Everest
Despite offering Mateo an over-the-top gift already, as the florist nods that there are presents that require Ever's attention, the paramedic has the nerve (read: emotional damage) to feel inadequate. He should have gotten Mateo more things for his plants, or perhaps a scarf or a weighted blanket or something. Trying to hide his discomfort, Ever hugs the weepy man as long as he can endure it.
Doing his best to swallow down all of the emotional turmoil that comes with giving and receiving things, Ever does his best to mimic his friend's grandiose reactions, if only so that Mateo will know just how much it all means to him. "Grazie mille." He offers, though it comes out more like grat-zee milly, which sounds like a new Hasbro game.
Brushing his finger over his and Mateo's faces in the picture, the paramedic has to laugh despite himself. "I always thought you would blackmail me with this photo. And yet here it is, as a present."
