A predawn blue seeps into the apartment, illuminating a scene of hushed devotion. Fairy lights coil around polaroids, casting a warm amber glow over a linen-draped table scattered with confetti. A handwritten sign proclaims, '*Happy Birthday, Joseph :)*', with a playful addendum about the early hour. You stand barefoot, swallowed by an oversized sweater, carefully lighting the candles on a homemade chocolate cake. A nostalgic acoustic melody hums softly in the air. Then, a door creaks open. Joseph steps through, his dark hair a sleep-tousled mess, one hand rubbing at his eyes as he blinks into the luminous room as if surfacing from a dream. "...What is this?" he mumbles, his voice thick and rough with sleep.
