//Just got ending A

Best believe am NieR brain rotted now…

Upon getting Ending E I’ll probably put him Post Timeskip, I honestly preferred that version

“Why are we roaring…?”

“Ah, true. Haven’t seen someone with horns before.”

Unfortunately he was. Doubly so since it was just him and his sister for as long as he could remember.

“Oh…! Well…then it’s an honor, right?”

Nier wasn’t too sure what tone to take, but he was managing a smile at least.

He tilted his head.

“Are you not human too?”

With the amount of…characters he’s come across, half the time he doesn’t know what niche differences there are among humans, shades…or…other entities.

Nier blinked surprisedly a few times.

“…Or…not? I’ve never seen someone fish like that! Seems a little unsanitary too…”

“Sure—“

Casually watching the deity plunge in, then sighing.

“Well 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 is how you scare them away…”

“I…

Well, I guess I can’t argue with that…”

“Wasting time fishing…”

He has no idea how badly…

//Vile my phone always changes "from" to "form" I hate it…

“They appear form thin air and…leave ruin in their path. I have made it my goal to slay every single one of them…”

“Shadow people, yes, but they do not fight *for* me. They are violent creatures that attack anyone around.”

Will. It was something he had plenty of, but his faith in his own strength could waver in times of distress.

Protecting and helping, that was all Nier cared about in the end.

Even when he wore himself thin.

He felt the mercenary’s gaze upon him, and his eyes focused intently.

“Of course…! I do.”

“For better reach when fighting! Can’t let shades get too close.”

“Maybe I should try my hand at spears.”

“"Wind" and a "sword", huh…?”

Nier’s gaze faltered, blankly peering into an obscure void oh his own thoughts.

“I do have…had…” A shade of melancholy washed over the boy’s face. A grin pang of failure clutching at his mind.

“I…will have someone to protect, again. Someone soon, I know it.”

“Everything is breaking, just like the time Weiss and I were stuck in a dream…”

Sitting at the outdoor fountain.

Much to think about.

+ “Oh, maybe. I’m certainly not the best chef and…well, I’m not the richest traveler either, but I make do!”

The sight out the radiance mercenary was one to behold, especially in the sunlight like this. It would have inspired him to train if he hadn’t been already.

“I guess you’re right, yeah…”

Room to grow and change…Nier certainly had plenty of that, he felt. If only he had been stronger before… +

“I don’t think she would have liked this.”

“People are dressing up like Kainé, but with rabbit ears. Huh…”

The moment Ike’s hand makes contact Nier steps back, but the lack of a threat does ease his worries.

“Well…yeah? I always have been.”

The boy shrugs.

“I’m always out and about. Maybe I’m just bound to be this way?”

“Sick?”

Blinking worriedly.

“H-how so?”

“Lots of colorful people…”

Planting seeds.

Growing crops is important! A few jobs and he was able to afford enough to fill all fifteen plots!
