Raven was persuaded to open one gift from each person and leave the rest for the next day so that he could get his sleep properly.

…and thus, the birthday boy was found with dark circles and a sheepish grin the next morning by Mana, who came to fetch him for breakfast.
Looking at the piles of opened gifts scattered all over the room, Mana shook her head helplessly. "Too excited to sleep?" she asked the boy.
