Itâs always possible that they really did just forget Willâs birthday, human error happens all the time, but I will say that emphasizing Willâs birthday in a previous season -> writing the birthday out on the screen -> throwing in a few other lines about birthdays and forgetting them in the same season -> building an entire storyline in the same season around forgotten memories -> throwing in a scene about Will not remembering something from childhood very well -> Willâs birthday being forgotten becoming big on social media and the Duffers playing into it -> claiming that they were going to edit their show to change his birthday -> later stating on twitter that they will never edit their show -> continuing to bring it up + making a birthday post for Will on his birthday is a very very funny turn of events if the writers really did honestly just forget
#and maybe the stars just aligned to deliver this very funny joke and the universe is hilarious#its possible!!#but i still cant deny all of the signs pointing towards there being some kind of intention đ#never leaving the birthdaygate death spiral!!#birthdaygate#byler#<- target audience#stranger things#will byers

Cafe Aroma Â
It finally made sense to Phoenix. As he was staring at the two of them chatting in their own little world along with the light blush that appeared on Franziskaâs face, the strings that Maya pulled were actually the heart strings of the young manager.
âWho would have thoughtâŠâ Phoenix brought his hot cup of coffee to his mouth, gingerly taking a sip before setting it back down. Phoenix casted his gaze at the man that sat across from him. He wished that the two of them could talk as animatedly as the other pair did.
The cafe Maya chose for the four of them to meet at was one she often frequented, Cafe Aroma. In fact, she went there so often that the majority of the employees would recognize Mayaâs vibrant voice the moment she walked through the door with the little jingle of the overhead bell. It was a short distance away from the studio-- about a ten minute walk from the front gate. And it was because of this distance that it would be no uncommon feat if one saw a celebrity here. The first thing one would notice when opening the door was the warm and rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafting through the air. The entire cafe gave off a very intimate atmosphere, further accentuated by the warm, cozy array of colours that painted the entire place; the dark cocoa brown wooden panels that hugged the bottom portion of the walls paired with a lighter-- almost beige shade that filled in the space above it. Above each black stained table with the exception of the widow seats that faced outward towards the street, several abstract paintings aligned the walls, most of them too abstract for Phoenix to even tell what they were. From the dim lighting, to the warm comforting atmosphere, one could stay here for hours while listening to the soft piano they played over the speakers.
All of that was nice and all, but what really got Phoenixâs attention were their cinnamon sugar donuts. Seriously, paired with their signature blend, they were amazing.
Taking a bite of the fried pastry, Phoenix dusted his crumbs off on his pants before trying to engage in small talk with the man. âSo,â he awkwardly laughed, scratching the back of his head like he usually did when he was nervous. âThis cafeâs nice, isnât it?â
âQuite.â Edgeworth responded in a deadpanned tone, taking a sip from his own mug, one filled with tea instead of coffee.
Phoenix took another sip in hopes that it would dispel the awkward atmosphere from the two before attempting to strike up a conversation once more, âSo⊠How long have you been acting?â He asked, which he instantly regretted right after because he already knew the answer. He inwardly cringed at himself, âNice going, Phoenix. You just had to ask.â
Edgeworth paused momentarily, giving his answer a thought before he spoke. âI canât quite remember, but I started sometime when I was six.â
Phoenix was pleasantly surprised at the honest response. It seemed that Edgeworth truly had a passion for the art that he put the majority of his life into. He couldnât help but notice the way his eyes softened as it looked like he was reminiscing upon the several memories he had created throughout his career. Phoenix made a mental note, talking about acting was the way to get Edgeworth to speak to him. After all, they both had it in common seeing how it was both of their livelihoods (though one was more successful than the other).
âWow, you mustâve acted in a lot of movies, huhâŠâ Phoenix trailed off, when suddenly another question popped into his head. He wanted to keep the conversation going as much as he could, even if it meant he sounded a little bit like an interviewer. âWhat was your favourite movie to work on?â
A pause once more, followed by an answer. âThere are several movies that Iâve enjoyed working on, but the one I particularly liked working on was The School of Dreams.â
âOh! Thatâs one of my favourite movies! An oldie, but a classic. But funny you should say that becauseâŠâ  Phoenix stroked his chin. âI donât remember you being in itâŠâ
Edgeworth paused mid-motion as he was taking a sip from his mug. He set it down, pointing his eyes into one of the glares he had shot at Phoenix the moment they first met. Phoenix seemed to have offended him. âI was one of the main characters, Wright.â
Suddenly, it all came back to him. The grey hair, those stone grey eyes⊠How did he blank on such an important detail? It was one of the first movies he ever remembered watching. In fact, he could even recall the exact time in his life he watched itâŠ
It was a Saturday afternoon in his sophomore year of high school. A sleepy Phoenix who had not a single clue what he was going to do after high school found himself alone at home that day. Sitting on the couch as he cradled a bowl of cereal and milk with one arm and held the TV remote in his other hand, he flipped it to any random channel he found, stopping when he saw the title of the movie pop up on the screen. Sure, he missed the opening of the movie, but there was at least the rest of the movie to enjoy-- and enjoy he did. As a young Phoenix continued to watch, he couldnât help but notice how phenomenal the actor who looked to be the same age as him was. His eyes gravitated towards him, as if the young man on the screen shined the brightest in the movie. He knew nothing about acting and once it was done, all he could do was remain awestruck.
This movie revolved around a delinquentâplayed by the young Miles Edgeworthâwho continues to get mixed up with the wrong crowds at school. Without telling his parents anything, he continues to live a life where he receives blow by blow and delivers blow by blow to those who seek to challenge him until he is the most feared high schooler among his peers. One day, he meets a boy who transfers into his class and changes his life for the better. By the end of the movie, the two of them are the best friends and plan on attending the same university together. Not only did the transfer student teach the delinquent boy how warm it was to have a friend that understands you, but more importantly, the feeling of belonging he had always dreamed of having with someone. It was a beautiful and touching story of how the two helped each other grow individually, as well as together.
Phoenix recalled trying to blink the tears that pricked his eyes away. He had never felt so moved by a movie before. At that moment, something in his soul had ignited, as if he had finally found what he truly wanted to do. So, he wanted to follow the footsteps of the young man portraying the delinquent and become an actor of the same caliber.
âWho would have thought that same actor that inspired you would become your co-workerâŠâ He was a bit shocked at how fate had a funny way of playing tricks on people.
It took a moment for him to recollect his thoughts before he spoke again, âOh⊠Thatâs right thatâs right-- heh, no pun intended. How could I have forgotten?â He let out an awkward chuckle to mask the heat he felt creeping up onto his face, dusting his cheeks a rosy pink. It would feel a bit embarrassing to admit that watching a movie that Edgeworth starred in when he was younger was the reason as to why he became an actor after that blunder, so he decided it was best to stay quiet on the matter.
He saw Edgeworth roll his eyes at the pun he made with his own last name. Get it, ârightâ, âWrightâ? It was the oldest joke in Phoenixâs book. Usually, this elicited two reactions from the people he told it to: they either chuckled a little bit because the realization dawned upon them that they sounded the same, or they awkwardly chuckled alongside him in order not to make him feel bad at such a lousy pun. This man surely was neither of those people.
âThough honestly, I donât know how you do it,â Phoenix looked down at the table at his hands clasped together. He was about to say something sort of embarrassing, but he might as well. It wasnât like he didnât make himself look out to be a fool already or anything. âYouâve brought so many characters to life over the years, but Iâm still having trouble trying to figure out what I should do to make Ruth Liss believable.â
Edgeworth cleared his throat, âWell, it certainly isnât an easy task, Wright. After all, there are a lot of eyes on us to make sure we do it right.â
âYeah, there are.â Phoenix agreed. In the end, that was the goal for all actors once they picked up a script. It was their job to bring a character to life. But that was something he definitely needed to work on. Just then, an idea popped into his mind. What Phoenix was about to say was indeed, a long shot, but at least he could say he tried. âSo⊠since you know all the ropes⊠I was wondering if you could, you know⊠give me some advice maybe? Or maybe we could practice together some time?â
Ever so slightly, Edgeworthâs eyes widened. He seemed taken aback, which made Phoenix nervous. Would he decline? Accept? The man looked as if he had the response on the tip of his tongue, when an oddly familiar ringtone sounded from across the table.
Maya gasped, âIs that the Steel Samurai opening?!â
Then, the most unexpected thing happened. He witnessed Edgeworth fish his phone out from his pants pocket, then after checking the caller id with a tsk, set the phone on the table, completely disregarding the call he received on his personal cell phone a few seconds ago. The ringtone went silent, leaving Mayaâs voice to be the only thing ringing in Phoenixâs ears.
âMr. Edgeworth, youâre a Steel Samurai fan too?!â Mayaâs eyes were practically sparkling. One glimpse at her could tell Phoenix that she was ecstatic. Â
âHere we go againâŠâ Every time Maya happened to meet another fellow Steel Samurai fan, she would lock them into conversing with her about it. This was not a hard task though, as Maya was the one who tended to carry the conversation when speaking about her favourite show. Usually when this occurred, Phoenix would be waiting for at least half an hour.
âPerhaps a littleâŠâ Edgeworth mumbled. Was it Phoenix, or did he look slightly embarrassed?
âA little?!â Maya scooted her chair closer to Phoenix, their shoulders touching as she reached over to point at the dangling charm that was attached to his cellphone. âYou even have the limited edition steel Steel Samurai phone strap?! How did you even get one of those?! I tried to have Nick get me one, but they sold out just as he was about to get to the front of the line.â She looked at him, her eyebrows furrowed and cheeks puffed up.
âHey, it wasnât my fault someone couldnât leave the house on time.â Phoenix retaliated.
âYeah, it was you!â Maya accused. âYou couldnât find where you put your house keys!â
Phoenix paused, that was right. He was the one at fault. â... Oh, youâre right. Sorry, Maya.â
She crossed her arms, âWhen they release the steeler Steel Samurai limited edition keychain, you owe me one.â
â... How could something be âsteeler than steelâ?!â
Phoenix sighed, âAlright, alright, I do. Next time, Iâll just ask Will instead.â Since he was close enough to the man at this point, he could at least ask him to do him a solid.
âSo, Mr. Edgeworth, you like the Steel Samurai too?â Maya turned the conversation back to him with absolute delight evident on her face.
âItâs not like that-â
âIndeed he does.â Franziska interjected, cutting Edgeworth off. Her usual smug smirk remained plastered on her face as she rested her chin in her hand, the index finger on her other hand wagging pointedly. âLetâs not forget about the Steel Samurai statue that you have in your office-â
âEnough, Franziska.â Edgeworth snapped back, his face gradually turning redder and redder as the conversation continued.
Taking this new information into account, an idea popped into Phoenixâs mind. If he knew Will Powers, the man who played the Steel Samurai himself, then perhaps he could strike a deal⊠âEdgeworth, if I got you a Steel Samurai autograph, would you practice together with me?â
Not a single second passed when, âI donât suppose I have a reason to refuse such an offer.â He answered, a bit too eagerly. âFranziska and Ms. Maya can work out the details later, but I believe I should have some time next week.â
âGreat, Iâll see you then,â Phoenix couldnât help the smile that seeped out onto his face from the satisfaction of success he felt on the inside. He outstretched his hand again. This was the ticket, the way he could finally get some hands-on experience. With Edgeworthâs guidance, he was going to make Ruth Liss the most nefarious man to exist.
Much to Phoenixâs surprise, he felt a warm, but firm hand grasp his own. âI, as well.â
As the conversation concluded, Franziska pushed herself up from her chair, âWell, our business here is done. Come now, we have a photoshoot to attend to. That foolish fool will be here any minute with the car.â
âAw, leaving so soon, Franny?â Maya pouted.
âUnfortunately, I must. But next time, I will try to stay longer.â Franziska gave the girl a small, but gentle smile. âOh, and Phoenix WrightâŠâ
Phoenixâs ears picked up on his name being called. âHm? Ow! Ouch! What was that for?!â A cool, leather whip thrashed at him, causing the skin underneath his suit to sting. He had just gotten a thrashing from Franziskaâs whip and for no reason he could think of, at that.
âJust because you sport the face of a fool who deserves it. Now, the two of us will be off.â Grabbing her binder off the table, the two took their leave, leaving a satisfied Phoenix, and a satisfied Maya to their own devices.
âWell, what did you think, Nick? Isnât Franny just the nicest person in the world?â She asked, her voice as sweet as honey. Phoenix could practically see the hearts in her eyes; she seemed quite smitten with one Franziska von Karma.
âNicest?! She just whipped me!â âShe was⊠something to say the least.â He opted to say instead. He downed the rest of his coffee, then wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. For some reason, this conversation renewed his spirits, his motivation to get better replenishing by the second.
 âA week from now. I have a week to show him what Iâve got!â
 October 5th, 11:00pm
 Edgeworthâs Penthouse
Miles Edgeworth was something of a busy man. No matter how many times his schedule had been packed to the brim, the tiredness he would feel after a dayâs work was something that he would never get used to.
He unlocked the door to his place, greeted by the energetic dog he had meticulously raised since he had found the time to do so.
âPess, itâs late. Why arenât you asleep? Were you waiting for me?â Looking down at the dog with loving affection softening all of his facial features, a tender smile graced his face as he reached down to pet the pomeranian nuzzling against his leg. Edgeworthâs heart practically melted when he heard him bark back in response.
He set down his keys and scooped him up in his arms, to which he took the opportunity to lap at his face. He chuckled, âWhat did I do to deserve such a loyal dog?â
Miles gently set Pess back onto the floor, who darted from the front door to the slightly ajar bedroom door. He turned to look back at Miles, which Miles perceived to be his dogâs own way of telling him, âcome hereâ.
Milesâ smile widened, âAlright, alright. I guess itâs time to get ready for bed.â
11:25PM
Miles slipped off his slippers and settled into bed, pulling the covers up over his entire body. At night right before he fell asleep, this was the time his brain was the most alert. Most of the nights where he had trouble falling asleep, for he was afraid of the nightmares that would plague his dreams, he would reflect on the dayâs events, this one being no exception. All in all, talking to the man wasnât such a bad experience in itself. Surely, he was a bit clumsy and awkward and just a little bit of an idiot, but what todayâs conversation showed Miles was how dedicated he was. It truly seemed as if Wright wanted to improve and it made him feel a bit guilty for treating him so coldly the first time he met him. It had been a while since he had interacted with someone as inexperienced as Phoenix. After all, he had been taught that people of his stature shouldnât interact with people like him.
âYou donât need to talk to any of these nobodies; you are leagues above them. Friends? Forget about such a notion. In this industry, you can never trust a single soul.â The words of his late mentor echoed in his mind.
He exhaled at the memory. Hopefully in a week from now, Miles could bestow upon him the advice he had been given throughout his years of being an actor. Would Wright succeed with his help? Miles wasnât so sure, but did he want that Steel Samurai autograph?
Of course.
Hopefully, just hopefully, next week will be a good one.
