I never did put much stock in those 'resolution' things. Then again I never found myself at fault or weak all that time ago. I never had something I wanted to achieve so much that didn't have anything...admittance that there might be something there on his birthday got to Ren) and doesn't want to freak him out.  And of course he doesn't know much about what to do in winning someone over, so...XD]

[Device clicks on just as chimes can be heard...midnight. It's now January first 2009. Ren is sitting on the windowsill looking out at the City, and sighs.] Hmm...Happy 16th Birthday huh? I wonder...in the apartment. And he is affected, his resolution is wavering though as he's been thinking about it a lot, it all depends on what sort of response he gets from Horo tonight.~ Happy 2009 everyone.
