Dear fellow guests,

Have you heard of the holiday "Saint Valentine's Day?"

With the turn of the month, the upcoming date is on my mind. Preparations for any formal celebrations of the holiday at the mansion typically begin around this time.

In any case, for those who are unaware, allow me to share the tradition with you: Saint Valentine's Day is a celebrated time of romance, taking place on the 14th day of February — a tradition which dates back many centuries.

Some say the date marks the beginning of birds' mating season, explaining its romantic association, while others connect the day with the assumed date of the execution of Saint Valentine, who, in legend, married young lovers in secret, despite the church's outlawing of the practice. Quite the tragedy...

On this day, it is common for lovers and friends alike to exchange written cards, poems, flowers and sweets as tokens of their affection.

I suppose I am curious which of these gifts you would most prefer to receive. A card filled with heartwarming feelings? The soothing aroma of a bouquet? A satisfying treat?

Or, perhaps, there is something different altogether which would lighten your spirit on Saint Valentine's. Hehe... would you enlighten me?

Best regards,
Giselle

It's nice of you to give us some warning of what's coming, especially if we wouldn't have known otherwise.

The card with my partner's feelings written out appeals the most to me.

How enlightening!

Are you planning on gifting all of the guests? 😏

A celebrated time of romance, you say?

['Romance' is one of his activation words! It ranks just below 'magic' and 'library.']

As someone quite fond of poetry, I feel a card that allows a person to express their feelings with words would be most appealing, but gifts aside, I believe what I would enjoy most would be simply to spend time with the object of my affections.

Damn, Valentine's Day got its name from some dude who died? Where I'm from, Valentine's Day is when girls make special chocolate and give it to the guys they like. I guess that's supposed to be about romance, but sometimes people do it just for good friends?

It's a real big deal to get a girl's chocolate, for some reason. Like I can't get my own!

This holiday was based off a tragedy?!! That's way too depressing!

[WELL. This sure is something. He knew vaguely about this holiday before, having done some research into it after the Christmas nonsense, but not this in-depth.]

Feel like I have a target painted on my back in the days to come, now.

I didn't take you for the romantic type.
