In this installment, Kalil and Beepy race through the desert to avoid getting eaten. Well, Kalil, at least. I think the wovles have enough iron in their diet already :) Wasn't sure if the dead wolves at the end constituted a T rating, but you can never be too safe, right?

What do you do when you can't sleep, in a world of endless daylight? It's a matter that has plagued Weiss since waking up in this strange new world. He soon discovers, however, that Yonah sometimes has much the same problem. They pass the time together, while Nier sleeps, trying to stave off boredom for themselves and one another. Weiss learns a little more about them both.

The adventure continues, as we follow some of Kalil and P-33's desert experiences. Those scorpions sure are persistent, huh? I decided to change the rating to T, sicne Nier swears at the beginning in this chapter. Better safe then sorry.

I just hated how Kalil and P-33 died in the game, so I decided to write this story to make myself feel better, mostly. Edit: Since all the other chapters since this one have been T rated, I'm changing the rating on this one to T to keep things consistent. I also changed the second genre from Fanatsy to Sci-Fi just 'cause.

She hoped Emil would be strong enough for himself. She knew she wouldn't be able to stay with him much longer.

In a dying world, Dynra must fight for his life and confront his terrible past if he wishes to survive.
