Narrator:Nikolai was called in and told to head to the rehabilitation center to help counsel another criminal Nikke. Let's see who he has to help.

*Nikolai arrives at the rehabilitation center, and saw Mana waiting for him there*

Nikolai:"Hey, Mana. Ok, so who am I rehabilitating this time?"

Mana:"Here."

*Mana handed a file to Nikolai. He looked at the mug shot, and recognized the face*

Nikolai(mind):She's one of the two girls I could've chose before I decided on Quency.

Nikolai:"What's her name again?"

Mana:"Inmate 13-0803, named Guilty. Charged with aggravated assault, she hospitalized 40 allied Nikke with just her bare hands. She possesses strength that far exceeds any other Nikke. Humans are nothing compared to her."

Nikolai:"Oh, right. Her..."

Nikolai(mind):I have to counsel a female hulk!

Nikolai:"Wait, wasn't another inmate that I could choose?"

Mana:"Unfortunately, one of the counselors under her mind-control busted her out. We are currently in the middle of retrieving her back."

Nikolai:"W-Wait, there's a criminal loose?!"

Mana:"Don't worry, she won't have a minute of freedom without us bringing her right back."

Nikolai(mind):That's right, the other girl has mind-controlling powers that she uses to hypnotize her counselors into freeing her.

Mana:"Even if you wanted to switch, she's currently getting extra jail time."

Nikolai:"It's fine. Let's go with the strong girl instead."

Nikolai(mind):That means the last one is going to be the scariest one. I'm pretty sure Quency was the easiest, and I still failed. Why would they trust me with a stronger criminal?

Mana:"Your first counseling session will start now. Of course, this session will be monitored. So we'll make sure nothing bad happens to you."

Nikolai(mind):That's somewhat comforting, at least.

Mana:"And one more thing before you enter. Under no circumstances should you remove her restraints."

Nikolai(mind):That's an order, not a suggestion. How dangerous is she?!

*Nikolai entered the counseling room, and saw a heavily restrained girl at the counseling table*

Nikolai(mind):So this is Guilty?

*Nikolai takes a seat across from Guilty. There's a moment of silence before Nikolai decides to speak*

Nikolai:"Uh...hello."

Guilty:"!"

Nikolai:"My name's Nikolai Rolan, and I'm going to be your new counselor."

Guilty:"Your my new counselor? Why? Why would they send another one?"

Nikolai:"Huh? What does you mean?"

Guilty:"I didn't think anyone would be my counselor. Have they not told you what I did to the other ones."

Nikolai:"Uh...n-no, what happened?"

Guilty:"They sent 5 this time, each one was immediately sent to the hospital. Before my previous release I injured 10 counselors before that commander came along."

Nikolai:"That commander..."

Nikolai(mind):So Guilty still remembers Commander Y/N. I guess, getting put back into solitary confinement was hard for her.

Guilty:"You know him?"

*Guilty stared into Nikolai's eyes*

Nikolai:"Yes, I do. I was requested to be your counselor because I have a similar personality to his."

Guilty:"Similar personality...ah."

*Guilty suddenly averts her gaze away from Nikolai*

Guilty:"No, you're not like him. You're not on my side."

Nikolai(mind):What is she talking about? I guess she's another person who thinks I'm different from commander Y/N.

*Nikolai looked at Guilty's restraints, as she started mumbling to herself*

Guilty:"It's not fair. Now I'm back in this place. I hate it here, so much..."

Nikolai:"Are you ok, Guilty?"

Guilty:"What do you plan to do with me?"

Nikolai:"Huh? What do you mean?"

Guilty:"How are you going to counsel me?"

Nikolai:"Um..."

Nikolai(mind):I never really thought about it, so...

Nikolai:"Whatever you want to do."

Guilty:"!"

*Guilty's eyes meet with Nikolai's*

Guilty:"Ah."

*She then looks away**

Guilty:"No, he's not like him. He's not on my side..."

Nikolai:"Huh? Guilty?"

Guilty:"I don't want to go back."

Nikolai:"Go back where?"

Guilty:"Back to solitary confinement, it's so uncomfortable in there."

Nikolai:"I see..."

Nikolai(mind):I should learn more about Guilty. Let's start with...

Nikolai:"Do you mind telling me why you got put into solitary confinement?"

Guilty:"I...I hurt someone. They told me that they could handle my strength, and I got a little too excited. I ended up injuring them."

Nikolai(mind):With that kind of strength, I can see why that person got hurt. I guess the main issue is her strength itself.

Nikolai:"I see, so you didn't mean to hurt them?"

Guilty:"N-No..."

Nikolai:"You didn't think you would hurt them, I think I get it."

Guilty:"Huh?"

Nikolai:"You just need to learn control your strength."

Guilty:"Control my strength, huh..."

Nikolai:"Yeah, I think I've got an idea on how you can practice-"

Guilty:"You're lying."

Nikolai:"Huh?"

Guilty:"I can't control my strength, I never could. Even the counselor who rehabilitated me couldn't get me to control my strength."

Nikolai:"R-Really?"

Guilty:"You're just trying to give me false hope, I'm going to be stuck here until I'm reduced to scrap."

Nikolai:"No, I won't that happen."

Guilty:"I don't believe you...I'm done talking with you."

*Guilty turns away from Nikolai*

Nikolai(mind):Oh, I get it. She has trust issues, but what made her like this? I guess I can't exactly determine why she doesn't trust me.

Nikolai:"Ok then, we'll continue this discussion next time then."

Guilty:"Lies, you're not coming back."

Nikolai:"I will, I promise I will."

Guilty:"..."

*Nikolai gets up, and leaves the counseling room. As he goes to leave the center, Mana stops him*

Mana:"Nice work, commander Nikolai. You've survived your first rehabilitation day with Guilty."

Nikolai:"T-Thanks, I was really nervous when she talked about how many counselors she sent to the hospital."

Mana:"I understand. If you don't want to continue with the rehabilitation then-"

Nikolai:"Huh? What do you mean? I promised to come back for her, so I'll continue with the rehabilitation."

Mana:"Are you sure, commander?"

Nikolai:"Yes, I'm positive."

NIkolai(mind):I'm just starting to understand her, I can't leave her like this.

Mana:"I see, then let me know when you want to schedule the next counseling session."

Nikolai:"I will. Thanks, Mana!"

*Nikolai left the rehabilitation center, and went back to his dorm*

Nikolai:"It's getting pretty late, I should head to sleep now."

*Nikolai laid in his bed, and fell asleep*

Narrator:Nikolai now has another criminal to rehabilitate. Stay tuned for what happens next...next time!

Hey bros, it's me, the author! The second rehabilitation story has started, and I have no other announcements for the story. In-game, I just got over the level 160 wall thanks to Maiden, Rei, Laplace, Volume, and Julia. Now I've been waiting for the next event to start later. Anyway, here's the meme of the week:

And I'll see you guys next time!
