[ It’s been over two weeks since the New Year started, since Seto has considered himself yet another year older. That makes him seventeen this year, two years older than what he arrived here as.

Seto has never celebrated his birthday in his whole life. He’s celebrated his friend’s birthdays here, but not his nor even the old man’s back home. For as long as he can remember, his grandfather would just mark him a year older every year at some point. It isn’t likely that the old man actually knew when his real birthday was since he had only been with him since he was five. He was just an old man he lived with, an old man he rarely spoke to even until the very end.

But in his world, there had never been a point to celebrate a birthday or a way to, because they have nothing, not like they do here in Luceti. Not to mention, whoever is born into his world would have nothing to know of the date they were born. Survivors too because even if they remembered their birthdays, they would've no doubt lost track of time and dates.

There was never any to tell what month is coming up or which is ending. The only way to tell what time of the year it must be was when seasons would begin to change, watching the leaves, grass and temperature all change. It's how things were for him and his grandfather at least. He can't speak for the survivors whom he doesn't even know are alive, only assume if there are even any.

...It makes him wonder briefly to himself if the silver haired girl and Crow know theirs at all.

He's not one to complain, and really he won't, not about this. But... it would still be nice to have just one day that he can celebrate his birth, to be grateful for still being alive for another year when all others have died and to be grateful to his parents for giving birth to him. ]


What do you do when you don’t have a birthday? Like you can’t remember when it is. [The question comes after a moment after he opens up his journal.] Is there any way to just... make up a birthday?

Of course! I pick a new day every year! That way, my birthday party's always a surprise! [You do not want to know what goes on at his birthday parties...]

That depends on what I feel like doing. Sometimes, I let 'em know in advance, and other times, I just let them pick when to throw the party! [He always decides on the date, though, so if they don't celebrate on the date that he decided, there are unfortunate consequences.]

Oh, it's certainly a surprise, all right. [He usually winds up disappointed, but at least it gives him an excuse to start downsizing.] Usually, I just go with days that are important to me, but you can just pick a day at random if you want to - I don't care!

Good for you. So what's your excuse? [There has to be some reason why the kid doesn't know his own birthday - besides, if the conversation turns to his reason, it would give him a chance to make up a new backstory for himself, and that's always fun.]

For not remembering when your own birthday is! You've obviously got one, or did you forget it?
