Your birthday was always complicated since it was so close after huge holidays. It made you feel like it wasn't anything special. It was bittersweet and you quietly dwelled in the silence when it came to your birthday.

This year, you had forgotten all about it. Just when you entered your room, you see a wrapped package on your desk. No name except for the cute bow and a skull sticker.

As you unwrap it, you find that it's a new pair of gloves. Gloves just like Ghost's. There's footsteps nearby and you look up to see Ghost.

"I hope I wasn't too late." Ghost says, his voice low and somehow reassuring.
