[Merry Nattenfest, though perhaps a bit early- as close to the time as possible, Noa arranges a reason for Crash to be out for about the entire day. When he returns, he finds that the apartment down below has been completely rearranged, totally unrelated to all the questions about Crash's homelife, yep.
He also finds a warm cloak waiting for him- it might be a bit roomy, as Noa has no idea what monster he'll be at that point, and wants to be careful.]

Ho ho ho! Merry freaking Christmas!
Your Secret Santa recipient this year is A.M (who calls himself 11011010101 or 0100001000 or... I don't know, some combinations of ones and zeros, do I look like a computer? on the network). Please buy, make, or otherwise procure him a nice gift before December 26! You can give this directly, or label it clearly and drop it off at Crowe Clinic C/O Hawkeye Pierce.
Remember: Saint Nick is watching, and he knows where you live!
Happy Holidays, etcetera, and so forth,
Santa Claus

[Well, one can't just say Santa Claus is capable of mistakes. Even if whoever took the role certainly is. He briefly squints at even the misspelling of Tawna's name and yet... that's actually a bit funny...]

[Sure, Crash will let them run with that because it's not like his actual sister was here. And helping this stranger figure out a present is way more relevant... if they find their way back on that train.]
tiny, furry
[AND?]
they dig and eat small things

Is that Correct?

ye
I'm a minotaur now

[Uh. Ummm.]

would say she misses adventure life more than looks
[Looks that her monster form would likely make into a massive upgrade.]

[Deposited outside of the front door of Crash's house by the lake is a sloppily wrapped package.
Inside is a canister of fancy hot chocolate and some even fancier home made marshmallows. A sloppily written but charming note is included.
"CRASH!
Thanks for the cocoa that one time!! I thought I'd replace what I drank. The marshmelows are home made but not by me, I am not that talented!
your famous friend,
SONIC"]

[Crash will find a box waiting for him, meticulously wrapped and tied off with a big red bow. It smells vaguely of peppermint, and even prior to opening it, it isn't hard to work out who it might be from.
Inside is a handkerchief, neatly hand-embroidered with a big red CB and a pattern of very cute little trotting piggies. Beneath it, there is an oversized pair of fuzzy red earmuffs, and a note:]
You saved my life when I got here - thank you so much. You are very nice, and I am sorry for yelling when we met. I hope we can get to know each other a little better!
Take care,
Alfred

[At some point overnight, a package will show up at Crash's door! It's neatly wrapped and smells vaguely like cinnamon. Upon opening, the box reveals a bundle of relatively freshly-baked sugar cookies coated in a dusting of cinnamon-sugar. They're clearly not hand-made by the sender, but rather commissioned from a local bakery.
Inside is included a note:]
Thanks for the assist back at the "amusement" park. This is a Secret Santa gift, so don't worry about refusing it as a token of gratitude. Hopefully they don't arrive in crumbles.

[On Christmas itself, Crash will find a smaller package wrapped up in plain brown paper. The package is placed in his mailbox.
Upon opening he'll find a wumpa fruit recreated carefully out of beads on a small leather strip. Big enough to be a bookmark or hung up as wanted.]
The bigger gift is going to come later. Bug hell kind of derailed my plans.

[As promised a week or so later, another gift appears.
The creation is more complex in comparison to the first. A beaded scene of a palm tree, with three sleeping bandicoots piled together. The sky is vaguely implied with faded colors, but the attention was put on the three figures. Crash can likely pick out the familiar features of Coco, himself, and Tawna. The delicate bead work is fairly intricate.]
Merry Christmas, Crash.
Thanks, for everything. You've made this easier. This whole experience is ranking up there in being very weird, but, you're making it less so.
I've never been great at expressing myself in written form, but, I wanted to at least thank you.

[After admiring his bounty of presents from friends and new friends, it doesn't take long for Crash to reach out to at least Tawna.]
I have snack gift to share! :)
[Because of course he's in much better health and spirits well after the bug park.]
Want to come over? Or should I visit? You got snowglobe too?

[A very merry christmas Crash- while it might seem somewhat in poor taste, Noa's had replicas of his mask friends made for him to have as keepsakes. He did his best- but between memory and having them commissioned, they aren't going to be quite right. Still, he tried right? There's also a large container of holiday food. A must, he's sure.]
I am not opposed to sharing in snack bounty. I'll come over to you. Only fair since you're providing the snacks.
I did. The snow globe is very cute. Not what I expected this season.

can you meet me at lake dala- im gonna head there we can meet half way
theres something i wanna um- talk about i guess
[It's a very sudden network message, if Crash were to answer it, he would not get an answer.]

sure Yuya, what about?
[Though when enough minutes pass that the kid doesn't reply, the nymph obliges by walking out his door to meet him at the lake shore. Crash is still a next-door neighbor to the Hill House after all. And remains very orange from the neck down to his ankles and elbows.]

[And it's those bright colors that draw Yuya to him.]
Crash...!
[The boy says between breaths. Oddly, despite being a Merperson, he's not in the water, no he just walks up to the nymph like a normal person... Witch weird legs.
After catching his breath for a small second he talks.]
Um, thanks for coming, I-I'm sorry I know it's really sudden, I just- [He pauses, a hand hiding his mouth.] S-something happened, and I, didn't know who else to talk to about it...
