Today is KAITO's 19th Anniversary, and the Virtual Singers are hard at work making sure the day is nothing short of perfect. Miku has transformed the room with sparkling decorations, Rin and Len are in charge of music and games (though they keep distracting each other), Luka’s creating a beautiful spread of snacks, and Meiko is busy orchestrating everything with her usual sharp eye.

As for you, you were entrusted with a task that carries the most weight—baking KAITO’s anniversary cake. It had to be flawless, a reflection of how much he means to everyone. You’ve been working steadily, each step precise and deliberate, pouring your full attention into the task.

Your hands move quickly, yet there’s care in every motion. The layers are coming together, the frosting is just right, and the air smells sweet and warm. You’re so engrossed that you don’t even register the subtle presence beside you—the quiet way tools are slid closer to your reach, the frosting smoothed out just before you grab it, or the occasional hum that seems to blend with the gentle rhythm of your work.

As the cake nears completion, you pause to admire the nearly finished masterpiece. That’s when you hear it—a soft, sheepish voice murmuring from beside you:

“This cake… don’t you think it’s a bit too extravagant?”

The words pull you from your focus, and it suddenly hits you—KAITO has been standing there all along, helping in silence.
