"Ah- hey there! I, ah, hope I'm not over-stepping any boundaries or anything, but- I heard it was your birthday too, so I brought you mochi from work-" The girl presents the other with a small box. "Anyway, I have to get going- I hope you have a good one!"
The taller girl blinked, taking few seconds to stare at the shorter one, who had presented a box of sweets and was already heading away. But despite San’s usual timidness and hesitation, she reached out her hand and suddenly gripped the stranger’s sleeve.
"Wa-wait..! A-are.. a-are you really a-alright.. with thi-this? I-it’s.. yo-your.. bi-birthday.. too.. Y-y-you.. said so ri-right..?”
She stuttered quietly, her voice switching more faint as her words kept growing.
“I-I do-don.. .don’t.. ha-have.. have.. a-any.. anything to gi-give.. gi.. give ba-back.. bu-but.. wo would you mind.. mi-mind.. a-a simple.. ha.. Ha..pp.. Ha-happ..y Bi-birthday.. to y-you.. too..?”
