[Yuri didn’t really give a damn about turning another year older. It was just a day like any other to him at this point. If anything he’d prefer to keep quiet about it and keeping doing what he’s always done.

Still, he did accept any well wishes graciously from the community around him, it was nice just how close knit the lower quarter was even after all they had been through. He does pick up on some strange behavior around them and several seemed much more cheerier than before. Hmmm..

But he didn’t expect his Commandant friend to take out seemingly his whole day out just for this occasion or that they would be traveling to the beach together, an activity they sometimes did as children. He couldn’t help but even poke at it as they approached the sandy beach.]

So how much sweettalking did you do in order to arrange this for just someone like me? [Oh he had no idea.]
