If it's a cave like what you're picturing, we haven't found its mouth. There's likely more to the island than what's physically accessible to us right now-- the landscape is malleable and (supposedly) responds to the emotions of those of us who inhabit it. The "desire system" again.
So could it be that you just wanted a visitor on your birthday?
I'm not particularly fond of excessive celebration for my birthday, actually.
[But he's sure that Natori can imagine that his hangers-on do it anyway. Gee, life is just so hard when you have so many colleagues and family trying to celebrate you, huh, Natori??]
In any case, if it's a matter of forcing a secret path to open, then investigation is in order. I shall see to making some rounds.

What.
[But shortly after, before Matoba would have time to get a response back, another doll appears:]
A distortion of the tradition of giving gifts to celebrate a birthday? You've kept living, so here is the present?
[Or is this another part of their fixation of the 'health of the residents'?]

「you will fulfill the contract by living」
Is that sufficient for you?
By the by, I found it rather easy to paralyze.
