It's not at all unbelievable that the MC would forget his/her birthday given everything that's going on and I would not be surprised to learn that Atlas has never (or not since they were still with their parents) celebrated his/her birthday, so I would imagine to Atlas her/her birthday is a day like any other.

I actually forgot my birthday once. I didn't forget it altogether, because I vaguely recall remembering a week or so early that my birthday was coming (hard not to when my sister's birthday is literally less than a week before mine and my family is very big on celebrating birthdays on birthdays), but I woke up on my birthday and didn't remember it was my birthday until someone wished my happy birthday and that was without all the stress and pure information overload that the MC has been on lately. This was back when I was ten or eleven or thereabouts and I got walkie talkies for that birthday and possibly my neon green hip-pack, both of which I can probably locate if were to go looking through my stuff long enough.
