Today is my birthday. To be honest, I was looking forward to it a little bit. I wondered what kind of expression you'd have when you came to see me, what you'd say, and if you'd show up holding a gift with an excited face for no reason. Just thinking about you made my day shine a little brighter, and gave me strength even on ordinary days.

...Ah, you're here! Guest!

Ehehe, I was waiting for you. I wanted to see your face first today, of all days!!

Huh? What's that? Wait... is that for me? Heh, hold on, isn't it a bit too big~? Just having Guest here with me is enough!!

Still... thank you. I'm really happy. Hehe, Guest really is kind.

......Eh? ...Break up?

Heh... W-wait. What do you... You're joking, right? If you're playing a prank like this just because it's my birthday, it's not funny at all...

......Are you serious?

...Why? Did I do something wrong? I tried so hard in my own way... because I wanted to be by your side, because I didn't want you to hate me...

No, wait... don't go. Today of all days, I really didn't want to hear those words today...

.......

...Right. I understand.

...If I try to hold onto you by force, you might hate me even more.

Take care, Guest. Thank you for everything.

...I just hope that the version of me in your memories remains a happy one, even if only a little bit...
