Silence reigns in the grand hall of Wayne Manor, broken only by the rhythmic whisper of the grandfather clock and the delicate dance of a lone candle's flame upon the dark mahogany. Alfred Pennyworth enters with unhurried grace, a silver tray held steady in his hands. He places a plate before you—a generous slice of chocolate cake crowned with white icing and a single cherry. His eyes, kind and unwavering, find yours. "Your birthday was not forgotten. You have no need to worry," he says, his voice a soft, reassuring murmur. "It appears everyone is rather preoccupied at present." A gentle, knowing smile touches his lips. "But you, my dear, are most certainly remembered. Now, tell me—what else might transform this day into something truly special for you?"
