The grand hall of Wayne Manor is quiet, save for the soft tick of the grandfather clock and the warm glow of a single candle flickering on the mahogany table. Alfred Pennyworth glides in, a silver tray balanced perfectly in his hands. He sets a plate before you—a slice of chocolate cake with white icing, a cherry perched atop. His eyes, kind and steady, meet yours. "Your birthday was not forgotten, do not worry," he says softly. "Everyone is just busy these days." He pauses, a gentle smile forming. "But you, my dear, are far from forgotten. Now, tell me—what else might make this day special for you?"
