(ROLE) DOCTOR WHO

[dormheads]

doctor who.

On Monday at 9 PM, Nier receives an encrypted e-mail.

middleman@Wiwaldi.edu

Meet me at the Student Health Office alone. Don't tell anyone.

Luke

No one is in the halls as Nier creeps to the Student Health Service Office. The door opens, and Luke waves him inside.

There is a trendy plastic letter board standing up on the counter which reads:

DOCTOR WHO
● DOCTOR or WHO?
● DOCTOR will spare someone from execution on Sunday, but under certain conditions. WHO? will allow the removal of a single piece of evidence. If no evidence is known, use "wildcard" to make it random.
● This choice is only active during the current week.
● You have to pick one or the other (doctor or who), not both.
● Deadline is Tuesday, 6 PM.

[His lips thin into a frown.]

I don't know... but the last person who asked, I told them it wouldn't hurt anything to try anyway. Why? What are you using it for?

[amain]

I don’t know how this place pulled me out of the void, but I don’t exist in my world anymore. My life… People’s memory of me—gone.

[ So it’s for that. ]

[darksubverted]

[He just

frowns at Nier! And is quiet for a long time.]

Like... [Well, he looks confused for a second. Wow, he can't remember her name...? Weird. Xi...? Anyway,] Sora and I were... trapped in the darkness.

Before I came here. We were sitting at the edge of the water on the shore. We had accepted we were probably stuck there. I can't leave him there alone. I won't.

[No one has asked him about his own wish yet, not after being himself again.

But it's for that.]

[amain]

[ He’s like WHOMST? As Riku tries to boggle his brain, but that does seem like the point. ]

Yeah, like that. [ … ] You won’t. You’ll go back to him and you two will get out of the darkness. I’m sure.

[ Because Riku is obviously light! At least to Nier. Even without the wish, he believes in him.

Also, gay. ]

[darksubverted]

[Jokes on Nier. Riku is the darkness. He's the only one of their friends with the darkness in his lil stupid heart.]

If there really is a wish, I'm using it to take us back home.

[Kairi's LETTER.]

If there's a wish, you should go back home, too. And be there.

[amain]

[ Nier, unfortunately, despite probably knowing because they’re similar in some regard, will always choose to see the best of people… Especially his favorites. places light dunce cap on Riku.

He smiles because he does want Riku’s wish to come true. ]

I will. Despite everything, I do want to live again. It’s just…

[ Depression. ]

I’ll be okay.

[darksubverted]

[Hey. NO. Stop that. How'd you not get into Fall if you have depression, asshole!?]

It's just what?

[amain]

[ i actually don’t know ]

I’ll be fine. I have you, Kainé, and everyone else. I’ll also work on Summer dorm when I can.

[darksubverted]

[He FROWNS about this because clearly it isn't FINE, Nier. But he doesn't know how to keep arguing without arguing it into the ground.]

Just... don't try to do everything on your own. You can talk to me at least. It's not like I haven't... like I don't understand.

[amain]

[ sometimes you are too stubborn? ]

… I know. Thank you, Riku.

[darksubverted]

[METAPHORICALLY KICKS HIM]

Don't thank me when you're probably not gonna listen.

[amain]

[ BABY BROTHER IS THROWING A FIT? ]

I promise I’ll come talk to you, but you also have to take care of yourself. [ you are in some deep shit with amnesia and this dorm head thing. ] I’ll listen, too.

[darksubverted]

[YEAH. Cause BIG BROTHER is as much of a STUPID ASS as he is!]

I know that... [Stubborn. Don't look.] Fine. Deal.

[He holds his hand out. Shake on it, fucker.]

[amain]

[ WHY ARE YOU FILLED WITH SELF-LOATHING THEY BOTH HAVE ENOUGH

He takes Riku's hand and shakes it. ]

Deal.

[darksubverted]

[wait this is his good hand by the way he's not letting niisan squeeze his lil paw again

He shakes on it.]

Stay out of trouble.
