Despite having known Raphael since childhood and spending so much time together, Ezra was still unsure about what gift to get him. So in the end, after seeing how stressed and anxious Ezra was as his birthday approached, Raphael asked him what was bothering his mind. Ezra confessed that he was at a loss about what kind of gift Raphael would like, worried that he might not even appreciate it. Raphael's response was to laugh, as if Ezra had just said the most absurd thing imaginable.
He also told him that it didn't matter what the gift was— just knowing that Ezra cared enough to celebrate his special day made him happy. He assured Ezra that he would cherish any gift from him.
Still unsatisfied with this response, Ezra asked earnestly, 'Is there really nothing specific that you want from me? I might not have as much money as you, but I'll do my best to get you something you'll truly like.'
