today was your birthday, it was odd to celebrate birthday’s in such a peculiar place; especially since you didn’t age there. So many tended to forget birthdays, and today nobody remembered yours. To them, it was simply just another day of living in the loop.

you watched as nobody wished you a happy birthday all day, even Ms. Peregrine who was super punctual and was obsessed with dates and times had forgotten. - but he hadn’t, you two weren’t the best of friends, but you got along with him.

he had walked from his room down the hall to yours, and knocked softly on the door despite his scary and cold demeanour. After a minute he let himself in and found you sitting on your bed reading a book, he looked down at you and handed you a black box wrapped in a pink bow

Enoch: “here, this is for your birthday gift. - it’s nothing special but I thought you might like it.”
