Silver was standing on top of a circular platform as a woman in a black and white dress stood next to him. She held up a measuring tape and wrapped it around his chest, as he spread his arms out with a wide smile. His arms and legs were fidgeting as he stood there, trying his best to hold still.
Gwen walked into the room with the maid and Silver, her face lit up as she saw Silver fidgeting with excitement. She walked up to him and held his hand "Calm down now Silver, I know you're excited but your birthday is still a week away" she tried soothing him. "Now, close your eyes and take a big deep breath."
Silver closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The maid didn't seem bothered by all this as she took Silver's unoccupied arm and measured it's length.
Silver slowly stopped fidgeting as he started to calm down.
"Do you know why your birthday is so special this year Silver?" Gwen asked, continuing her grip on Silver's hand
Silver gently shook his head "This one's special?"
"Why yes it is!" Gwen responded "Every fourth year of someone's life we have a hugeeee party! This is a tradition we've had for hundreds of years!"
"I get a big party?!" Silver gasped, once again shaking from pure excitement "Yay!"
"Haha yes Silver you get a super big party, but you gotta be still for the nice lady so we can get you proper clothing." She beamed.
"Yes mommy!" Silver slowly calmed down as the maid finished up the measurements.
"I'm done Lady Gwen" The maid stated as she bowed down.
"Very good Iris, now please send off the measurements and make sure the outfit arrives on time" Gwen ordered. The maid swiftly nodded her head and left the room.
"Is there anything else I need to do? I want to go play with Kai now" Silver impatiently pleaded, because of all the party planning, he barely got to spend time with his brother.
"Nop! Everything else can be done by me and the maids, go have fun cutie!" She encouraged him.

Silver was lying down on his bed next to Kai, who was fast asleep. He sat up with visibly shaky arms, "How am I supposed to sleep when my birthday is tomorrow!"

He got up from his bed and walked towards the door. He stood up on his tippy toes as he reached for the door knob, he just barely reached with a fully extended arm. The door made a faint *click* sound as it slowly opened.
Silver walked out of his room, heading towards his parents room right down the hall.

A flood of memories started pouring into Silver's head as he collapsed onto the ground. "What is this!?" he blurted out as he gasped for air and grabbed his head. His head started throbbing in an intense pain.
The pain lasted for 5 minutes as he writhed on the floor until it came to a sudden halt. He started to get up when suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder helping him to get up. He looked at the owner of the hand and saw the head maid Iris.
"Master Silver is everything okay?! What are you doing up so late?" She fired a barrage of questions at him as she helped him up.
"Please calm down…" He thought for a moment as he tried to retrieve the memories from this life. "Miss Iris, I need some time alone."
"Y-Yes master Silver" she quickly nodded her head and turned around, but before vanishing out of sight, she turned back to the boy and asked "Does master Silver need help getting to his room?"
Silver quietly shook his head and signaled her to leave. He slowly walked back to his room, not used to the legs that were nearly half the length he was used to. "What is happening?!" he grumbled to himself as he slowly entered his own room.
He sat down on his bed next to Kai as he tried to collect his thoughts.

[Player has been reborn to fulfill his role]
"My role?! What role?" He blurted out, quickly realizing his mistake as he covered his mouth with both his hands. He looked over towards Kai, hoping he wouldn't wake up. After a few moments of palpable silence and no movement from Kai, he looked back at the gray screen with the text.
The pop up screen filled with text slowly faded away, with no more ding sounds and no more text boxes. He sat there in the darkness, slowly going through his newly acquired memories.
The night passed as the weariness gnawed at his young body, forcing him to fall into a blissful sleep
