How about "The Orden"? That's what we usually call it for short.

[And boy, he sure is jumping to conclusions]

I said it sounds LIKE a book you'd find in there, not that I know for sure it was. Most likely, that book came from a different world than mine, so it was never in the library to begin with.

Orden then.

[ Jumping to conclusions is what he does best! Somehow Nier survived his med program while being a slow learner. He worked hard to make up for his weaknesses. So he might have to take time to understand this whole multiverse and magical realms thing too. ]

Oh....[ There's like a 5 min pause between his next messages because he finally understands it! Nier is having his moment of realization.]

A different world. I understand it now.

You're a genius!

Huh?

How am I a genius?

Because! You figured out that the book might have come from a different library.

I would have never thought of that.

[ magic isn't his area of expertise so he thinks that Jun is a genius in that topic. ]

[... 💧 ]

Different world, Nier. Not different library. I'm not from THIS Earth.

Differnet world then, okay.

Don't you want to go back to your own earth?

Of course I do! I have a life to get back to.

I just haven't figured out HOW yet.

You can't be stuck here forever. There has to be some way to get you back home.I'm sure of it.

What kind of life did you live before?

I bet it's different from what's going on here.

Well I lived in a nicer apartment for one. My living allowance with the Orden is much better than what I get paid as a maid.

Besides that, in a sense- there's a lot of similarities to what I'm doing now. Seal Knights are sent to places with reported supernatural incidents. Once we're there, we do our best to blend in with the locals - all while doing what we can to resolve the incidents without drawing attention to ourselves. Once everything is resolved, we move onto the next place.

Normally though, I handle cases in Japan. There's other Seal Knights who typically handle America. And I'd have a lot more access to resources through the Orden, while I don't have anything like that here.

Huh. That must be hard for you. I don't know what kind of things you experienced in this other world but you had a lot of jobs to do. You're helping people like me all the time.

Having no resources or even your other knights to fall back on...doesn't that make you feel lonely?

[ Nier thinks that Jun might miss his old companions and his fellow knights a lot. He's trying to sympathize with the situation to the best of his ability. ]

"Helping people like you" might be putting it strongly. Most possession cases end in the death of the possession victim. You were lucky it didn't come to that.

[And ah. That question. He pauses a little, because there's people he misses- but it isn't the other knights. But he does know that's a very complicated question that he has trouble vocalize how he feels about it (besides there's a weird feeling in his chest) so he'll just...evade]

Not sure. I haven't thought about it much.

Back then I had already accepted my death. Dying didn't seem scary to me and I thought it might come to that.

At any rate, I'm alive because you didn't abandon me.

[ It was a really close call. So Nier didn't die or end up hurting more people because of the possession. He's not alone and as long as he has friends he'll be fine. ]

You have plenty of time to think about things now. If you ever need someone to talk to just know I'm here for you.

[......

Jun is too socially inept to know how to respond to these sincere and kind words. Help. He wants to crawl under a rock.]

Haha...I told you, it's Noah that deserves that praise.

But thank you. I'll keep that in mind.

Noah did a good job too. Your combined efforts made a difference.

[ Crawling under a rock sounds like a good idea right about now. ]

I think for now I'll just rest and try to recover. That possession messed with my head a little.

Try to take it easy, alright? You ran around fighting like crazy.

[Yeah just gonna dodge that praise there because he can!!]

Hm, get as much rest as you can. You went through quite an ordeal.

Don't worry, I know to rest after a mission. I'm relaxing as I can.
