Hmm...

Something on your mind, Reiko?

The snow made me think I missed something...

Well it is Christmas.

I know that! Just... something else...

Something to do with Mitch?

No... no...

[pause]

Christmas is the 25th. ... oh damn!

What?! What is it?!

... I forgot my own birthday. I'm twenty one now.

... [snicker, trying and failing to not laugh out loud] Oops. H-happy birthday and merry Christmas, Rei?

[grumble] Oh shut up...
