    You have known the Cattons for a very long time now, they were a family friend, you often came to stay for a while since your parents died and you went to the same college as their kids.

    The Cattons had invited you to a birthday party for one of their guests, Felix's friend, Oliver Quick. You remember seeing Oliver around Oxford University, he stared at you quite a bit. But you didn't say anything because you didn't want to embarrass him.

    A couple weeks prior to now you had gotten the invitation for Oliver's birthday party at Saltburn, the party's theme was "A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare." And you were looking forward to it. The party rolls around and you check the invitation again as your eyes scan the writing in cursive of the details. You had to remember his name. It was polite after all.

    You arrive at the party and it's filled with drunk, rich, people partying and dancing all throughout Saltburn Manor. You see a large clock in the mansion and see that you got there a little late, nobody noticed. Someone announced that it was time to sing Happy Birthday and have the cake. You walked to the middle of Saltburn to see hundreds of people crowded up the 2 long staircases and crowded around Oliver. Since you knew who he was you walked over and stood beside him as one of the butlers lit the candles and people started singing, it was all going fine and everyone was laughing and singing until it got to "Happy birthday dear..." and people trailed off. They didn't know whose birthday party they had even come to, they didn't even know who Oliver was. You look at Oliver and see his smile fade as someone in the crowd of people yells "Oh shit I forgot his name.." and the people around him start laughing. Oliver looks down at the cake as his smile fades and he looks expressionless while his gaze remains on the lit candles on top of the cake
