The Matthews family's grand scheme robbed Ryan of the chance to celebrate Aiden's eighteenth birthday.
Alain's lies ruined Aiden's nineteenth birthday.
And then, Aiden passed away before his twentieth birthday arrived.
For the past nineteen years, Ryan only had the pink scarf to accompany him during difficult nights.
Now, Aiden was finally back at his side.
There was no way Ryan would forget Aiden's birthday.
"Today is... the 20th of July?" Aiden was filled with doubt. "But today is..."
"It is already past midnight," Ryan squeezed Aiden's cheek lovingly. "It is the 20th of July, three minutes past midnight."
"Oh."
It was really his birthday. His twenty-fifth birthday.
Ryan covered Aiden's eyes and whispered into his ear, "My love, you should make a wish."
"A wish? Hmm..."
He had none.
Aiden was not trying to be modest when he thought that way.
What he was able to obtain, he already obtained.
What he was unable to obtain, was lost forever with no chance of coming back.
