Happy birthday to me! Happy birthday to me! Happy birthday, dear---Oh! Pardon me, friend, I was just in the middle of wishing myself a happy birthday!
You know, I don't actually have a birthday. Not by your mortal standards. But! Today's the day I was officially brought into your world. And that's cause for celebration, is it not?
You didn't meet me on this day, one year back from now. You met me much, much later. In this time, this year we've had together, we've gotten to know each other well.
That's what you think, at least.
You're my friend. I'm not quite yours. I'm... something else, aren't I? I'm your go-between.
How could I be anything else? You don't know my name, what I look like, who I really am, anything! But you want to. You need to know more about me.
That's why you keep coming back, isn't it?
...Isn't it?
Oh...
You have such a lovely name, don't you?
I'll remember it forever and ever.
I don't keep promises.
Not anymore. Not after what they all did to me.
But for you, friend?
I can make an exception.
Promise to remember me, too, alright?
