[ He tilts his head. ]

Mind telling me what specifically for Claude?

[departea]

Mm, he was going to use his to wish himself back to life, and I was going to use mine to help with his home situation.

But he's... adjusting the first one and said mine isn't needed anymore.

[amain]

[ Has anyone ever told you they love you but also avoid talking about their situation with you. It’s very funny. Because what the fuck.

Nier is so worried??? Not shocked, but hello???? ]

Thanks for telling me, Annie. I’m worried… But I believe in him.

[ Maybe too much, to be honest. ]

How will you use your wish?

[departea]

[ CLAUDE!!! WHY!!!!! ]

... it'll be fine. His new idea is still good enough I'm willing to drop my offer for it.

[ annie would have refused otherwise because she promised. ]

I'm not sure yet. I guess get myself out of purgatory.

[amain]

[ spoon: nier is the first person he has told he loves them and claude loves him very much
me:
nier: ]

... Say that with more confidence since I do want to visit you.

[ And he gives her an envelope! It is a letter. ]

[departea]

[ oh... she takes it, and then looks at it. she is unsure if she should read it now because that might be awkward with him just standing here. ]

Thank you. [ ... ] We'll see each other again.

[amain]

[ She can always ask if she can read it here? That is always a thing? Why does NO ONE ASK? ]

I'd hope so. I would want you to meet my sister somehow.

[departea]

[ STOP some people are shy

neither of them are but the point still stands. ]

Oh! That would be exciting... I want to see you eat her food...

[amain]

... Annie.

Do you... By chance hate me?

[departea]

[ she just. bursts out laughing?

it takes her a moment to stop. ]

No, I love you very much. And that's why I want to see it.

[amain]

[ PLEasE. A sigh. ]

I can't even say you should eat with me.

[ Nier has to suffer alone, but then he catches himself. ]

Not that Yonah's cooking is that bad.

[departea]

[ she somehow manages to keep a straight face as she nods. ]

No, of course it isn't. She's doing a good job.

[amain]

That's right. She can only get better as a cook and baker from here on out.

[ THANK YOU. ]

I know this place has been terrible, but... I will miss a couple of things.

[departea]

Yeah... I mean, it would be a lie to say that we didn't have some fun in between everything else. And it was kind of neat to go to school again.

[ especially when you aren't paying for it! wow. ]

[amain]

... Yeah. I never went to school, even though I don't think I'd ever come to one like Wiwaldi ever again. I wasn't used to so many people in one place, either. Then the party games were wild.

[ HAHA. ]

It's still something, right?

[departea]

Mm, school parties do tend to get a tad out there... we're lucky that there weren't any functional campus security.

[ imagine if the police busted into a murdergame but it was to give them a citation for underaged drinking instead of helping with the murder ]

But yeah. I did have some fun, and I met a lot of... important people.

[amain]

... School has security. Huh.

[ Nier is tilting his head because what could go wrong? You are just learning. This is a place to LEARN not to FIGHT. He doesn't consider underaged drinking to be a problem when they have people that should be condemning it. ]

Like?

[ Tell him more! ]

[departea]

[ ah, the things that could go wrong on a campus...

at the prompting though, she fidgets for a second before nodding. ]

Well, you, for one. You're very important to me.

[amain]

[ Touched, his smile widens. He has never stuck around most people for long since he always had a goal in mind... Always running off somewhere, only stopping to help people out, then leaving after. ]

You're important to me, too, Annie.

[ WHO ELSE!! ]

[departea]

[ oh!!

she'll answer the brackets in the second, because for now she's hugging him instead. ]

[amain]

[ It's fine. They can have their hug even though they hug like... How often? But he gives her a little squeeze in this hug. ]

[departea]

[ the connection of all the summers is that they hugged. i solved it. ]

-- but um, a few other people, too.

[amain]

[ They're raccoons that want to hug other raccoons. ]

A few, huh. Go ahead and gush about them.

[departea]

Isn't Claude great?

[ she says him first because she knows nier agrees ]

It's funny, because when we first started talking, he tried to seem so aloof and distant because he didn't trust me! And now we're besties.

[amain]

[ i hate you francy YES NIER AGREES OF COURSE HE DOES ]

I get what you mean... When we first met, I thought he was kind of shady, but he didn't seem like a bad guy.

[ But how does he say this. ]

He kind of reminded me of the missing boyfriends girls would ask me to find, then I'd learn they were trying to run away. Usually, I would also find them dead.

[ Claude is dead so he thinks that this fits. ]
