While Aris hadn't done any actual assessment of his year so far before making the statement, he does now and has to laugh. Especially at the mention of New Years. He bumps his shoulder against Viola's when he leans in to confide, "Actually...I got lost. Missed the fireworks and the countdown and everything! Val's mom's Kneazle had to rescue me. It was sort of a bummer. But it's just one night, you know?"
