[Hajime is trying to measure himself by standing up against a door frame and marking his height with a pencil. It... isn't working very well, because it's more of a two person job]

[Phone]

W-what do you think happens at home, while we're here? Is time passing? If it isn't... do birthdays here count? I'm gonna be nine soon. I feel older. I'm definitely taller. But... does it mean anything?

[She'll take it and mark his height on the door frame.]

Alright, you can move now.

[splashpuppy]

[He turns around to look at the mark]

I am taller, aren't I?

[motheringnation]

[Looks at it and nods.]

You know what, I think you are.

[splashpuppy]

Does that mean I'm really getting older, then?

[motheringnation]

I think so.

When is your birthday?

[splashpuppy]

On Sunday!

[motheringnation]

I'll have to make a cake....

[Thinking.]

Is there anything you'd like for your birthday?

[splashpuppy]

Mr. Gakupo said he wanted to have a party, that sounds like fun. Himeno had one for me last year. And definitely cake!

[motheringnation]

[Smiles and ruffles his hair.]

What kind of cake?
