Hana can fix her

Even Kosuzu, Aunn, and the inaba had all woken up from their naps and joined in the singing, which only helped to make her face redder as she smiled stupidly, the emotions she felt earlier all but gone. This was the first time she’s ever had a party like this after all, birthdays had always been a small and often unpleasant affair for her. On the best ones father could whisk her and Aunn away and walk around the village together before getting mother drunk enough to pass out early on oni sake. On the rest…

Hana’s thoughts were cut off just as the painful memories threatened to resurface as she felt a hand on her shoulder, she glanced up and just as sure as she heard her silken voice she saw her dainty and gloved hand perch itself like a bird . As everyone reached the last line of ‘happy birthday to you, dear Hana. Happy birthday to you~!’ she couldn’t help but resist letting her teeth gleam in the light as her face lit up like the midday sun as those terrible memories were blown away. Even though this party was far from tranquil Hana was, for this moment, at peace.

As the song ended and Alice approached with the wide serving knife, Hana couldn’t help salivate at the sight of such a delicacy being carved just for her. Today was a first for many things that she learned growing up others took for granted. In that moment she felt resolute as she gave a ‘thank you’ to Alice, and everyone there with a smile unencumbered by the reality of the situation. That smile wasn’t returned in full; they still weren’t at ease around mama. As Alice gave her pick of the cake and served Hana a generous slice there was a small hope, a hope that today won’t turn out like so many of her birthdays in the past, that despite everything those she loved would play nice and that mama would in turn.

Just once she wanted a day where she could smile surrounded by people she loved, that would be a taste that made even the cake pale in sweetness.

kek, I bet Yukari would just appear; say "Happy Birthday!", kiss her cheek and leave without another word, simply to troll Hana -- though a wholesome birthday party without drama would be nice too, so Yukari just popping in at unusual times without anyone noticing just to mess with Hana?
Up to you!
