[ what the fuck is really happening in nier. Anyway, he's unsure if he should say it, but maybe it would shine some light on their situation better? Who knows. ]
I don't exist in my world anymore. [ To put it simply: ] You can say I'm dead.
[ All things considered, he's glad that Taichi is taking this well!! ]
Yeah. I'm no longer in the world, no one remembers me, and everything I've done is also erased. It's like I was never born. [ game: we are going to delete all your save files ] Don't know. Not like I could think or tell time when I didn't exist.
[ But he's going to steal the ball as Taichi looks confused there. His now, goodbye. ]
[ well well well. He makes sure to make it difficult to take the ball from him, but Taichi does have more experience. No, he doesn't know what a reboot is, but thank you for context clues. ]
I'm sure the world keeps moving forward from where I disappeared or else my choice would be pointless.
[ mm. ]
Their answers on magic didn't fill me with confidence. [ So, no. ] It's also... Been a lot.
[anytime, taichi is still going to be very much not thrilled with those implications even as they're playing. he's good enough at splitting his focus when it comes to the game because it's more or less autopilot for him, but now he has major concerns.]
So...what, the choice was either save your own life or save the lives of others?
[something about that topic is a little, hm, interesting. but then there's talks of magic and he shakes his head.]
I still don't think they're being truthful about what they are and aren't capable of here. Especially since their answers are already starting to contradict. [...but yeah.] It also makes me wonder how they'd justify their claim that we all signed up to be here.
[ why are they idiots that can talk and play at the same time? ]
Kind of; nothing that heroic. It's either I kill one of my best friends or save her life by sacrificing mine.
[ It's small, it isn't the world or several people, but friends... Important. ]
They're definitely hiding something or they're also not being told the entire truth. Either way, this place somehow pulled someone that shouldn't exist into existence.
[ YEAH, GUESS WHY HE DIDN'T ASK ABOUT THE ENROLLMENT SYSTEM?? HE KNOWS IT'S BULLSHIT BECAUSE well he's dead. ]
[pr..ot...ags???? help. but the thing is that nier says that and taichi frowns a little harder because wow, yeah, message received.]
...not an easy call to make. But I think I can understand it. [he does not elaborate on why and instead works on stealing the ball.]
They also brought a ghost here, so it makes me wonder how they're doing this. But then again if they're pulling people from different times while being from the same world, there's an even bigger problem.
[...speaking of.]
Hey, do you know a girl named Kaine? [my accented e won't work.]
[ Understanding what Nier did says so much about Taichi, to be honest. There are things he wants to ask about, like a ghost?? Different timelines? But no, Taichi asks that question.
Yeah, sure. [he shakes his head, but it's cool. he will give nier that.] But don't think I'm gonna go easy on you now that you've scored your free pass.
I wouldn't be very happy if you held back. How would I learn to get better, otherwise?
[ And we can handwave them enjoying soccer you can't get me to write this like when i had to write fights with aki every or every other week in 7r. Nier makes sure to use most of his demonic speed, but not his demonic strength (he doesn't want Taichi to die). That's life as a mercenary.

[ It isn't a yes, but he wants to believe that they can have a wish granted here. When the ball comes, he sifts it under the sole of his shoe. ]
I can't return to my sister, otherwise.
[ He practice passes back. ]
no subject
What do you mean?
no subject
I don't exist in my world anymore. [ To put it simply: ] You can say I'm dead.
no subject
Like the kind of dead you really can't come back from without a wish? [what the hell does that mean.] ...how long's it been?
no subject
Yeah. I'm no longer in the world, no one remembers me, and everything I've done is also erased. It's like I was never born. [ game: we are going to delete all your save files ] Don't know. Not like I could think or tell time when I didn't exist.
[ But he's going to steal the ball as Taichi looks confused there. His now, goodbye. ]
no subject
but then there goes the ball and there's an indignant noise as he dashes forward to steal it back. cheating!!]
Like a reboot. Everything you accomplished doesn't matter and the world started over. Like that, kind of?
[does nier know what a reboot is? who knows, he's trying here.]
So...how are you here then? Have you asked?
no subject
I'm sure the world keeps moving forward from where I disappeared or else my choice would be pointless.

And Nier's blood runs cold so fast. ]
... Yeah.
no subject
Met her the other day. She said she met someone who knew her but she didn't know them. Kind of figured out it was you.
no subject
[ If only he could close his eyes tightly right now, but he has to play. Ball is his and he's running like he's running away from problems. ]
Things are complicated, so I haven't talked to her about it.
no subject
Are you going to, you think? She seemed pretty pissed off.
no subject
[ don't save nier he deserves this ]
Not sure. I'm worried about the consequences if things became undone, but I should do something, right?
[ WHAT THE FUCK IS THE ANSWER TBH ]
no subject
I'm not gonna tell you what to do, but...maybe there's something you can work out if you talk to her. How bad is it?
no subject
[ It's that bad. ]
no subject
Depends on what happens here, maybe. If wishes are real.
no subject
[ He kind of got lost in his thoughts, then on this field. ]
no subject
Yeah, I think so.

Cheap shot, dude.

[ Ball is back. ]
We can play seriously now—no distractions.

[ball is back. they can play now.]
