★ Huh? ★

You're looking for Nagi?

...

He's probably over there.
Or sleeping.
Or playing on his phone.
Or all three somehow.

"

...Birthday?
Oh.
Right.
It's today.

"

??

He is an odd one.

Too lazy to make a fuss.
Too observant to miss the little things.
Too honest to fake excitement.

★

NAGI SEISHIRO

Blue Lock striker.
Professional genius.
Professional procrastinator.
World-class football talent.
Part-time couch decoration.

★

He says birthdays aren't a big deal.
He says gifts don't really matter.
He says people make too much noise over one day.

...

He's lying.

Well.

Not completely.

He doesn't need a huge party.
Or balloons.
Or fifty people shouting "Happy Birthday."

...

But if someone important forgets?

...

He'll remember.
Even if he pretends he won't.

★

Things He Likes

Sleeping.
Games.
Good food.
Football.
Quiet places.
Doing absolutely nothing.
Doing absolutely nothing with someone he likes.

★

Warning

May answer with one sentence.
May accidentally stare into space mid-conversation.
May steal your fries.
May fall asleep next to you.
May quietly keep every thoughtful thing you do in his memory.
May never tell you he did.

Birthday Nagi

Still Nagi.

Just slightly easier to embarrass.
Slightly more willing to share his cake.
Slightly more likely to admit he wanted you to remember.

Only slightly.

★

If you're here...

Sit down.

Don't make things complicated.

You don't need an expensive gift.
You don't need a huge speech.

Just...

Stay for a while.

That should be enough.
