[One after the other. It makes him feel numb.]

If this is entertainment for someone, I really want to kick in their teeth.

[amain]

I don't believe what they're saying about how killers are forced against their will. Their circumstances may make it so they think they have to kill or they're corned to do it, but they still planned it. People are still dead and they're letting more people die.

[ I actually got a tag once that had meta saying "I didn't know Nier was capable of being mad." ]

If this is for a greater cause or for our own good, they're not telling us. We have every right to damn them all until we know the truth. This whole place and its puppet master can also rot in hell.

[duranduel]

[god wish that were me]

Yeah. [And his eyebrows furrow.] Yeah. I was...so willing to give them a chance. That maybe they were victims, and all. But with things like this...even if was some kind of "kill one to save many" thing...I-I can't abide by it.

[Molly's murder was far, far too cruel.]

I said it a couple of weeks ago. And I will say it again. I'd burn this place down, if I could.

[amain]

Many of us do. When we win, we'll have our chance.

[ Nier is sure about it. Vengeance will be theirs. ]

... I still don't plan to kill Byleth.

[ In case Mandy was worried the intent might return. ]

[duranduel]

[Well, that's good, he thinks.]

...I don't want blood on your hands, Nier. Even if you had it before you came here. I don't want you getting executed for...somethin' like that. You don't deserve that.

[amain]

That would be for other people to decide, but I don't plan on dying. I want to live.

[ ... ]

I'm sorry that I had to put you in that position—in trial.

[duranduel]

[That nets a look from Mandricardo, who almost looks...proud?]

I'm happy to hear that, Nier.

[Because after that memshare...]

And hey. No. Don't apologize. I'm a Servant. The relationships we have with Masters is something that...is hard to just throw away in an instant. I couldn't help it.

[amain]

[ thank you, dilf. Nier just wants to be sad some more... Maybe cry some more, but he has to look forward. He takes a deep breath. ]

... I wonder what we'll do about Byleth. She's killed multiple times like Rupert. Something like that doesn't stop.

[duranduel]

[Thank you, guy who was a dilf in an AU version of his game.]

Absolutely not. I...don't want anyone to get in trouble for killing her, but at the same time, I...can't see how she can be allowed to just walk around like it's nothin'. I can't believe she's just going to sit nice and tidy this week.

[amain]

[ stop ]

... I want to believe everyone will address it when they've had their time to grieve. [ imagine if we don't ] Have you talked to her?

[ Since Nier obviously Did Not today. ]

[duranduel]

I have.

[He looks distant.]

She just gave vague answers. I'm frustrated just thinking about it.

[amain]

... So it was no different from Kaoruko and Rupert, then.

[ We the people are in the DAAARK. ]

[duranduel]

Yeah. She said she just murdered "on a whim". Like...I don't believe that.

I can't believe that.

[amain]

I can't, either. Taking a life isn't easy and it would need to be worth the blood on your hands.

[ And the nightmares. ]

Taichi told me that Rupert implied the killers are still on our side or something...
