Wish For You
Before moving out, a man hastily prepares for a surprise party solely. He decorates the room with baloons, lights the candle, sets the dishes..., and when he barely finishes before midnight, he calls in his companion with a bouquet of roses in his hand...
However, nobody appears. He leaves the room to invite the guest in, returning with a cinerary urn in his hands.
It was the birthday of his most beloved person whose cremation had already been conducted, and he was desperate to celebrate it alone together.
