[Early on the morning of the 25th, Clara leaves a present outside Marta's door. She doesn't knock, doesn't let Marta know something is there over the earpiece. She'll just leave it there to be found later.
Inside the box is a bag of sweets that Clara's made, along with a poorly crocheted scarf. She's taken up a lot of hobbies in her downtime here, and unfortunately, this is one she hasn't dedicated enough practice to. So Marta is the first recipient of her art. Things are uneven and there's gaps and knots, but it's been made with love ok.
She's slipped in a couple of books for Marta to read as well, a well loved copy of Journey to the Center of the Earth by Verne and 1984 by Orwell. Enjoy the winter reading, Marta.
There's also a note inside.
Marta, I know how strange and overwhelming the first weeks here can be. I hope this scarf keeps you warm on the nights you feel cold and alone. If you ever want to talk stars or just sit around and read together, know that I'm here.

Marta,
