It was the night of June 8th. Aranea was trying to relax after a difficult day at work, when she bolted upright in her seat, eyes wide.
"Oh, fuck!" she said into her empty apartment. She forgot to do anything about Sidney's birthday. It was one of those days in the first week of June, and she definitely didn't remember which day, but she knew she'd missed it. Poor girl.
The next day Aranea took some time out to go shopping for a gift. She happened to find a pair of headphones that seemed like the ones Sidney used to use all the time, and that seemed like a nice enough gift. A return to normalcy, in a way. She hoped. Soon she had it bought, bagged, and ready to present as a gift.
By the time she had that and a birthday card, she knew classes would be over. So she stood outside the store and dialed her number. "Hey, Sidney, it's Aranea! Happy belated birthday! Do you want to do something to celebrate while I'm in town?"
