Much better. Don't wear yourself out using that trick of yours.
[Nier gently pats Noah on the shoulder.]
If it's just a smaller wound I can use traditional first aid. I'll bandage it properly when I get a chance to.
That should help with bleeding and stabilizing pressure.
[Nier sighs. This is really a mess. The last thing that he remembers is very vague. He just turned twenty-one and he was going to school. It was late that evening and when he woke up things were like this.]
[ Nier is shirtless but also the canvas can shield his hot (?) abs from prying eyes, probably. Noah glances absent-mindedly at his hands. The crystallization has progressed further, but for some reason he isn't weirded out by it unlike the other strange happenings. It seemed almost... natural. ]
We'll get you some clothes and then get you home, okay?
[ It must be the blood loss. Noah tries to keep a slower pace, the careful step that he would use when he was first discharged from the hospital. Thankfully, none of the maids question them when they pass by. ]

How do you feel?

[Nier's worried for Noah more than himself. It's a bad habit he's developed over these years. Other people always come before he does.]
I promise I'll go home once we're done here. Then I have to figure out what I'm going to tell my sister.
Do you have any ideas?
no subject
You'll have to tell her the truth eventually....
no subject
[ The last thing any brother wants is to see their sister cry. ]
I need to pull it together. There's no easy way to tell the truth, is there?
[ No there isn't ]
no subject
[ It's a lose-lose situation. Noah starts the car, driving them to his place slowly. He's sure he could sneak Nier past the maids. ]
Your hair colour changed too. She'll ask about that as well.
no subject
That's not actually a lie. Discoloration of hair can take place for many reasons.
[Still doesn't explain how he has blue eyes and has an entirely different demeanor.]
....I'll do my best to tell the truth. Try not to worry so much, Noah.
no subject
This is extremely NOT reassuring, Nier... ]
If you say so... [ There's some moments of silence as he makes a turn. ] It's not much stranger than me suddenly being able to heal, though.
no subject
What's up with that anyway? Is it a Magic trick?
no subject
[ He's honest about that. ]
I just have a feeling it has something to do with the moon.
no subject
It could be dangerous.
[ It sounds like he's speaking from experience somehow. Nier is a scientist and researchers always enter the unknown realm knowing the risks. ]
no subject
[ Another pause as he checks the road ]
I've only used it when it was really important.
no subject
[ Nier looks down at himself feeling guilty for being in such poor shape.]
This might sound weird but would you listen to me? I vaugely recall something like a memory.
[ He frowns. ]
no subject
[ He's also tangentially invested because he had a similar experience, but he won't say that yet. ]
no subject
[ He was consumed by an overwhelming desire to kill in that memory. Welcome to Yoko Taro.]
There was blood everywhere...and when I woke up I was like this. I hope I don't sound crazy.
no subject
[ Noah turns up the hill and to his home. They're almost there ]
no subject
[ The reason why Noah sometimes gets 82827384 different names too. ]
It's possible that I just somehow forgot something, but I don't know. It's hard to say.
Have you seen any strange visions?
[ oh good they're almost at Noah's place.]
no subject
[ They need to get Nier dressed again. He could borrow some of Noah's clothes, or some of Harque's if they don't fit. ]
We'll go get you a change of stuff so you can go home without needing the sheet.
no subject
[ Nier lets out a sigh. He would be happy to wear some real clothes.]
Damn, I can't see too well. Could we walk a little slower?
