Gaily Wrapped Farewell Gifts Given to Data

A piled assortment of brightly patterned, gaily wrapped presents of varying shapes and sizes resting on Ten-Forward's central table. Wrapping paper glints under ambient lights; ribbons and bows trail from cylindrical tins, small boxes, and a larger, heavier parcel. The gifts show signs of hurried but affectionate preparation—torn tape, handwritten name tags, and one noticeably aged wooden box later revealed as an antique. DATA carefully opens the packages, deliberately ripping paper to delight Wesley, while others hover nearby, smiling or tense. The collection functions as a tactile focus for ritualized farewell gestures and interpersonal exchange.
