[Jakurai has this wish that relationships weren't so short lived here. He also had never really seen himself...practically seeing three different people and all three of them being okay with that. Color him impressed that he even agreed to that. Megumi was certainly very important to him though, and he felt himself very tenderhearted for her in particular. They had cultivated this relationship from the very bottom. An accidental text turned into a working relationship....turned into, well, essentially a relationship.]

You say that with so little confidence.

[Jakurai knows, is aware, and is fine with not being Megumi's only. It's just how it is here, right? The design of this place makes multiple partners a thing.]

It is more than fine, of course. These feelings seem to have been with you in your heart for quite some time. Life is all about discovering what it means to follow your heart, your gut, and you head. If you feel this way for us, for me, then I want to...as your partner, give you the confidence to be able to say it proudly.

[He leans over, giving her a small kiss on her forehead. A rare occurrence for Jakurai to even be the one initiating the affection.]

As for the cake...you don't need to do any of that for me. Simply spending time with those I cherish is all I really need. My birthday has never been anything that important to me.
