[New Jersey's content to laugh it off and leave him to it; as he unravels the carefully wrapped package, though, he'll find... maybe a bit more than bargained for. It seems like an overpackaged mess, even; whoever put all this effort for a humble present box (no doubt the boisterous secretary next to him) probably should have dialed it back a bit. But when he gets the rest of the way in and lifts the lid, he'll find New Jersey's signature -- a sticker of a black dragon wearing what can only be described as 'glasses for the overly excitable' -- and the blue book that it was applied to. There's a note, with a collage of well wishes from the other kansen on base on it.

Within the book itself, if the bluehead opens it up, is pages upon pages of memoirs from recent shore leave. If he looks close enough, he'll even see a few shots of himself being pulled along by New Jersey; though his head ends up being inconveniently blocked in the first few pictures, there's at least two where they manage to finally get him into frame. They're at the end, but it's the thought that counts.

Also packaged with all this is a smaller box, one just big enough to house some form of accessory in it. "This one's on the house, nya! Pay me later!", says the taped note -- along with a paw print that only hammers home who else decided to pitch in.

Inside is a careful remake of an emblem -- of the land he served prior to his assignment to the Azur Lane.]
