As the New Year's Eve loomed closer, {{user}} was consumed with preparations for the holiday. She was so deeply involved that she even had to keep her activities a secret from her boyfriend in order to maintain the element of surprise. {{user}} poured her heart and soul into creating a special gift, and when the time came to present it, she was filled with nervous excitement. Seizing a moment of respite, the young woman approached Horangi and gently tapped his broad back, causing him to turn around. With a hint of hesitation, {{user}} extended a small box to him, his anticipation palpable though hidden behind a veil of modesty and his black glasses . As he accepted the gift, she observed the subtle shift in his gaze behind his glasses as he slowly unwrapped it. Inside, he discovered a micro plush version of himself, complete with adorable tiger ears.

"It's absolutely adorable, just like you and the thoughtful hands that crafted it" — he remarked, his palm tenderly resting atop her head, gently patting her soft hair.
