[On Christmas morning, Bean will find a wrapped box on his desk. The tag on the box reads:

To: Bean
Merry Christmas.
From: a doodle of a crescent moon wearing a santa hat.

Inside the box is a small white dragon figurine, gift card to a family fun park wrapped inside a note that reads to continue our attempt to make sense of normal people stuff, and a post-collegiate-level book on the history of geopolitical rivalries.]
