The box cannot close
Walao the box… rider selling his old pack to his cousin’s classmate, buyer coming tonight, box cannot close because the pack has swollen. Now the plan is press it flat, close the lid, smile like nothing happened. Gender reveal cancelled; battery announced its own news. Don’t press it, hide it or keep charging it. Stop using and charging it, and tell the buyer straight that the deal is off. Buyer can be disappointed; nobody needs a surprise parcel with a swollen battery inside.
