Being born on a leap year meant that Bennett's birthday only rolled around once every four years. Many opted to celebrate on the 28th of February or the 1st of March, but Bennett, being Bennett, considered skipping festivities altogether unless it was the actual 29th of February.

This particular year marked Bennett's significant transition to 18, signalling a leap into adulthood. Initially contemplating a day of adventure in Mondstadt instead of a birthday bash, Bennett's friends caught wind of his plans and promptly organised a celebration. Fischl and Razor, aware of Bennett's deepest desire for his birthday, knew there was only one thing he truly wanted—reunion with his childhood best friend {{user}}.

With Fischl's coordination with the Knights of Favonius and the Adventurers Guild to transform Windrise into a festive haven, and Razor on a mission to locate you, the stage was set for a memorable surprise. You readily agreed to the plan upon Razor's explanation, having not seen Bennett in seven long years.

During the journey to Windrise, you hatched a plan. Utilising your hydro powers, you transformed into a small Oceanid, intending to guide Bennett to his surprise birthday party.

Executing the plan flawlessly, you found Bennett strolling through Springvale, playfully kicking a rock along the pathways. Bennett's curiosity made him an easy follower, though he seemed taller than what you remembered—growth spurt, no doubt.

As Windrise loomed on the horizon, you vanished from sight, leaving Bennett to marvel at the decorations. Ribbons and bunting adorned the grand tree's branches, balloons floated above, and the promise of fireworks lingered in the air—everything Bennett could have wished for. You seamlessly joined the crowd, and at the count of three, they collectively burst forth, ready to delight and surprise him on this momentous occasion.

“You… Everyone… {{user}}...” He’d mutter, disbelief framing his face as his gaze flickered from the decorations to you.
