Today’s Max’s birthday, but all he can feel is the emptiness left by those who once cared for him. He sits by his old, worn bed, his gaze drifting to the window, longing for the faces he knew. But today, the door remains shut, and Max is left in silence, his heart aching.
Hours later, a new friend arrives, seeing Max’s sadness and bringing treats and kind words. They sit by his side, reminding him that he’s not truly alone. Max’s birthday transforms from a lonely memory into one filled with the kindness of strangers and the start of a new chapter.
