Narrator:Nikolai has been wondering how to help rehabilitate Guilty, without getting hurt, for the rest of the day. The next morning, he was still contemplating about what he'll do for the next session.

Nikolai(mind):Ok, the main issue here is Guilty's trust issues. Y/N got her to trust him because of his persistence and strength, by coming back for another session after getting injured by her. I've only got one of those traits, so I need to find a way that doesn't involve getting injured.

Nikolai:"There's got to be some way, right?"

*Nikolai kept thinking it over*

Nikolai(mind):How would I show my persistence in a different way? I think the main reason why Guilty trusted Y/N was because he kept coming back to their sessions. I could do that, but it would probably take a while for her to get the idea.

Nikolai:"Hmm...so how do I convince Guilty that I want to continue having sessions with her?"

*Nikolai walked through the outpost, and was too deep in thought to notice Anis calling his name*

Anis:"Nikolai? Hey, can you hear me?!"

Neon:"I didn't mean right away, Anis. Stop-"

*Anis smacked Nikolai in the back of the head, which finally got his attention*

Nikolai:"Ow! Oh, Anis. What's up?"

Anis:"Is something wrong, Nikolai? I've been trying to get your attention."

Nikolai:"Really? I-I guess I was that lost in thought."

Neon:"He must be thinking about something important, like firepower! See, we shouldn't bother him, Anis."

Anis:"Oh, can it! You're only saying this because you're embarrassed for what I'm about to say."

Neon:"Stop!"

Nikolai:"What is it?"

Anis:"Well, Nikolai. Since you have been on a date with both me and Rapi. Neon was hoping that you would go on one with her."

Neon:"That's not it! It's just...Anis was pitying me. That's right! She felt sorry that I haven't gone on a date with you, so she wanted to ask you for me."

Anis:"..."

Nikolai:"..."

Neon:"..."

Anis:"That doesn't sound much better though."

Neon:"I know..."

Nikolai:"So you want to go on a date?"

Neon:"Y-Yes! Later today would be the best."

Anis:"Why not now?"

Neon:"Because I need to reach peak firepower for the date."

Anis:"You're just nervous."

Neon:"You were nervous for your date too!"

Anis:"No, I wasn't..."

Nikolai(mind):Where's Rapi when you need her...

Nikolai:"W-Well, I'll gladly go on a date with you, Neon."

Neon:"...Success."

Nikolai:"Huh?"

Anis:"Ignore her. We'll see you last today."

Neon:"You aren't coming with us, Anis!"

Anis:"I know that, it's 'your' date!"

*Neon and Anis continued arguing while they walked away from Nikolai*

Nikolai(mind):Maybe that was a sign for me to stop overthinking things.

*Nikolai continued walking around the outpost, and made it back to his dorm*

Nikolai:"Huh...I have a date with Neon later today then..."

Nikolai(mind):I have a date with Neon later today?!

*Nikolai panicked and opened up his wardrobe, he started picking an outfit when he heard a knock on his door*

Nikolai:"Yes? Who is it?"

*Rapi opens the door, and let's herself in*

Rapi:"It's Rapi."

Nikolai:"Oh, hey Rapi. What's up?"

Rapi:"I just came back from a mission. Anis told me that you have a date with Neon tonight, is this true?"

Nikolai:"Yep, and I'm preparing."

Rapi:"Oh, I'll take my leave then."

Nikolai:"Wait, Rapi. Can you help pick an outfit?"

Rapi:"You want my opinion?"

Nikolai:"Of course, better than my own. Plus, you know Neon more than I do. Help me pick something that'll empress."

Rapi:"I didn't think you'd put this much effort into a date."

Nikolai:"I did for you and Anis."

Rapi:"...Alright then, I'll help."

Nikolai:"Thank you!"

*Nikolai changed in his bathroom, and tried on multiple different outfits, and Rapi judged each of them*

Rapi:"That looks good, Nikolai."

Nikolai:"Really? Alright then. I'll wear it for the date then."

*Nikolai changed back into his normal outfit, and sat on his bed*

Nikolai:"Phew...thanks again, Rapi."

Rapi:"No need for thanks, Nikolai. I hope your date goes well."

*Nikolai looked at Rapi, and saw a troubled expression on her face*

Nikolai:"Is something wrong, Rapi?"

Rapi:"Huh? Everything's ok, Nikolai."

Nikolai:"You sure?"

Rapi:"Yes...it's just...the mission I went on, I was specifically requested to go with the commander."

Nikolai:"Did anything bad happen?"

Rapi:"Just...working with the commander made me remember great memories."

Nikolai(mind):Oh, the commander that went with her was Y/N. Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever been told anything about him or what he has gone through.

Rapi:"However, those memories are in the past. My commander has changed, and my old one is now incredibly busy."

Nikolai:"I see, did you two talk?"

Rapi:"Only through orders. He is a commander of little words."

Nikolai(mind):Huh...weird, makes him look like a video game character.

Rapi:"Regardless, I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, Nikolai."

Nikolai:"Yeah, no problem..."

Nikolai(mind):She's clearly hiding something. Could I be the problem? I'm keeping her from being with her old commander...right?

Rapi:"I hope you have a good day, Nikolai."

*Rapi leaves Nikolai's room*

Nikolai(mind):I want to think about it more, but I told myself this morning that I should stop overthinking.

Nikolai:"So I'll stop thinking, and just wait until my date with Neon."

*Nikolai got lunch, and waited for his date to start*

Narrator:Third date with Neon coming up, so stay tuned for that!
