Each Step To You is Rafayel's 2026 birthday event, running March 1–8, 2026. Its callout reads 'His birthday is almost here! Prepare a special surprise for him. Dress up this custom-made plushie and send all your heartfelt wishes his way.' The event comprises a four-chapter storyline (chapters unlocking March 1, 3, 5 and the birthday itself on March 6) and the Treasured Threads tile-connecting mini-game, with currency spent at the Softshine Shop. The related Wish Pool is Duskbright Steps (plus Heartbound Wish), featuring the limited 5-Star birthday Memoria Rafayel: Duskbright Steps and the 4-Star Memories Bloom Gaze and Swimming Hearts. Reading the fourth chapter unlocks the 'Little Fishie' moment post; logging in between March 6–8 triggers the 'Where the Heart Leads' video call and a special Home interaction. A letter from Auntie Talia accompanies the event, and the Love Timeline entry 'The Fact That We Never Missed' is obtained on March 6.
