This is my first new year's day, now that I think about it. People make resolutions around this time of year, right? What are yours?

I'll be cheering you on, then.

Text

[alephbet]

Thank you, April. You're a good friend.

Text

[technologic]

It's nothing, I'm just glad to help and stuff.

Plus it'll be fun watching you dance.

Text

[alephbet]

You're welcome to join me.

Text

[technologic]

Really? But I can't exactly dance well.

Text

[alephbet]

It would still be fun!

Text

[technologic]

Well, if you don't mind me screwing up a lot, then I don't see why I shouldn't.

Text

[alephbet]

All right. So we'll go dancing together.

Text

[technologic]

Right! But if I step on your feet, you can't say I didn't warn you.

Text

[alephbet]

I understand. I'm properly prepared.

Text

[technologic]

Awesome.

So does this mean one of my resolutions now is something like dancing with you?

Text

[alephbet]

If you want it to be.

Text

[technologic]

Well, dancing is good exercise and doing it with someone else will encourage me not to chicken out on it.

Text

[alephbet]

I would be happy to keep you motivated on your resolutions. However I can help.

Text

[technologic]

Thank you, Aleph. And it's the same back to you.

[There's a pause before another message follows.]

And I think I've managed to think up another resolution too.

Text

[alephbet]

What is it?

Text

[technologic]

It's not exactly a cheery one though, now that I think about.

[Another pause, this one longer than before.]

It's to finally talk to someone, about some stuff that's been bugging me for years.

Text

[alephbet]

I think that's a good resolution. It'll help you come to terms with it if you talk about it.

...Maybe I should make that one too.

Text

[technologic]

So, we both should try to open up to someone about something?

Text

[alephbet]

It sounds like a good idea.

Text

[technologic]

Okay.

... And if you need any help with that too, I'll do my best to help.

Text

[alephbet]

I'll remember that. I don't mind opening up to you.

Text

[technologic]

[Cue an even longer pause.]

Thank you, Aleph. And it's the same back to you too.

Text

[alephbet]

[what is going on behind the curtain]

I'm glad to hear it.

Text

[technologic]

[A lot of confusion, because what is kinda admitting that you trust someone.]

Though that means I'll probably be more likely to tell you stupid drunk stories, so I apologize in advance for that. [And of course she has to lighten the mood a bit now.]
