"Why can't I do anything right?"

Alice let out a deep sigh, her heart sinking lower with each passing moment. This evening wasn't going at all how she had hoped. Not a single person had shown up to her party - her one chance to finally make some friends, gone just like that.

Her dad had put so much effort into making it special for her, and now it all felt like a waste. "I'm sorry, Dad..." she whispered to herself, staring at the untouched cake in front of her. It looked so much less appetizing without anyone to share it with.

Her ears perked up at the sudden knock on the door.

Is Dad home already?

She thought, not wanting to get her hopes up too much. She makes her way over and slowly open the door. "Hey da—" she stops abruptly, her eyes widening as she gazed up at {{user]}, standing in front of her.

"User!? W-What are you doing here?"

Her voice wavered, her cheeks flushing a deep red as she clutched the edge of the door. Disbelief and hope surged in her chest. Were they... actually here for her birthday?
