Goddamn it!

[ nier unsheathes his sword instinctively; he doesn't mean to, but he does. he grits his teeth, brows coming together, fingers curling as metal clashes against metal. he pushes back in some attempt to stagger her — in her eyes, he knows what's reflected isn't him.

but it feeds into something no less. something ugly, raw, and monstrous. he wants to tear her apart. but he wants to save her so desperately as well. ]

I don't care what it takes. I'm not going to let you die here!

[ nier launches forward in turn. white, white, what a brilliant white. he sees the same girl in it each and every time. the nostalgia overtakes him, the longing, the loss resounding and hurting so beautifully. pain. he hates it with every fibre of his being. ]

A2!

Stop laughing...

[The Red Girls are everywhere. She swings at one and another appears behind her, by her side, everywhere, all laughing, all mocking, their faces split in wide and unnatural grins, their eyes cold and pitiless. Just like before.

Why hadn't she realized before that they were here? Doing this, sending her and the humans down into the belly of this ship to die like animals? She should've known, she should've —

Nier pushes her backward and she reels some, drunken almost, unsteady, before righting herself again. Her eyes are so wild, focused so intently on some place behind him, beyond him.

She's faster, without the Circle's limitations, and much stronger, rage and paranoia both driving her to be relentless in her strikes. When their swords clash again she pushes against it, hard, the ruined vestiges of her face too close to his own.]

Stop laughing at me!
