[ Some would say Death's birthday is December 31st, but that day is...well, a bit touchy for Ryoji. Does he want the day he chooses to celebrate his life, such as it is, to be the same as the day he asked SEES whether or not they would kill him?

He's...running into that issue with a lot of the days he's debating. ]

Not...exactly. I had little sense of self beyond my purpose, so my memories of that time are...hazy. I believe it was in December, though.

[ If not ten years to the day that he recalled his memories on the Moonlight Bridge. ]

Do you find that odd? That I want to choose a birthday, I mean.

How else will you keep track of the passage of your life, if you do not choose one?

[ That is to say, she doesn't find it that weird. It's practical, at least. ]

Even the strictest of warriors need things to look forward to and celebrate. Otherwise, fighting would have no meaning.

[ So for her, it's something of a landmark, is it? Each birthday passed is another year lived, for a warrior. He may not consider himself one in the strictest sense, but he would certainly consider it an accomplishment if he lives to see more than a year in this form. ]

So it's important for you to celebrate yourselves. I like looking at it that way...in that case, I'll chose a day I won't come to regret later.

[ Not any of those dates fraught with turmoil, caused by himself to his friends. ]

Malkuth suggested January 1st, so...maybe that's the way to go. A day that means new life.
