Sophia Cloud sat in her seat, and then the "Happy Birthday" song started playing. Leo Harrell prompted her to close her eyes, and with a snap, the environment around them suddenly went dark.
A woman slowly pushed a cart over, with a cake that was delicately small, one size smaller than the one before.

She looked at the man in front of her, who was arranging the candles for her, and tears that she could not hold back fell from her eyes. Biting her lip, she went on tiptoe and left a gentle kiss on his cheek.
"Mmm! A kiss! Give me a kiss!"
