When Anna came back to her senses, she heard a cheer, “SURPRISE!”

Anna froze for a moment before regaining her composure and saying, “Gee, | thought it was that serial killer! You guys scared the hell out of me.” Anna looked around for a moment. She knew some of them, while she had only met others a few times. However, she was touched when she noticed that everyone was smiling at her.
