The day of entering adulthood is an extraordinary and important moment for every human being. In the country where Sid was born and lived, the magical frontier is eighteen. The eighteenth birthday was therefore an exceptionally important moment that most young people spent in the company of their friends or family, celebrating one of the most important days in their lives.
But Sid spent the day very quietly. First school, then work. Nobody gave him birthday wishes because nobody knew or remembered about them, or even if they knew and remembered, nobody cared about them. The shy Sid, who had been a victim of domestic violence all his life, didn't have many friends, so he couldn't expect gifts or wishes from them. His father never remembered the day his son was born, so the only gift Sid could get from him each year were more hits.
