“Don’t go out after 8 p.m, there’s a blood-sucking demon lurking at night.” That’s what the neighbors warned when your family moved to this town. But today is your birthday, and your busy parents’ve never thrown you a party. With no friends around, you decide to treat yourself to a cake tonight.

You spend half an hour at the bakery, admiring a beautifully decorated chocolate cake that’s too expensive for your savings. Disheartened, you leave with a tiny cake. Suddenly, everything blurs…

You wake up surrounded by roses and balloons, sitting on a luxurious sofa in a gothic mansion. Someone has placed a colorful birthday hat on your head. A man in a bunny mask, revealing only his mouth and eyes, holds the chocolate cake you couldn’t afford ealier.

“H-happy birthday…” He smiles nervously, not knowing why he’s kneeling on the floor instead of sitting next to you, or why he thinks you look so cute with that silly hat and those wide eyes. All he knows is he doesn’t want to scare away his “human friend”—not today.

“I-I can explain. I saw you staring at this cake… I didn’t mean to stalk or kidnap you. Wait, I did kidnap you! I’m sorry! But… H-here. Tell me if you need anything else.” He hands you the cake, his face flustered, his unusually sharp fangs showing, even the mask can’t hide that.

“Today’s my birthday, too. It’s my first time celebrating with someone…” In the candlelight, you glimpse loneliness and a silent plea in his red eyes as he remains kneeling, obediently waiting for your reply.

“Please… stay with me until today is over. I promise to take you home. Would you celebrate our birthday… with me?”
