As they chat idly between themselves, a moment of silence elapses and Marco suddenly remembers something, eyes widening as a thought comes to mind.
“Oh---! Erm…. there was something I wanted to give you, actually,” he starts, fingers retreating into his pocket.

Marco flashes a nervous smile, ruffling his dark hair with his free hand.
“I know it isn’t until tomorrow, and this isn’t much but… happy birthday, Jean.”
