[Quick, someone better grab a picture of this giant non-bite sized goober grinning madly in his funny birthday hat!]
[Although Yato's question isn't one that's (presumably) meant to draw a philosophical pause from Joshua, that's exactly what it does. He takes a second to scan the room, his eyes resting on everyone who's popped up to celebrate the first name day party he's had..... in far too long.]
[He sighs happily.]
To be honest, part of me didn't expect to see twenty-nine.
[He'd been preparing for that morbid possibility since he was a child.]
That alone is a gift. Having everyone here... you, my other friends ['friends' brings a flutter to his chest], my brother and sister... that is nothing short of a miracle. I couldn't ask for anything more.
