[ ah, yes, them vibing about wanting to not think. what a good bad thing. ]

... Usually, I just put the book down. Do you get mad?

[ ??????? ]

What? No, I know how to put books down if I don't want to keep reading.

[but he is the type to sit through a whole movie and be mad about it at the end. nier didn't ask though, so now he doesn't have to know.]

Then what about with movies?

[ Nier is stupid but he knows what they were initially talking about. Books are for him, a post-apocalyptic human being, not for a modern from a real city. ]

[careful consideration...]

On Earth, things cost money. So if I paid to go see a movie in a theater I'll sit through it even if it's bad.

... So you get mad with movies.

[ That's what he's getting. ]

[there's a disgruntled kind of noise.]

Only sometimes.

[ snrrk. ]

You did pay for it, so that's understandable. At least you went with friends. That should help?

It softened the blow of complete disappointment, yeah. [he's just teasing at this point, but it's fine.] But I think just about everything's better with other people anyway.

[ With other people. Nier... Looks over to Yamato, then to Taichi. ]

Things... are...

[? ? ?]

...[he just kind of waits for nier to finish his thought. yes?]

[ HHHHHHHHHHHHH TAICHI........ Nier is just dying inside. ]

Are things better?

[taichi, who has forgotten about superlatives (he did not forget, he just briefly forgot other people might have noticed.)]

...even if it doesn't seem like it, it's better to be with them than without them.

[he is interpreting the question the way he wants to.]

[ If only I could reach out and grab Taichi by the neck. ]

... That's okay enough, in my opinion.

[ Yes, that's fine. ]

[me as well.]

Glad to hear it. [and once again he gets out of explaining literally anything. sweet.]

You've been making friends here, haven't you?

[ sometimes boys need to navigate things themselves.

huh. what is this question. ]

Yeah. Everyone has been pretty nice... I know someone that thinks you'd be a good leader.

[ Not Nier's words. ]

[he's not sure what to think of that, really, even though it's entirely true. he's been a leader for six years but maybe it's different here? he says none of that and instead smiles shortly. ]

I don't think I'd mind that. But you're right. People for the most part are nice. Not bad for a bunch of confused strangers. [one of them may murder again, but he does not say that.] School's a pretty big adjustment so...figured I'd ask.

[ someone definitely going to murder and nier unfortunately is expecting it. makes the sign of the bisexual cross. ]

That's nice of you, Taichi... I've been doing well, but there have been times where I wondered if it's okay for me to be here.

[mood and a half bro.]

...because of what you told me? [he assumes, and then he shrugs.] I figure it must be for some reason or you wouldn't be.

[ ty my inbox. yeah, he also won't touch the leader part because he'd rather not have a young man shoulder all that despite YEARS of leadership. ]

I guess some of that. [ He also shrugs. ] Some of it is that I never got a break back at home. I was always working or fighting.

So it feels off to... Enjoy something like this for more than one moment.

[what did i do to your inbox. it's fine, they can dance around that.]

You're not the first person to say that to me. But I think my answer is still the same. Sometimes all you can do is enjoy the small stuff while trying to find a way to fix the bigger stuff. It's not like we're not still working or figuring things out by doing this. It's just like taking the time to regroup.

We're quite the bunch if you've heard it more than once.

[ it was clean and then wasn't i'm kidding thank you for tags ]

A lot of people have been confiding in you, huh. [ ... ] You promise you're doing all right?

[holds my hei tags gently. anyway yeah. this is a group of people who work hard and don't know breaks, taichi included.]

It sort of makes sense with the circumstances. [he does not clarify if he means that it makes sense people are confiding in him, or that they're all working overtime. but he looks at nier briefly before letting his gaze drift across the room like he eyeballing how many people are there.]

Things are fine, Nier. Nothing we're not used to. [a pause. and a smile.] Which is exactly why a break like this was needed for everybody.

[his point has been proven, wao.]

[ both of those things aren't good, taichi. Since Taichi is so insightful in their situation, Nier bops him with a pillow. ]

[he is bopped.

he is wounded!

he is...laughing a little and giving nier another shrug.]

Let's just enjoy the movies, okay? [that's the polite way of saying he sure as fuck does not want to talk about stuff in public.]

[ THAT'S WHY HE BOPPED YOU INSTEAD OF CONTINUING THE CONVERSATION, IDIOT. ]

... The bad feeling is creeping back.

[ He says that because it's movie time it's movie time. ]
