Uh, can I help you with anything?

Everything looks so great.

Mina's gonna love it.

She has been surprising me lately.

Um, gotta keep our parents on their toes!

Ava: Oh, yeah?

In that case,

You know what,

I should go check on the birthday girl.

The guests are on their way.

Mina: Yes, I know that now.

Look, I'm not supposed to be here.

I need to be somewhere 'cause it's my birthday.

Diapers?

Formula?

He was giving the stuff back!

Ava: You know, when the wounded Zal,

the great warrior,

was abandoned by the world, he was lost.

Until the benevolent Simurgh found him,

and when no one else would help,

the Simurgh took Zal under her wing.

And when troubles came, the Simurgh still protected him

by giving him a piece of herself,

and Zal knew

that when he would set a copper feather to flame,

she would return to protect and to help.

But they're also an amazing reset button.

A time to reevaluate,

to pluck the best from the past,

and plan the best for the future.

Nimbly, courageously.

Not just accepting the new, but embracing it

as you build your own ever-changing,

ever-twisting adventure.

Your story.

Your legend.
