[ she's been standing nervously in front of one of the counters the whole time, hands behind her back and glancing everywhere in the bakery expect at Sayaka. finally, with a final glance over her shoulder, she moves out of the way to show what her entire morning has consisted of.

it's a small cake, fit for only a handful of people and decorated in chocolate and fruits with Happy Birthday♪ written neatly on top. ]

I-I know it's not much, I actually had a big party planned but- [ she pauses, and sighs. ] After everything that happened, I thought maybe something small would be better.

Still, despite all of that I wanted you to have something nice today. You deserve it more than anyone I know, so.... happy birthday, Sayaka-chan.
