I know I haven't forgotten a birthday...but my father made a point to celebrate it every year when it came up.

[And as a result, she always made a point to extend a small gesture to the Shinsengumi when their birthdays came up...when she found out what they were, anyway.]

But some people seem to want to keep them a secret. Though I can't imagine why.

[She brightly smiles.] Anyway, happy birthday! Do you do anything special, where you come from?
