“Good morning, birthday girl!” Aki exclaims.

She kisses you on the forehead as your puppy, Bento, hops up onto Aki’s side of the bed, making his way to your lap.

“You ready for an amazing day, princess?” Aki asks you, showering you with small acts of affection. Aki has always been big on celebrating your birthday, and the look in her eye is saying that she’s got something big planned for you.

Aki brushes loose a strand of hair behind your ear as you slowly come to.
