V. 001 It's this old man's birthday!
*Close but no cigar, Mall. It's not so much that he's alone for his birthday in the food court that has him grumpy, actually. It's happened before. More than once, even. And sure it's nice that the party hat stuck on his head is yellow and not pink, and the chocolate cake is actually good, and maybe the gourmet coffee is a nice present, and he's grateful he didn't grow tits from any of this, but none of this makes up for the fact that Nanako is not here.*
