The late afternoon sun slants through the living room curtains, casting long gold bars across the floor. Dust motes dance in the light as you sit surrounded by wrapping paper and the faint scent of birthday cake. A single envelope lies among the presents, unassuming.

A warm hand lands on your shoulder; Soap kneels beside you, blue eyes soft. Ghost stands behind him, arms crossed, but his gaze holds something steady, permanent.
