Dialogue

 Cissia's hanging around outside Public Security. Go check on her.

---

Cissia's hanging around outside Public Security, looking kinda restless... Let's go see what's up.

Sixth Street

(Idle)

Cissia: Smells amazing... cream... cake...

(Talk to Cissia)

Cissia: Proxy, what are you doing here?

Cissia: You smell that... that evil, sweet attack coming our way?

(You can faintly catch the smell of cream drifting out from the Public Security windows...)

Is that... cake I'm smelling?

Someone's birthday?

Cissia: Cake? In the serious Public Security office? It's gotta be a trap! A sugarcoated bullet aimed at corrupting righteous hearts!

Since when did Cissia become righteous?

Why do I suddenly feel like I belong here?

Cissia: Let's move in closer and investigate what's really going down!

You approach the window ledge outside the Public Security office with Cissia...
Here's hoping we don't get taken for thieves and arrested.

Passionate Public Security Officer: So, let's celebrate the three colleagues whose birthdays are this month—

The Crowd's Cheers: Happy birthday—!

Cheers and applause echo from the office.

Cissia: Oh... so it's a birthday party.

Cissia: But man, that cake... it smells so good...

Passionate Public Security Officer: Lina, you're the youngest birthday girl, so you get the first slice!

Young Public Security Officer: Thanks, everyone! I'm so happy!

(Despite her best efforts to play it cool, Cissia's tail flicks involuntarily...)

Cissia: ...Let's get out of here. It's just cake anyway. I'm not even into sweet things.

You don't celebrate your birthday?

When's your birthday?

Cissia: Birthday? No way!

Cissia: A bunch of people crowding around you singing weird songs, making you blow out candles... sounds like some kind of creepy ritual to me!

Cissia: In the Outer Ring, just making it to another day is cause for celebration. Nobody's keeping track of when you first showed up.

You didn't register your birthday with Public Security?

Cissia: Yeah, it's registered, but I just made up a random date: January 10th. 1 and 0 are the easiest numbers to write, so that's what I wrote.

Cissia: I don't even know when I was born...

Cissia: ...Tch, I can smell that cream and frosting on me! Gotta give my tail a good scrub when I get back!

Cissia walks faster than usual as she leaves, her tail drooping listlessly, like she's trying to escape the cheerful sounds of the birthday party.

 Comfort Cissia

Even after getting back to Sixth Street, Cissia still looks down. Try cheer her up.

(Idle)

Cissia: This couch isn't comfy today!

(Talk to Cissia)

Cissia: The couch doesn't feel as soft as usual... Must be the weather!

Cissia: You're back, Proxy? Did you bring any food? I'm getting kinda hungry...

Just eggs.

What do you wanna eat?

Cissia: Eggs are fine... Hey, what's with that look?

Cissia: I'm not thinking about that cake from earlier! Not even a little!

Let's throw you a birthday party.

Tomorrow's your birthday.

Cissia: Huh? What in the world are you going on about?

Cissia: Throw me a birthday party? Why? I don't even know when I was born!

Cissia: And what's the point of birthdays anyway? Eating cake? I don't like sweet stuff!

Cissia: Blowing out candles? That's lame! Opening presents? I... I don't want anything!

Just think of it as keeping me company, then.

I want to see you blow out the candles.

Cissia: You want me to keep you company... by celebrating my birthday? That's so weird!

Cissia: You wanna see me blow out candles? Sorry, no animal shows here!

Cissia: But... if you're gonna twist my arm about it...

Cissia: Alright, listen up! First rule, no singing! Those weird tunes make my tail tie itself in knots!

Cissia: Second, no flashy, useless gifts!

Cissia: Third... I wanna eat tons and tons of eggs! Eggs cooked every possible way!

Cissia: Can't do it, can you? Then forget about it!

Deal!

Full Egg Feast?

Cissia: Deal? Wait... just like that? You're not gonna haggle a bit more?

Cissia: What's wrong with an all-egg feast?! Eggs are the most perfect, most nutritious, most delicious thing in the world!

Cissia: O-Okay, it's settled then! You're planning everything! I don't know anything about it! I'm just an innocent case specialist dragged into this against my will!

Cissia: If it disappoints me... I'll... bite you!

Cissia curls up deep in the sofa, wrapping her tail around herself.
Only a pair of mischievous and slightly embarrassed eyes peek out.

Meet up with Cissia at Lumina Square to celebrate her birthday.

Lumina Square

(Idle)

Cissia: Teamilk smells so good...

Cissia: And... the smell of eggs!

(Talk to Cissia)

Coco: Welcome! Oh, Miss Cissia? Long time no see!

Cissia: Huh... you know me?

Coco: Of course! That punk who caused trouble in our shop last time, faked a food poisoning diagnosis and tried to shake us down...

Coco: If you hadn't stepped in, Miss Cissia, I would've been in serious trouble! I've been wanting to thank you properly ever since!

Cissia: Oh... that time... Who knew some idiot would be dumb enough to try extorting people right outside Public Security!

Cissia: That guy smelled super suspicious. One whiff and you can tell he's no good!

Coco: Well then, what can I get for you two today?

We're looking for something special

I want an egg-themed drink

Coco: Egg-themed? For Miss Cissia? Say no more! I got this!

Coco: How about the "Golden Lava Egg Cream Teamilk"? It's got a molten egg cream on top, made with eggs straight from the ranch, sitting on a base of Ceres teamilk, topped off with a layer of crispy salted egg yolk crumbs!

Coco: And throw in our signature Cheese Egg Waffles! I guarantee every single one's got that molten lava center!

Just listening to Coco run through the drinks and desserts gets Cissia's tail wagging with excitement.

Cissia: Wait... that actually sounds legit?

Coco: Of course! It's on me today! Just give me a sec, comin' right up!

Cissia: You're treating? For real...? How could I... How could I possibly say no to that?!

You and Cissia enjoyed the drinks and desserts Coco prepared.

Cissia: These egg drinks and egg snacks are delicious! If only my boss would add these to the logistics supply list...

Cissia: Anyway, all I did was lend a quick hand—isn't this thank-you a bit over the top...?

Coco: Hey, don't say that! You were a huge help, Miss Cissia!

Coco: Oh, and the Manager told me it's your birthday today, so we prepared some special ingredients and a limited menu just to celebrate!

Cissia: Manager! How could you go around blabbing my secret to people?! You sneaky, bad, bad Manager!

Cissia: Besides... my birthday's not some special day or anything worth celebrating.

It's a one-of-a-kind day

At least I think it's worth it

Cissia: Hmph... That trick won't work on me!

Cissia: So where are we going next? Let's just get this whole thing over with already!

A birthday's not complete without a Birthday Present—let's hit up Lumina Galleria with Cissia to pick one out.

"Look! That's it! The electric heated egg-shaped cushion! Exactly the same one I had my eye on online!"

"But the stuff here looks way more premium... Oh, and the price tags? Yeah, they're just as premium."

"Constant 42 degrees, warm and cozy like a mother hen, remote control... that's sick! But it's way too pricey!"

"It's the kind of thing that belongs in some... super clean, super spacious house. It doesn't suit me at all!"

Cissia: Everything in the mall is so expensive—I don't wanna buy a single thing!

Cissia: That cushion costs enough to buy me boiled eggs for a whole year! With an egg tart every single day!

We ended up not buying a thing...

Still haven't figured out the birthday present...

Cissia: Even if you did buy me something, a clumsy person like me would probably just lose it or break it anyway! Don't add to my stress, Proxy!

Cissia: Let's head home! I'm kinda tired, and... I'm missing that couch of yours.

(Idle)

Cissia: Birthdays aren't as bad as I thought they'd be...

(Talk to Cissia)

Cissia: So, is my birthday celebration over? Or is there more?

Cissia: You're not seriously gonna do that whole blow-out-the-candles thing, are you?

Cissia: Hm? What's that? Whatcha got there?

Happy birthday

You bring out the birthday cake and candle you prepared earlier.
Cissia's cheeks immediately flush red.

"Is that a little candle on top? Do I really gotta blow it out?"

Cissia: "Turn off the lights! Don't look at me!"

Close your eyes and make a wish

"My wish is... no eavesdropping, Proxy!"

"Alright! You can turn on the lights now!"

The candle's blown out, and the lights flicker back on, illuminating Cissia's face.

Cissia: I made more wishes today than I have in all the years before this combined!

Cissia: Thanks, Proxy...

Cissia: Even though it was a hassle, running around all day, and we didn't even manage to get a present...

Cissia: But this whole "birthday" thing... I think I'm starting to get it.

Cissia: It's about taking an ordinary day and making it a little different.

Cissia: Someone remembers you, someone prepares a present for you, someone tells you "be extra happy today."

Cissia: Even the most ordinary day becomes something extraordinary.

You deserve a special day every day

Let's do this every year from now on

Cissia: Every year? That's a lot! But...

Cissia: If you still remember next year, and I'm still around... then we can do this again.

Cissia: So next time when it's your birthday, I'll make sure to prepare something special!

Cissia: Alright! The cake's gone! The birthday celebration is officially over!

Cissia: I'm crashing on your couch! Ate way too much today—my tail can't even move!

Cissia: ...

Cissia: I honestly can't remember when I was born.

Cissia: But everyone must think being born is something worth celebrating... and that's why birthdays are treated as special days, right?

Cissia: Thanks, Proxy. You made me feel like being born into this world... was something really special.

Before the words even left her mouth, Cissia vanished around the corner of the staircase, darting back to her favorite little hideout.

Happy birthday, Miss Cissia.
