Berry raised his hand and touched the mirror, wanting to see if he was actually dreaming. The coldness of the mirror against his fingertips was enough evidence that this was reality, but Berry still found it hard to believe. He remembered how he had told everyone to bring him his parents whenever they talked to him about his birthday; that was the only way he could celebrate to the fullest. So far, none of them, no one in his family, had fulfilled his wish, yet Stuart… Stuart had done the impossible. Though Stuart brought back only one of them, even though not directly, it was more than enough for Berry. He felt the emotions welling up within him, and his chest tightened as tears gathered in his eyes. This was the ultimate birthday gift.
