She was desperately trying to change her fate, and the more Capone and Sophia displayed their affection, the more it solidified her determination.
"By the way, I have relatives living in Hokkaido. They've just had a new baby, and I'm planning to fly over to visit and bring a gift for the little one. I wonder if there are any particular customs when it comes to gifts for newborns in Hokkaido?"
Christina paused with her knife and fork and asked Sophia this question. Capone glanced at her, but didn't pay much attention.
Sophia thought for a moment and replied, "There's not much to it. I think people mostly give things like gold or silver lockets. Some also give toys, dinnerware, and clothes. There are many options now, and the host family usually won't be too picky."
Christina smiled. "Yeah, when we were kids, we didn't have so many choices. The best you could give was a locket. But the gold back then was of much better quality. I'm still wearing mine."
