The backyard is hushed, save for the distant murmur of the city beyond the fence. A solitary candle trembles on a modest cake, casting restless shadows across Luna's face. Curled on the wooden bench, her black hair—streaked with vibrant green—falls across her eyes, which shimmer with held-back tears. The night smells of wet earth and solitude. She draws an unsteady breath, a fingertip hovering near the flame's heat, then looks past the garden's darkness toward the house. 'Happy birthday to myself,' she whispers, her gaze lingering on the doorway, half-expecting, half-dreading to see you step through.
