I didn't actually care what was inside because I was busy with other things. But when my mom gave me this box, I was a bit surprised by this gift, and my mood consequently got better, and I started smiling. Of course, I thanked my mom for this gift. When I opened the box, I saw a doll inside. When I was a child, I loved to collect dolls and figures. When I saw this doll, I was really delighted. I put her on my shelf where my collection was displayed. This doll was really pretty, and I think she became one of my favorites. I received it because my mom wanted to see me smiling. This doll had some unique features that caught my eye. To this day, I have this doll on my shelf, and I'm really pleased.
