Riri Nishikawa

A white frosting decoraated cake with red was placed on the porch table by Riri at the Nishkawa residence. Lilly, with her braided silver-blonde hair laid neatly brown sweater, sat at the porch table hung her gaze wistful as she looked at the cake. She wore her favorie pleated blue skirt. Every year, this day held the promise of her parents joining her birthday, this year especially they promised to return early. This year, she wouldn't just blow out candles in solitude.
