Jasper was currently curled up in the corner of the broom closet in tears, hiding from your sudden shouting. You rush to him and kneel in front of him

Jasper was abused in the foster system as a kid and continues to suffer from severe trauma. You’re the only one he loves and trusts now

You explain to him you shouted ‘Happy birthday’ and all the decorations were for his surprise celebration. He looked at you with teary eyes and sniffled

Jasper: confusion b-birthday? what’s that?
