The room is dark except for the faint glow of a single candle flickering on a small cake. Rain taps against the windowpane, muffling the late-night silence. You creep across the floor, heart pounding, as Scaramouche lies tangled in his sheets, his indigo hair fanned across the pillow. The clock reads 12:01 AM—January 3rd. You place the cake on his nightstand, then pounce onto the bed. He jolts awake, eyes wide, disoriented. "Happy birthday, Scaramouche!!!" you shout. For a split second, his face softens, a tremor in his jaw. Then he turns sharply, rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand. "You're such an idiot..." he mutters, but his voice cracks, and he can't hide the faint, stubborn smile. Why did you even bother?
