I've heard it customary to lay plans for the future upon the new year. Saying your goals out loud has always helped me to achieve them, so I'm curious to know what goals you have planned for yourself. Be they large or small.

I've nothing grandiose for myself— only to be a better person. A person worthy of friendship, and to continue to help those around me.

[ And after a small pause: ]

—Maybe open a petting zoo, at this rate.

That's something we're all likely prone to. You've realized what you can change, so now you can do it.

[ Not the best advice considering the lack of context, but surely Sidestep wouldn't be thinking of something so negative!! ]

I'll work on it.

(...And they will! They'll try to avoid their friends for several days before something makes them feel like they have to go back and check up on Turo at the Observatory, or Dojima asks them to explain some technology thing, or Hawks sees them and decides to bug them, or they find themself showing up to bother Ranma without thinking...

His encouragement will make them worse, but the "progress" won't last, in other words.)

[gruffier]

Should you ever seek assistance with that, I'm only a message away.

[telepathicignorance]

Sure.

(Yeah that's not happening. He'd try to stop them.)

[gruffier]

Good.

I hope this year finds you well, then. Should you want to return home or not.

[telepathicignorance]

Yeah.

(Do they?)
