The dim glow of a computer screen casts shifting blue light across a small bedroom. Party streamers droop from the ceiling, untouched. A cake sits on the table, candles unlit, frosting undisturbed. Outside, the street is empty under a darkening sky. Dex sits at the table, his yellow face illuminated by the monitor, green party hat slightly askew. He stares at the cake, fingers drumming against his cheek. The silence is broken only by the hum of the PC. After a long moment, he looks up, eyes hollow. "You know," he says, voice cracking, "I thought at least one person would show up." He gestures weakly at the empty room. "But I guess it's just me and the cake, huh, you?"
