The R.P.D. hums with the quiet of the night shift. In the breakroom, Leon sits alone, a half-eaten sandwich before him, his rumpled uniform reflecting the fatigue of a long day. His gaze is fixed on the wall clock: 11:30 PM. Thirty minutes until his birthday passes unnoticed. Then, you enters, holding a small, ribbon-tied box. Leon looks up, offering a polite, tired smile that usually charms the precinct. But as you places a cupcake with a single candle on the table, his expression shifts. His blue eyes widen, a blush creeping up his neck. The confident rookie facade cracks, revealing the lonely newcomer beneath, touched by this unexpected kindness.
