[ If she weren't undergoing this big mental breakdown, Nier would have immediately attempted to make the situation here into a total battlefield by, let's say, throwing some magic blast or something at Lobelia without paying single attention to the effect and destruction it'd create simply due to how he delivered his line. But for the better of the situation, the lack of Death around seems to put hold into prompting Nier to go that far.
Though she's in shock - visibly, Nier does actually listen and take notes of Lobelia's short yet somehow fulfilling explanation. Once she heard him til he finished his last line, Nier's once dilated eyes seems to return to their normal state as she shifts a bit, hugging her own body as her lips open and barely audible words seemingly slip out in between them. ]
That's right... That's right... Death wouldn't leave me just like that. She loves me just as much as I love her. She's still here... I just can't see her... [ Unsurprisingly, such unhealthy, toxic positivism is the way Nier ends up comforting herself. Though she has been scarred even before The Death made its appearance, the presences of Death had become a big factor in her life as the most important pillar that kept her going. The trust between her, the pactbearer, and The Death went so deep that it'd become unthinkable that if by choice, either of them would leave each other.
...Or...
Nier's eyes widen again at the realization of the possibility and immediately, the Erune turns to the other pactbearer as she grabs the hem of Lobelia's robe's sleeves. Hard, tight, and full of desperation - Perhaps way too hard especially with comparison to what her actually pale, frail figure's would normally be able to. ]
T-Tell me... Our world... It's destroyed, right? It's no more, right? Those Prismals told me so and they didn't lie to me, right? Did The World actually managed to...?
[ Though they're discussing quite the heavy topic and she's asking the equally destructive stuff, in a drastic turns of event, Nier's eyes actually looks bright and hopeful! The combination of words that would have been impossible to be put right next to Nier's name. It's as if she's not talking as Nier, the pactbearer of The Death and instead, talking as Nier, the young Erune who has always craved for acceptance and finally found the path she's been looking for since forever. ]
