Marco and OTA
Marco was super surprised by the party. He hadn't really even given his birthday much thought. He would have been happy to let it come and go without comment, because he didn't feel much like celebrating.
But Star had gone to a lot of trouble to set it up, and to get him there, so he was at least going to try to have a good time. He looked around at all the creatures and everything and he couldn't help but smile. It didn't ease the heartache he felt, but it helped him feel a little better in spite of himself.
