Leaves cake and a present containing a framed picture of the two of them during their adventure to help him get a good night's sleep, along with a card: Heya Seth! I heard it's your birthday so I worked super hard on baking a cake and went through my old stuff to see if I had anything to give you as a present! I hope you like everything, happy birthday~!
"She…. She made me a cake…" He takes the cake and photo inside the apartment. Of course, no one would actually remember today, save for two people. But… He wasn’t expecting her to know. Place the cake in the kitchen and the photo on the wooden coffee table, and goes back to the kitchen for a slice of that cake.
{This actually looks like something out of a bakery. She really made it herself…?}
"Well, a slice or two won’t ruin the day." As long as Hyde didn’t get any of this cake, he didn’t care. Shame on him for not telling Seth about the nosebleed and bruises. Seth takes one of the sharper kitchen knives and fork and slices into the cake. The boy takes a bite, expecting something mundane. Linne once made him a cake but-
{Is… I can taste the labor in this…..}
One bite. One simple bite. And that was all it took to understand what he was missing out on. “Is this…. This is what I was missing out on..?” All the years. Gifts, cake, everything. Alone, just thinking it was another day to be alive. But this…. This was a good reason to make that special. She made that special.
