Emoticon Denouement

When you're having a conversation with someone online and it starts to get boring so it slowly drifts into replies of emoticons until neither party replies.

Enouement 

The bitter-sweetness of arriving at the future, seeing how things turned out, but not being able to tell your past self.

Looking around in my new apartment, I felt enouement towards all the things I have achieved at getting this new place for myself.
