled once he laid eyes on the gift. It was his Kubz Pad, but he knew that you wouldn't give him the one with no one in it. He turned it one and he saw the video.
Ryoma, you may not think you have an important person in your life, and I don't think I can really change that. But, you're an important person in ours.
And then different moments during the past few months were compiled in one 2 minutes long video that everyone watched. At the very end, the screen went dark and your voice said.
You're not alone, and you never will be.
Kokichi's eyes widened. Shuichi looked at him, then at the ground. Reaching into the bag again, Kokichi smiled a bit. "U-um, Kaede, this one's yours." He handed her a paper with a note at the back.
I'm not really any good at writing music, but I hope you like it!
Kaede looked at the notes you scribbled down and smiled. "The next time we see a piano, I'll play this for you guys!" Kokichi nodded and reached into the bag again. "Gonta." He didn't even have to read the tag, he just knew. Gonta walked up and his eyes lit up. "Butterflies Gonta and Y/N made!" He said while he examined the small jar. Rantaro walked up next to him and read the tag.

I didn't quite know what you would want, so I thought I'd incorporate our times together in this small jar!
Rantaro smiled and looked at Kokichi, who was holding out Rantaro's gift. Rantaro's eyes got glossy once Kokichi placed the seemingly meaningless piece of jewelry in his hand. It looked a bit like Rantaro's necklace, but the little accessory wasn't grey. Instead it was F/C. Kokichi was still holding the note, so he decided to read it to Rantaro.
When you gave me your necklace, I never got to give you one, so now I have.
Kokichi handed the paper to Rantaro and put his hand in the bag again. "Himiko, this one's yours." She took it and grinned. "Angie, Tenko, look!" Angie and Tenko walked up to her. "Oh wow, Himiko! That looks so cool!" It was an originally broken glass ball from Himiko's room. But the pieces were painted with glass paint, and were glued back together. On the inside of the glass ball was a light that you should turn on from the bottom.
Doesn't it look magical?
Kokichi looked inside the bag again and his eyes lit up. "Oh Kee-boy~!" Kiibo walked up to Kokichi and he smiled. "They took my request!" He said excitedly. Kokichi rolled his eyes. "Of all things?" Kiibo nodded and held the kimono in front of him. "They were measuring me, but I didn't think it was for this!"
I kept my promise!
Kokichi laughed. "Dude, you better not try to put that on! You'd look so stupid!" Kiibo neatly folded the kimono. "I won't. I might ruin it!" Kokichi looked in the bag. "Only a few left! Tenko, this one's yours." She walked up and quickly took the gift from Kokichi as if he were infected. "Ooh!" She squealed once she got a look at the gift. It was a book titled, "Girls be Girls," also written by you. Tenko turned it around to read the back. "A story about three girls, one a mage, another a fighter, and the last a creator." Tenko, Angie, and Himiko looked at each other and smiled.
Does the story sound familiar? I hope you like it!
Kokichi looked into the bag once more and pulled out notebook. "Kiyo, this is yours." Kiyo took the notebook and opened it. It was empty, except for the words "Write in me!" Kiyo tilted his head and took the pen attached to the notebook. He wrote down his name and closed it.
You'll see what this is for soon enough
Kokichi tilted his head. "Man... why does Y/N always have to be so mysterious?" He reached into the bag and picked up his gift, but put it down and picked up someone else's. "Maki~" She scoffed and snatched it from his hands. It was a knife, but there was something carved at the handle.
Being brave isn't fearing nothing, it's standing tall when you're afraid.
Maki smiled and spun the knife. "If I ever have to kill you, Kokichi, I'm killing you with this." Kokichi grinned. "I'd rather be killed by something Y/N made!" Shuichi smiled and looked at Rantaro. "Kokichi, what about your gift?"
Kokichi's lips slightly parted. "U-um, okay." He slowly reached into the bag one last time and pulled out a small box. There was a paper sticking out of it, with his name on one side, and the beginning of a quote on the other.
I could give you a whole poem,
Kokichi slowly opened the box and his eyes widened. There was a small ring inside, and on the inner part of the ring, it said:
But I'd rather say I love you
Kokichi covered his mouth. "Ah, so that's what they needed the ring for." Miu said. Kokichi stared at the ring as if he would never see it again. Once he lifted the ring, he saw the message at the bottom of the box.
And I promise to spend the rest of my life doing so
Kokichi's eyes were glossy. He felt a hand rest itself over his and he heard someone say, "Put it on." He looked down at the ring and put it on his right ring finger. He smiled shut his eyes. "Thanks... I promise to love you for the rest of mine, too."
