[He starts with a serious face, but also very....very tense.] Responsibilities first.

I need my baton back, give it to Rose, she knows how to get it to me.

Also don't share any information you might remember about my kwami, I use that to tear Papillon's games down. Any Miraculous knowledge you retained would probably be best to keep to yourself.

[And then....his shoulders slump, glancing away, then looking at the screen again, remorse on his face.]

I was Renard.

I....I don't know if you want to hear an apology, or an explanation, or...or if you just want me to stay as far away as possible from you without compromising safety. [It's as close as he can get to not lying. Adrien has to stay close for the safety of identities. But also safety of protection because he'll do that whether or not Nino hates him.]

What happened was...I can't just pretend it's like when I get possessed. I didn't have dark voices or my emotions flipped or something like that. I was still a sane, rational person, and I made those choices.

So I can understand if it's not something you can forgive or even want to entertain letting me try to...even make it up a little bit.

[Oh good, he was gonna contact him himself so that makes things easier. Seeing the guilt on Chat's face does make his heart hurt. Yeah he did a bad thing as Renard, but that's the storm's fault.] Sure though it would be just easier if I got it to you myself. [He nods.] Don't worry, my lips are sealed. I know how it is. [He makes a "zipping" motion across his lips. He does however make a serious face as well.] I figured as much. It wasn't that hard to put two and two together. To be honest, it did hurt that not only somebody I looked up to but my best friend tried to kill me. But then I realized that, if it weren't for the storm, that would have never happened. Most of us weren't ourselves and I know you would never do that normally. [His expression then turns into a smile.] I forgive ya, bro.

[Honestly, he has a lot of feelings going on, but there's one thing that sticks out and he blurts out the question before he.could think twice.]

I thought Adrien was your best friend?

[Derails the guilt train for a minute, at least.]

[Video]

[djbubbles]

[Nino makes a look that practically reads "are you serious?" Way to kill the mood there Chat.] Dude, I know it's you. You have the same ring I wore during the storm. You disappear a lot. There was that time you supposely took a shower when an Akuma was after your dad, but if it's similiar to what happened in that...other life, you actually went out to stop him, right? You smell like cheese a lot. It all adds up. Plus in a way, I was in your shoes as Chat. I remember having to do a lot of that, along with having to give Plagg that awful Camembert. [Sorry Chat but he's figured it out.]

November 1st, way too late for a sane person to text, Chat Line

[modelcatizen]

Top floor of Big Ben, now.

[djbubbles]

[Welp. He was actually sleeping but guess he's gotta get out of bed. Must be something serious if Adrien's waking him up so early.] Will be ASAP. [He does his best to get dressed as quick as possible.]

[One day Nino will learn how much of a dramatic nerd Adrien is and tonight is a good start.[

Chat Line/Locked

[modelcatizen]

Akuma. Meet me by Furman's.

[Chat Line/Locked]

[djbubbles]

[Dammit! He knew an Akuma would show up after his mess-up and now he was right. This is his fault. He was sleeping so he didn't see Three's post, at least not yet.] Heading right there now.

Re: [Chat Line/Locked]

[modelcatizen]

Nino.

Keep your head on straight.

[He can hear your gears turning.]

This is going to be hard if Other Bug doesn't show up, but we have ways to deal with this. It's just a little harder, especially with minions.

Game face, head clear.

[Chat Line/Locked]

[djbubbles]

R-right. [He'll do his best to focus. Even if at least to distract himself from the guilt of having caused this Akuma to happen. He hasn't told Adrien about when he caused Copycat in that AU yet. Though honestly, his confidence is rather shaken so who knows how well he'll be able to fight.]

April 13 voice...

[followthatladybug]

Nino. If you get this message, please call me back! I just want to make sure you're okay.

April 21st

[djbubbles]

[It would be a little more than a week before she would get an answer. Even if she was there to greet Nino once he came back to life on the 20th.

He debated not answering at all, especially since she knows that he died. But ultimately he figured he might as well even if it's a moot point. Plus it would be up to her if she answered back or not.]

I...

I'm so sorry.

Re: April 21st

[followthatladybug]

[She was glad he answered, and at the same time was worried.]

Nino. You don't have to apologize.

Re: April 21st

[djbubbles]

[She has reason to worry as he didn't sleep a wink last night, though it's not so obvious thanks to the make-up Adrien put on him.]

I do though for hurting everyone.

I immediately regret not being more firm on not doing the public apology.

I'm playing strict teacher, sorry bro.

[Text]

[djbubbles]

It's okay. I knew when I came up with that story, I would get yelled at by my lady. If I can handle her scolding me, I can handle strict teacher.

Re: [Text]

[modelcatizen]

I think we may need a rule that Deux can't do public announcements of any form unless it's an Akuma warning.

[Text]

[djbubbles]

Yeah though even then, I imagine some people like that kid would not listen to me. I think I'm poison at this point.

[Part of him wonders if he should give up this superhero thing, but he won't. Chat and Bandanna need him.]

[daydreamshimmer]

Hey, it's Sunset.

I figured yesterday was a personal day of sorts.

But if you need to talk, the door's always open.

[Text]

[djbubbles]

[Well that's a pleasant surprise. Much better than Papillion's usual harassment.]

Thanks, I'm better now.

I spent the day yesterday with Adrien and Spark, which really helped.

Re: [Text]

[daydreamshimmer]

[Sometimes the nice empath can say hi.]

That's good to hear.

It sounds like you have good friends then. Bad days like that are usually better to spend with friends if you can stand the company.

[bigbadrose]

Hey, it's Rose.

I know this might be pretty inadequate all things considered, but um! If you need to talk, or vent, or rage, I promise I won't do the annoying adult or big sister thing and try to fix it. I'll just listen, yeah?

If you need it. No pressure though! Love you, don't do anything reckless, okay? Just have fun today! Even if it's hard. And it's okay for it to be hard too! And we can do something fun like laser tag or pizza if you want.

Okay, that's all.

[djbubbles]

[He had spent the day with Adrien and so he didn't see this, despite seeing Papillion's harassing message.]

Thanks Rose. I spent the day yesterday with Adrien and Spark, which really helped. We mostly played music badly to help me break my artist's block finally, but at least Adrien playing some piano was nice. Kinda surprised we didn't drive Mr. Agreste nuts.

April 14th

[bigbadrose]

Sounds great!

Mm, I think he has portions soundproofed, actually. But that's not me tellin' you so you can try to figure out just how much you can get away with, yeah? [Yes, it is.]
