...so... Admiral...

H-Ha... Happy...

...birthday...

Hatsuyuki!? You came out just to say that...!?

yeah... It's a congratulations, see.

I'm still... a shut-in...

I'm so happy, Hatsuyuki... More than your words of thanks, but for you to make a rare departure from your room...

That's right, Hatsuyuki... you're taking the first step away from being a shut-in!

Right... next birthday (next year) then...
