   Summary

   A 50th birthday is a significant milestone for a mortal.

   The werewolves and vampires are meeting up for Anton's 50th birthday barbecue. It should be a night of partying, karaoke, and friendly ribbing between the two groups; however, no matter how he tries to mask it, Viago is forlorn.

   His mind is burdened with anxieties stemming from his good friend's mortality. Anton, likewise, is seeming a bit brooding. As the birthday do goes on, both friends begin to spiral.

   Tonight may just be the night for confessions— for Anton, about how he feels, and for Viago... something from the past that he's done.
