[She's certainly used to doing everything by herself...those last few lonely birthdays, she'd had no one to celebrate with her after all. If she wanted a cake, anything to mark the occasion at all, that would have to be something she pulled together herself.

And, well... even then, Mami rarely felt like celebrating.

As Lelouch appears, she gives him a bright smile (if she saw him sneak the present onto the pile, she wasn't going to say anything right away!)]

Ah, thank you...and thank you for coming, Lelouch-san, even if it was a little last minute. I promise you I am not always this disorganised.
