Okay.

[ Nier is here! Sketching out what he wants to paint on a canvas. It looks like a field of flowers. ]

Hey.

[inaccordant]

[cease]

What did you want to talk about?

[amain]

[ He gives him a voucher! ]

First, I'd like to buy three letters from my sister.

[inaccordant]

[please know that one voucher was the discounted price so nier just decided on his own that he was getting the discount from hugo, but hugo doesn't care, so.

he takes it, before producing three letters and handing them over to nier. i assume you had something in mind hei and these aren't three completely random letters but anyway nier has them now.]

[amain]

[ Thank. Nier got the impression Hugo doesn’t care, so this worked out. Also, Nier’s stupid.

And, yes, there are only three letters on him in canon. ]

You really are not fussy about vouchers.

[inaccordant]

There doesn't seem to have been any mental change since we broke free, so does it matter at this point?

[amain]

I don't know. Annie still prices things, so...

[ Shrugs. ]

How have you been?

[inaccordant]

Well, we can't do much without vouchers, but I don't see a reason to need any more than needed.

I've been as one would expect.

[amain]

... Awful?

[ Hugo just looks the same. ]

[inaccordant]

... Regardless of the things that have happened, there's no choice but to move forward.

[amain]

... There's nothing wrong with slowing down, either.

[ nier is a dirty hypocrite though and likes keeping busy ]

Made any progress with the trips?

[inaccordant]

No. It wouldn't be a surprise if whatever's behind those isn't exactly the same thing as the foe we should face.

[amain]

[ Nier frowns cause how many things are even related? If only he knew players did this. Players made them suffer. ]

Mm... That'd be disappointing since I'd want to make them pay.

[inaccordant]

Unfortunately, part of life is learning to live with disappointments. Sometimes, there's not always an outlet for anger.

[amain]

... You're right. This is where "stress relief" comes in. What do you usually do, Hugo? Work?

[ Nier: i want to talk to you about something
Nier, in actuality: we should hang out ]

[inaccordant]

Yes.

[what is........... hanging out]

[amain]

... Have you been working nonstop since you arrived here as Chad?

[ HEWWo ]

[inaccordant]

Well, I was also studying back when I falsely believed I was a student.

[does that count as non-work]

[amain]

... I don't think that counts, Hugo.

[ NO ]

[inaccordant]

Is there a problem with that?

[amain]

... I think you can use a break, a short one. Doing something else.

[inaccordant]

I don't need one.

[amain]

... Then want to help me with something?

[ Nier tries to find a workaround. ]

[inaccordant]

[squints]

... What?

[amain]

Is that a no?

[ HE CAN ACTUALLY SAY NO AND RUN ]
