I...

[ It feels silly, now that he's trying to actually put words to it. But he only hesitates a moment. ]

... Today's my birthday. Which is tacky to announce, I know. I mean, I'm actually glad I don't have any parties to attend today or anything like that, but I... I guess I feel like I need to say it out loud. To someone. Mark it as important without making a big deal of it.

I figured maybe you'd understand.
