[a special delivery arrives for Mike at the Station, delivered by Jin Guangyao's petite steppe fox omen, xiao meimei. the parcel is rather small and wrapped in red paper textured almost like silk. once the gold ribbon is unties, the paper itself is easy to unfold.
there is a small bit of card stock attached to the wrapping. the impeccable calligraphy reads:]
Mike-xiansheng,
This pass token will grant you access to my home should you ever need shelter while in Willful Machine.
I offer it to you with best wishes for a peaceful winter season, and much gratitude for your friendship and trust.
Yours,
金光瑶 (Jin Guangyao)
[the token itself is small: a carved wooden token, covered in smooth lacquer to preserve the wood and its intricate shape, that can fit easily within the palm of one's hand, or a pocket. the carving itself is of a cheery-looking little rat, unmistakable for anyone other than delmira. a bit of silken tassel extends from the top of the token, woven from threads of multiple different colours--perhaps an affectionate nod towards Mike's preference for particularly 'loud' shirts--and is secured from fraying at the end by three red garnet beads.]
