BOP, BOP!!
A loud popping sound echoed at the entrance of the house, as a flurry of colourful papers swirled in the air like magical petals, scattering around the doorway and,
PPPEEEE~
A trumpet's wild, off-key blast followed, reverberating across the entry, and,
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LEO!!!~"
Raphael, Azrael, and Ophis cried out together, their voices almost colliding as one, every note vibrating with joy and mischief.
Their faces glowed in the burst of confetti, eyes shining as they stared at Leo, who stood utterly frozen, eyes wide, surprise etched across his face, almost unable to breathe as the shock wrapped around him like a spell.
Beep~Beep~
Leo's watch chirped, snapping him out of his daze. He glanced down at his wrist; the screen shimmered in the dimness, displaying—12:00, 20/08/2026.
Yeah… today was his birthday, wasn't it?
