[She closes the door behind him, and now that he's in the room, it's easier to see that she's also set out some snacks on the desk, including a cupcake with very squished frosting but which has nonetheless had MISTA added to it in festive decoration.
She's forgotten about that for the moment, though, because she's got a sniffly boyfriend on her hands and that's always going to be the #1 priority in any given situation.
Her smile as she gives his arm a reassuring squeeze is sympathetic, but not too fretful.] Yeah, I had to do a bunch of math to make sure I didn't miss it. [The things we do for love, etc.] But I remembered so it's okay!
[It's comforting, that gentle squeeze on his arm. It reminds him to look at her, eyes wide and awed.]
You did math for me? [Damn. That's love.] You didn't have to do that. [Such sacrifice.]
[The card is still in his hand. He looks down at it again, finally taking all the details in. It's . . .]
You put strawberry shortcake. And . . . look at all the little guys. [Oh, the sniffles are gone now as he fondly touches the drawings of the Pistols, two high fives and a familiar little fight. His fingertips land on Sayori, on her bow. It's . . . cute. The whole thing is cute, and sweet. Is he seriously this lucky?]
[The distinct glow of pride lights up her expression.] Yeah!
[...]
Well— okay, I love you but it wasn't just for you. It's Dave's birthday today too! So it was twice as important to keep track!
[She can't believe two of her favorite boys share a birthday. Hopefully Alex and Ferran did not also have birthdays today without telling her.] I would've gotten a real cake but the merchants here aren't very friendly.
