Huh, doesn't seem like it's been five months.

Random question! Humans and all you other beings with hearts, tend to celebrate the day you were born, right?

You mean birthdays? Of course.

[Filtered]

[flared]

So how do you celebrate them?

[Filtered]

[wait4mesenpai]

Usually, there's a cake involved. And presents!

[flared]

Ehh, still doesn't make much sense, but thanks.

[wait4mesenpai]

Oh, it's no trouble at all. But why did you ask, if you don't mind me asking?

[Filtered]

[flared]

Something like a birthday doesn't hold any meaning to someone like me. But I think my best friend kinda deserves one, you know?

[Filtered]

[wait4mesenpai]

Why not? Everybody has a birthday...

Your best friend is quite lucky to have someone like you thinking of them.

When you don't truly exist, little things like birthdays don't matter.

Nah, I think it's the other way around.

[wait4mesenpai]

It's not a little thing, though. You exist, regardless of whether you think so or not.

[Filtered]

[flared]

It's a nice thought, to think we really do exist. But it's not that simple. Nobodies don't belong anywhere.

[wait4mesenpai]

But... You're talking to me, you're asking questions, and you obviously have feelings about your best friend. Aren't those qualities, if nothing else, proof you exist?

[Filtered]

[flared]

We don't have hearts, nor do we have the feelings that come with it. We're sorta like empty shells with a soul. We're just... here. Can't really call it an existence if you lack the main component, right?
