“Doesn’t matter, it’ll be over, and you’ll move on.” You believe this bit of the story doesn’t matter. It’s all about Nina’s journey to self-healing.
“Yes, you’re right. I won’t have to preoccupy my thoughts on her.” Nina comes to terms with the fact she’s overthinking it. “Thank you, Johnny. It’s such a simple thing to say, but it doesn’t make it any less meaningful.”
“That’s what I‘m here for, baby.” You believe it’s time for the finger bangs. For every one normal thing you say, you must do or say three that you consider cool, like the finger bangs.
“Don’t… call me <span class="mu-i">baby</span>.” Nina feels conflicted with your terminology.
“What does Billy call you again? Madam of eccentric hair? Should I go with that, instead?” You raise an eyebrow.
“Johnny, as a teacher, I deal with enough nicknames already. Don’t add more to the pile...” Nina didn’t want to remember that.
“What if I call you <span class="mu-i">cute</span> again? You love that, don’t you?” You wiggle them eyebrows.
“D-Drop it, and let’s move on.” Nina gets a tiny bit flustered. She’s learning that if she doesn’t engage, you will shut up.
“I know I can come up with a fun nickname for you, <span class="mu-i">Fluff ball</span>.” You wink.
“D-Don’t call me <span class="mu-i">Fluff ball</span>! T-That’s not endearing in the slightest!” Nina is upset.
“I’ll keep trying for you!” You have decided! “Maybe I need to talk with Yu. She’s good at this.”
“N-No! No, you don’t have to!” Nina doesn’t want this! But you can tell she’s enjoying it!
After some piss poor attempts to bestow a fitting nickname to the lovely teacher with puffy hair. You made your intentions clear that you want to have a conversation with Henry to bury the hatchet before going on the mission. Due to Oliver’s tardiness, Nina suggested for you two to have a meeting earlier near the spot at the subway station nearest to the Stadium. Oliver will join you once she gets a hold of him. Since Bradford Jr. is with you, he’ll become Nina’s eyes in the operation using the same technology used during Judgment Day to survey the clinic!
You left the curvy teacher at her battle station and with your gargantuan cat on your shoulder, you make haste to the meeting point. And yes, you informed Henry through George again in a brief call. Which led you to wait at the station for a bit, because… well… you should’ve told Henry earlier so he could’ve gotten there sooner.
Anyway, you are waiting for the leader of the Green Shield to show up at the station...
“George said you wanted to hash out things, whatever that means, so here I am.” Henry is not his usual friendly self. “You wanna test me or something?”
