I'll just say it's a result of stress or something.

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.

[morient]

[ ...... 💧

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.

[silentends]

[ He's got a track record for being a complete idiot with no self awareness. The concern is warranted. ]

What's up with that anyway? Is it a Magic trick?

[morient]

I don't know.

[ He's honest about that. ]

I just have a feeling it has something to do with the moon.

[silentends]

The moon? Try to be careful when using things you don't know too much about.

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. ]

[morient]

I know, but if I didn't use it, you could've died.

[ Another pause as he checks the road ]

I've only used it when it was really important.

[silentends]

I see. Sorry for troubling you like that....and thanks.

[ 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. ]

[morient]

Sure, I'll listen to anything.

[ He's also tangentially invested because he had a similar experience, but he won't say that yet. ]

[silentends]

These strange disfigured shadows showed up all of a sudden. The only thing I could think about was how much I wanted them dead.

[ 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.

[morient]

Is the memory yours though? Maybe it was a magical hallucination?

[ Noah turns up the hill and to his home. They're almost there ]

[silentends]

Ever since I was young my memories haven't been very clear. That's why I have such a hard time with things like names.

[ 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.]

[morient]

I have. But they were only when I was sleeping.

[ 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.

[silentends]

It's worrying that things have become so dangerous lately.

[ 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?

[morient]

Ah, 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. ]
