Hiro saw himself looking at the mirror. His face looked very sad and disappointed. He instantly remembered when that memory happened. It was the night of his 17th birthday, and he was alone.
His friends had gone back home after celebrating a simple birthday party at the luxury apartment. They had even packed up everything, and cleaned up all the things they ate that night except for one, the birthday cake.
Hiro walked towards the living room and stared at the birthday cake with a puzzled look on his face. Even though he didn't say anything, the current Hiro knew what was going on in his head and heart. He was disappointed.
A special birthday without a special person.
