The date was July 30th, 2021. Let's see what's happening in Negi Root City at Lillian & Associates' Goods. Lillian Flores (Layered Envy) was just cleaning up for the day.

Layered Envy: Hey, are you guys ready?

Hansel Strever (Patissier Hansel) and his twin sister Gretel (Patissier Gretel) just looked at her with sad faces.

Layered Envy: What's the matter?

Patissier Gretel: We want to go somewhere else before we go home.

Layered Envy: And where do you want to go?

Patissier Hansel: The cemetery. Our mother was buried there.

Layered Envy: You mean Eve?

Patissier Hansel: No, our birth mother Meta Salmhofer.

Layered Envy: Oh.

Patissier Gretel: Today would've been her birthday if she was still alive today.

Layered Envy: So that's why you 2 were sad all day.

Hansel and Gretel nodded.

Layered Envy: Alright, let's go.


Meanwhile, at the Negi Root City cemetery, Lillian looked at Meta's grave.

Layered Envy: "July 30, 1978-January 13, 2002". You 2 were only 1 when she was killed?

Patissier Gretel: Mm-hm.

Hansel laid a bouquet of flowers next to Meta's grave.

Patissier Hansel: We've been coming here every year on her birthday since we ran away from Eve and Adam Moonlit.

Layered Envy: So, Meta would've been 43 this year if she was still alive.

With one arm, she hugged Hansel and with the other, she hugged Gretel. They stayed like this for a few minutes, then they left the cemetery.


Judai: And that's a wrap for this birthday one-shot. Happy birthday, Meta Salmhofer, even though you're dead... I'll see you guys next time. Sayonara!
