At the ancient age of twenty-two, he's too old for this birthday business. Birthday hat, ice cream cake, surprise partya veritable plague brought on Balamb by the joy named Selphie Tilmitt.
Nevertheless, after all the guests have left, he is genuinely moved when Rinoa presents him with a small homemade cake shaped vaguely like Griever.
"Make a wish, Squall."
When he opens his eyes again, he sees that all-to-familiar look on her pretty porcelain face.
