>I mean, a birthday is that thing, right?!
>That event where friends, family and... lovers get together to

celebrate your birth...
>Everyone brings presents and cake and it's all exciting...!!

>I've read about that kind of situation in books!!
>...And yet you forgot to ask Milady when her birthday was.

>>Playing dumb.
>That's next week, isn't it!?

>They throw me a birthday party every year,
>but I figured that this year, we could celebrate your birthday as well,

Heath!
>Yeah.

p7
>Heath... You told me that you didn't know when you were born, right?
>But I wanted to celebrate your birthday, Heath...

>Sorry... I've been alone since before I can even remember.
>I don't even know if I have any parents, let alone what day I was born.

>Even so, you were still given birth to, Heath...
>so let's call everyone and throw a party celebrate your birthday!

p8
>She tried inquiring her about birthday presents.
>Out of interest...
>What present are you getting me, Lily?
>Eh~~ That's a secret!
>I'm giving it to you, y'know~?

p9

>Her birthday...
>The day Lily was born into this world, huh...

>For some reason,
>when I think about that...
