Prodigy’s Playground

[September 23, 2025, weather: clear]

[Tonight, I’m going to celebrate a birthday with my friends.

Actually, it’s been a very long time since I last had a birthday.

I was never qualified to celebrate one.

My time has been forever frozen on that day from childhood.

I can’t get past it, can’t let it go, can’t grow up.

That scene is still vivid before my eyes even now, a lifelong regret.

Father said he would help me make up for that regret.

I have spent my whole life waiting for this day.
