aspiring | ✂ voicemail --

You've... thought of the clues but not the end? Interesting priorities, Saya-chan~

[He falters slightly at the zombies part because reminder of zombies and certain deaths DO NOT WANT, but.]

Understood. ♥ I'll go write that down.

Well, sure! Wouldn't it be nice if the end was a surprise to the both of us?

[An encouraging smile~]

Thanks, Billy. I appreciate it. I figure he'd like to see you on his birthday too.

I'm sure it'd be even more of a surprise to him if you end up not being able to think of one at all!

You're we—

[... wait what did she just say—

alslkasasd]

[alskdjlsalasjlaskd TOTALLY NOT AWKWARD as he looks away.]

Ahaha... I doubt it'd make a difference to him.

[.... sooooooooooo. cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute.]

Really? I beg to differ. He likes to pretend he doesn't have emotions, but it'd be a pretty reassuring sort of thing, if you ask me.

[... wait. WAIT-]

Billy, when's your birthday?

[... you're getting predictable, you know. :|]

He doesn't strike me as the sentimental type.

[...]

You didn't tell me about yours until after it happened, so I've got no reason to tell you~

[But it's still true!]

Me neither, but that's because he keeps his emotions bottled up and tucked away under his bed.

... what?! [as;dlkfjadsf :|] Do I need to pick a day for yours too?

[Shush. He's happier being oblivious to her thoughts.]

... A very interesting analogy, Saya-chan!

[A laugh]

Ahaha, I already have a birthday, thank you! I don't need you picking another one out for me.

Hardly an analogy.

[Excuse her as she's upset for a while longer... but then she just smiles mischievously.]

Well~ If we're not celebrating your birthday, then I insist that we at least celebrate our anniversary~

[Is that better?]

... I don't even remember when we met, to be honest.

[... No because this talk of anniversaries is kind of depressing him. >:]

I can take a guess. Matthew should remember if I don't.

[She waves a hand. She will find out and she will celebrate it.]

... Matthew knows when we met?

I remember how we met. He should remember the date.

[He rolls his eyes.]

The fact that he goes around memorizing these dates is a bit questionable. But like I said, I've already got a birthday. No need for a second one.

He remembers things better than I do, so I don't doubt how possible it is.

[She laughs.]

It's not your birthday, though. It's the day we met- which I think is worth celebrating.

[askldahsasjka this is the downside of talking to Saya—]

T-That... isn't necessary.

[And she's genuine too!]

Really? I believe it is.

A-And I'm saying that it isn't...!

[... He feels like he's had similar conversations to this before.]

So you... don't want to remember the day we met?

[pouting. :< ~~... yes, she's that determined to win this one~~]

[laskjlasjlda why do you do this to him D:]

... You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?

You know, despite what other people think, I don't think it's that easy to control how you feel.

[In other words- ... kinda.]

[Silence]

... So, something that reminds him of home and a failed defence against zombies, go to the biggest annoyance afterwards, right?

[Yeah, trying to change the subject—]

[A giggle. Now that he's not denying it, she will definitely celebrate their anniversary.]

Yep. The dagger's the reminder and the failed defense- then just tell him to go find the biggest annoyance that showed up after the zombies.

[Brb calling Matthew to tell him not to tell her—]

All right, got it.

... Do I even want to know what the biggest annoyance was?
