It's been months since Daniel has been adjusting to his new life with his mom's family.
Initially, he struggled because his job wasn't just taking care of his younger siblings, he was treated worse than a servant.
He was given a room in the servants' quarters along with the other servants. He wasn't even allowed to join the family during meals. So, he learned to eat alone in his small, storage-like room.
Even the family servants treated Daniel as if he were invisible....
Despite all the treatment he received, Daniel still tried to be okay because as long as he wore his invisible mask, he believed he would be fine.
This way, people around him wouldn't see his true feelings...
Daniel's birthday arrived, and on that day, he woke up feeling happy.
He believed that somehow, the day would go well because he had noticed a different treatment during past birthdays with the Reymundo family.
