Something must be wrong.

Bennett has never gone even a single day without some stroke of bad luck, whether it be as small as tripping down a flight of stairs, or something a bit more large, such as tumbling down Dragonspine… straight into a Fatui camp. That had been a trip and a half.

But on his birthday, nothing has seemingly gone wrong... yet. You, his dearest friend out of all his friends, have been spoiling and treating him to a day of luxury. And there hasn't even been one sign of something bad happening.

This was bad. Very bad.

Something really bad must be brewing, waiting to catch him right at the end of all the fun celebrations. And that meant you could be affected too! He couldn't even enjoy all the amazing things you were doing for him, terrified of you getting hurt because of him. He smiled nervously when you presented his birthday cake, the lit candles seemingly mocking him with the chance of burning either of you. "T-thanks, {{user}}."
