as long as you remember me, i don't care if everyone else forgets. [attr="class","quicklinks"]♡STAYPOSITIVE♡ [attr="class","quicklinks"]357 words ♡ Lights, Camera, Action! Nox Tenebris on stage, front and center. ♡ | [attr="class","technoscroll"]❝ Nox had to spend some time alone after everything that had happened. After the cracks became so large in her heart and mind. she started shattering in front of people The traditional 'smile and wave' mantra in her head no longer worked, and all she could do was curl into whatever corner possible and hysterically cry. It was pathetic, really. There was no in-between, no 'okay' moment after her breakdowns, it was one after the other. She even managed out a weak chuckle which sounded like more of a sob as she tried to calm her breathing.
"...C-calm down Nox, it'll be okay, I'll b-be okay- I c-can fix this, I can f-fix it..." She croaked out to herself, curled in a ball on the couch rocking. "Publicity stunt! No, that won't work. M-maybe I can p-play it off as acting...?" As she said this her breath picked up, stuffing her face in her knees as she quietly cried, not even realizing the footsteps walking into the room before it was too late... |

 Good Meals, Good Friends,
Good Laughs, Good Murders, What more could anyone want? "..." Nero walked into the room with a smile, leaning on the staff slightly as he entered it. However, his smile faded as he heard crying. He walked over quietly towards the sound, and after a few seconds spotted Nox on a couch. It wasn't surprising. It seems that everyone got hit hard by Dorothy's death, and Nox was no exception. A few seconds passed, with Nero listening to the Ultimate talk. Nero's frown only grew. The feeling that he felt right now... it wasn't pity. It was empathy. Nero simply and quietly walked to Nox, without saying a single word. He quietly sat down next to Nox, and only after a few seconds passed did Nero speak up.
"...I'm sorry." Nero the Empathetic Baker

as long as you remember me, i don't care if everyone else forgets. [attr="class","quicklinks"]♡STAYPOSITIVE♡ [attr="class","quicklinks"]357 words ♡ Lights, Camera, Action! Nox Tenebris on stage, front and center. ♡ | [attr="class","technoscroll"]❝ She flinched as she saw Nero sit next to her, but even though every bone in her body was screaming at her to run away or pretend she wasn't crying, she knew it wouldn't work. Plus... Nero could be trusted, right? He never... would betray her.
He actually care about her, right? Not the fake persona, not the smiles and laughs and curtseys and grins, the confidence and self-absorbed nature she put on for a show, but who she truly was on the inside. She was still breathing heavily as she very shakily looked at Nero from her side view, nails gripping onto her knees so tightly she was probably making it bleed as she hiccuped quietly.
Truthfully, she was absolutely terrified of the opposite being true. That he'd leave, or laugh, or-
"I'm sorry."
She broke at that, covering her face as she broke down into much louder, more broken sobs. "W-why are you s-sorry? I'm f-fucked up and b-broken, t-this is all on me I'm s-sorry I l-lied about my p-personality I'm s-sorry I yelled I'm sorry..." She didn't seem to be making too much sense, just crying her first thoughts. |

"..." Nero looked at Nox with sorrow in her eyes. As she cried out, it truly pierced Nero's heart. The sorrow he felt, it was almost overwhelming. It seems that Dorothy really had left a hole in everyone's heart. Nero looked over, and gave Nox a hug. It wasn't a strong one... just one of empathy. A supportive one. One that said It's okay.
"...Nox. It's not your fault. Everyone... lies. Everyone's angry sometimes. Everyone's scared of something. I suppose... that's what it means to be human... if I had to say." Nero's tone was somber. Rather, it seemed... tired. After a few seconds, Nero turned to Nox and gave her a small smile.
"Nobody will blame you for what you feel. Nobody will blame you for being human... except Monokuma I suppose. A bear wouldn't know what it's like to be human." Nero had a small smile as he tried to add a small joke at the end. Even now, the voice in the back of his head told him to try to lighten the mood. After a few moments, Nero's smile disappeared. It was time to address his apology.
"...Nox. I'm sorry. I came in without thinking and listened to your secret. In turn... It's only fair if I give you a secret, right? A secret that I've lied about." Nero had a small smile on his face as he asked this of Nox. Nero the Supportive Baker

Nox Tenebris on stage, front and center. ♡ | [attr="class","technoscroll"]❝ She found that her mind only grew in turmoil and confusion, two halves of her mind screaming and yelling in her ear as she cried. What Nero was telling her was... something she admittingly wanted to believe in so badly. So badly in fact, her crying got a tiny bit louder at his comforting words and embrace. As he hugged her he could feel how thin and fragile she had become, as well as how much she was shaking as she hiccuped and sobbed.
When he tried to joke he got a tiny sound of approval from her throat, a wavering smile gracing her face for a few moments before fading back away. She rubbed her eyes shakily, staring at Nero in shock when he mentioned a possible secret. Her heart wavered, not wanting him to reveal something to someone as unimportant and broken as her, but if it gave him the opportunity to vent or feel better...
"...I-Is there anyway I c-can help? Y-you can tell me a-anything, I won't t-tell anyone I s-swear... and... it's f-fine Nero. You... I h-honestly t-trust you... with my secrets. E-even if I'm too w-weak to share all of t-them right now..." |

"...I'm glad to hear that Nox... I truly am." Nero had a smile on his face as he looked at his fellow Ultimate, fully prepared to reveal the secret that had been revealed twice prior.
"I suppose it's only fair to say... you're not the first I've told this to. Liam and... Valentina know about this as well. The lie that I've told everyone... is that I'm physically healthy... Be warned, this isn't pretty." Nero pulled up his pants leg, and with it he revealed the great scar on the back of his right leg, with new smaller cuts decorating it.
"...I've never been able to run, swim or jump ever since I got here, and it's only gotten worse. Even now, I need this staff in order to walk by myself." Nero had a small frown as he showed the staff to Nox.
"...I didn't tell anyone at first... because I was terrified. I thought that if someone knew about it, then I'd be an easy victim to pick. After all, I would have no way to run away from them. But... I eventually asked Liam to guard me. It's... felt so nice to confide in someone for once. To trust someone. Even with a secret as yours, I think it'll be a load off of your mind." Nero's turned to Nox with a smile on his face. A few seconds passed, and Nero gave another hug to her.
"Even if you're scared about what will happen, don't worry. As long as I can breathe, I'll try to be there for you." Nero the Broken Baker

Nox Tenebris on stage, front and center. ♡ | [attr="class","technoscroll"]❝ Nox's throat went dry as she saw all the scars and the large scar on his leg. She very slowly turned her eyes from his leg to his eyes, before silently hugging him tightly as he hugged her. He could feel a few minutes later the tears soaking through his shirt as she grabbed onto him, the silent cries turning into loud and shaky sobs.
"Oh my g-god I'm s-so sorry, I c-can't- you... you d-don't deserve- why? H-how... w-when we get out o-of here I'll help y-you fix it I s-swear!" She shouted through her loud cries, shaking her head. She felt her breath hitch when he told her about admitting a secret, trying to be honest and maybe... it helping her. She took a few long minutes to ponder this, before shakily breathing out. Her sobs calmed back down to normal cries, before it was just her weakly trembling in his arms. "...If y-you ever need me, I'm h-here, o-okay? And... I d-don't think l-less of you..."
All she could think was 'he doesn't deserve this,' before a new question, one she never put much merit in, spawned. "Why do any of us deserve this?"
She still doesn't know the answer.
She smiled brokenly but genuinely to Nero, hiccuping quietly before speaking again. "I'm glad you have L-Liam to guard you... I t-trust him..." She then paused again, physically straining to say something.
"...If I... t-told you... about... me, as in... the real me, would... would you leave? Just l-like everyone else?" She asked tentatively, but the underlying fear in her voice was ever so present. |

"..." Nero had a true smile on his face as he listened to Nox. It seems that his fear weren't realized. Nero continued his hug with Nox, with a true happiness in him. Finally after a few moments, Nero let go and looked at the Ultimate Internet Personality.
"Nox... Thank you. It's... a little too late to be fixed, but I'm truly glad that you care." Nero smiled as he looked at the Ultimate. A few moments passed as he listened to her. Nero was glad that she shared his opinion of Liam as a bodyguard. After all, since there wasn't a SHSL Bodyguard here, right?
"...Nox. I would never abandon you. You're my friend. No matter what your real you is like, I'll always be there for you." Nero had a reassuring smile on his face as he looked at the girl. A small look told him that despite his slightly wetter shirt, his visit seemed to be helping, if only slightly. Nero the Happier Baker

Nox Tenebris on stage, front and center. ♡ | [attr="class","technoscroll"]❝ Nox softly shifted, grabbing Nero's hand as he seemed to have given up on himself. Her eyes widened and she squeezed his hands lightly, shaking her head. Her hands were shaking but still firm as she tried to reassure him.
"Y-you can't give t-this up, Nero! If you don't h-have hope..." her face got pale as she looked down, squeezing her eyes shut. "...t-then what do we h-have?" She seemed horribly lost when she said that, as if she was asking herself more than him. She sniffled, looking at her lap.
"...I'm n-not cheerful and happy. I'm n-not c-confident I'm n-not- I h-hate everything in my l-life! I didn't e-even want to be a fucking Internet Personality I just-" her breath hitched as she moved one of her hands to weakly punch the bed.

"..." Nero frowned as he listened to his friend. Even now, his leg ached and he knew there wasn't much he could do about it. After a few seconds, Nero spoke up.
"...Nox, my leg's... been like this for seven years. It's been... seven years since that Ultimate Despair... found me..." Nero had a saddened look on his face as he remembered that fateful night. After a few seconds, he snapped out of it with a small smile towards Nox.
"It's too late for it to heal... and even if it could, I couldn't afford to go to the Doctor over it... But you're right... We need to have Hope! Without it, we have nothing! Nox, we'll get out, and I'll help you in every way I can!" Nero looked determined as he spoke to the Ultimate with a new found strength in his eyes. A few minutes passed as he listened to Nox with a supportive smile. Finally, after she was done, he spoke up.
"Nox... It must have been truly hard for you to come here then... and put on a mask that you despise. I'm sorry that you had to go through that..." Nero leans over and gives Nox as supportive a hug as he possibly could.
"If this is how you feel, then it changes nothing. You're still the same Nox that's become my friend. All I can say... is that if you want, feel free to take off the mask that you hate so much when you're around me. Take a small break. I would happily accept the real you." Nero gave a supportive smile to Nox. If he could help, he couldn't be happier. Nero the Supportive Baker

Nox Tenebris on stage, front and center. ♡ | [attr="class","technoscroll"]❝ She shook her head when Nero spoke about how his leg was untreatable. When he mentioned an Ultimate Despair doing it, she felt a gnawing feeling crawl up her stomach and into her throat as she paled, the worry and care in her eyes for him only amplifying. "N-No, I'll pay for all of it, p-price doesn't matter, I swear!" She shouted, squeezing his hand. When he said they needed to have hope it was like a tiny weight was lifted, and a small gleam of light was seen in her eyes. "Y-yes! Exactly, yes!"
She was most startled, however, when he pulled her into a delicate hug. When he spoke those kind words to her she became complete puty, limp in his arms as her trembling arms wrapped around him, curling into the hug as if she was absolutely touch starved. She then... cried. Truly, genuinely cried. It was heart-wrenching, even harder than she had been earlier when he caught her walking in.
"...N-No one e-ever c-cared I've always been alone, Nero...! I've a-always been a-alone... even t-the companies who sponsor me, even m-my f-family j-just use me as a publicity grab and use m-me for either my a-appearance or reputation. I'm n-nothing without my t-talent, nothing w-worthy of any praise or attention or care... I have to be an Ultimate, I h-have to..." She then broke down into incoherent sobs, her words melding together and making no sense. She shook her head, trying to get a grip when it was clear she wasn't able to hold up her strong front anymore.
"D-Do you... r-really... w-want to s-see the real me...? Do you really s-see me... as a friend?" |
