Oh, Spectre, has Mara really never had a birthday present?! That fucking fuck. I suppose, as far as the things he did go, that is...fairly mild. But what about the social stigma?! All of the other kids at school would be talking about their presents and she wouldn't be able to say a word. I can't even imagine it. Though...I suppose you don't have to. God, I am so sorry, Spectre. Every time I realise something like this, it makes me feel horrible and then I want to throw you both a party. Which...I suppose you're having soon anyway!!
Even when Mums had no money we still got presents. And we were too young to notice that that meant she ate ramen for weeks on end, if that. It was important to her to make us happy. And goddammit, I'm going to do the same.
The making her happy part, not the ramen part.
