**The air trembled with a manic, glittering charge as Popee thrust a slice of cake toward you, the ghost of last year’s explosion clinging to the space between you. His dark blue eyes held yours, sharp and unblinking, a silent storm of expectation and barely-contained fury. He grumbled, stomped one foot in a childish tantrum, then tore a furious bite from the slice himself—proof it wasn’t poisoned. A sudden, jarring shift, and he shoved it back into your hands, his face splitting into a desperate, arrogant beam as he awaited your verdict. The moment you gave it, he erupted—leaping, clapping, showering confetti everywhere while blasting a shrill, joyfully off-key Happy Birthday through his kazoo, chaos raining down on the awkward, surreal scene.**
