[The Dreamberry broadcast sent a familiar feeling of pure hatred and anger toward Terumi through Ragna's body. There's obviously no bounds Terumi wouldn't cross, Ragna knew this. Seeing exactly what happened to Noel by Terumi's hands, however. Damn him. Damn that... degenerate son of a BITCH.]
[He only saw Noel slightly from where her Dreamberry was placed, so he couldn't tell the area all that well. But he knew needed to get to her.]

[That voice... Slowly, Noel glances towards the Dreamberry, but she doesn't make any effort to pick it up. What's this all of a sudden, anyway? Didn't he say that he didn't want to talk?]
Ragna... Ragna, I...
[She... what? Noel is only a thing. Who cared where she was? She hugs her knees and buries her face into her arms, mumbling.]
[Hell if she knows. It's been a week in her time, too. So many things have been going on that she doesn't recognize her own location. So... She doesn't answer that.
When she hears the next part, however... She dully fires his response from that time right back at him:]
[At first, there are no words to speak in regards to her dream. It takes a moment before all the thoughts and emotions in Jin's mind sort themselves out, and even then, it's difficult to think clearly. There was too much information to take in, so many things had occurred in such a short span of time... but it was just a dream, wasn't it? Somehow that explanation didn't sit well with him; this couldn't have been a dream, but a memory; a memory of something that had yet to occur, at least for Jin
( ... )
[Who else had Captain Hazama corrupted? Why... The answer would be you, Jin. Not that it matters at the moment.
On reflex, Noel's body flinches when she hears the voice that inexplicably gave her much discomfort. Slowly, she glances at her Dreamberry screen, though she makes no effort to pick it up from the ground. It's... The Endbringer---No, that's not it. He hasn't tapped into the Power of Order just yet. Noel could observe it with her eyes. Still, eventually... He was going to truly be her enemy.]
Major... Kisaragi. [She manages to address him, her voice a bit cracked as if she hadn't used it for years.] I... you're right. Maybe I... should just disappear...
[As soon as her voice filters through the Dreamberry, his stomach turns. Weak. Pathetic. He hated everything about that voice of hers. As she spoke the words he'd once used to describe her, he couldn't help but feel disgusted. He gritted his teeth; it was going to take every fiber of his being to not snap at this girl. What was he trying to accomplish by helping her?]
Just shut up. [He glares at the screen, hands coiling into fists.] Are you really going to lie there and wallow in dispair? Get up.
[That's right... The reason Noel went through all this trouble, from constantly chasing Jin to resolving to kill Hazama... It was all for Tsubaki's sake.]
She'd... probably worry about me. Though I'm not even worth it...
[Why does it even matter? Why is she still even talking to Jin, anyway?]
[All of what he'd seen had been a lot to take in and it was... truly heartwrenching for him. His expression soon stiffens and darkens out of worry and though off-screen, his hands clench into fists rather tightly.
Yes, before he might not have known her all that well but all of what happened to her... nobody deserved to have that happen to them like that. What... she went through was a lot to witness even from here but for her was so much... more. ]
Noel!! I... Snap out of it!
[A pause]
Where are you?
[That look in her eyes and seeing those tears... he wanted to stop them. She was a nice girl and well.. he didn't want her to be feeling like that]
[What did it matter where she is? She's only a weapon... A puppet. No one should care about her. It's just a wasted effort... Still, why did she recognize that voice? Slowly, her hand reaches out to pick up the Dreamberry, to get a better look at the face on the screen.]
You're... Oz.
[She states that dully as a fact, rather than showing any indication that she's happy to see him. It seems like what had happened broke her enough to be detached from all her emotions, except for despair.
It's then she notices the sapphire blue of her NOL uniform's sleeve. Confused, Noel glances down at her free hand. This... clearly wasn't the pure white suit of Mu-12-.]
...? Why am I... Why am I still 'Noel'?
[Hadn't she been tempered into the Godslaying Sword Kusanagi? Or had 'Noel' been cast into the world of Somarium because that side of her wasn't needed anymore? Still...]
I... I... Don't worry about me, Oz. I... don't deserve it.
[It just... rouses something in him. Seeing her like this.
He can't explain what it is but... seeing her so blank and detached from her emotions when she speaks, even questioning her own existence. Painful. That's what it is; that feeling tugging at his heart.
Oz grimaced a bit before he shook his head.]
You DO deserve it, Noel.
I know there's a lot of people who care for you here. I didn't get to spend much time with you but from even then, I could tell you're a great person. That's not going to change.
['Person'. Noel already learned that such a word did not describe herself. Back then she had probably been aware of it, but had kept herself in denial. Now though... There was no way she could escape from the truth.]
B-But... You've seen it yourself... what I've become. I'm not even a person... And... I was about to destroy everything in my world. How can a thing like that deserve anyone's concern...?
[Funny how the very first thing Elliot had felt was a sense of utter relief the moment he saw the notification about the dream. No matter how he tried to deny it to himself, living without Noel would have been boring.
He never expected how drastically his excitement would swing right into complete horror. As he watched, the less he understood and the less he wanted to understand, the more he wanted to shut the Dreamberry off and throw it across the room. Rage bubbled up inside of him, as he watched. It wasn't at Noel, and not at himself for totally missing the signs about what Noel really was.
That SNAKE!
Whoever that man, Hazama, Terumi... Whoever the hell he was, Elliot had never wanted to kill someone as much as he did in that moment. What he was doing would have been bad no matter who he was doing it to, but even worse, he did it to Noel!]
[If only it were normal circumstances, she would have instantly cried and blubbered for him to help her. Tragically, this is far from normal. Though tears were being shed, Noel turning to look down at her Dreamberry showed just how mentally damaged she is from the revelations of what she truly is. She's broken to the point that she's detached from any emotion that wasn't despair or fear.]
E-Elliot...
[Seeing his face, she should have been relieved. However, she instead couldn't help but wonder... If she wasn't a person, then did that mean her feelings for him were fake too? No... He didn't deserve something like that. Her blank expression turns into a more pained one as she averts her gaze.]
[Later, he wouldn't believe what he was saying, but in the moment, he couldn't question it. His gut was saying run with what he wanted to say, so he ran with it.]
I've known you for more then a year, and not once have I ever even noticed. Who cares if you're made, or whatever! You're you! No matter what, you're still the same Noel Vermillion that I know, and don't you DARE let anyone ever tell you you're not!
[That manages to get Noel to respond with a small gasp of surprise. A very small one, brief and nearly inaudible, but... It certainly was there.]
Even if you say that, you saw everything, didn't you? What I turned into? I... I'm going to kill everyone in my world... How can you say that if I'm something so horrible?
Noel isn't... even human? Leo quite honestly has no idea whatsoever to think about that. It's so... surreal somehow, to know there are others who are... different, maybe he should say, just like him. It's... really strange.
He almost feels a little numb, thinking about it and trying to work out how to feel about this.
So perhaps he should just... check on her, and leave that for later. Or never think about it again.]
[Not human at all. That completely explained just why there was a girl running around with Noel's face... Because Noel is just another copy. Just another puppet created for some purpose. Hers being to destroy everything alive in her own world.
It's obvious how much mental damage this revelation had done to Noel when she turns to glance down at the Dreamberry. It's almost as if she lost her very soul. It only takes a few minutes to recognize the person on the other line... It's only been a week, after all.]
... Ever since that time, I knew there was something wrong with me... But I always tried to run away from that fact. Though now... I can't do that anymore.
[Her hands go up to cover her face as she tries to hold back sobs.]
[Even in normal circumstances, she probably apologized way more than he did.
Though Leo has every right not to like the currently situation, because it really is terrible. After all, the mild-mannered girl who tried so hard to befriend him turned out to not be human. Even worse, she had become her world's enemy.
Noel attempts to explain herself, despite all the crying she's doing.]
If I... If only I knew that I was so dangerous, I... I wouldn't have gotten so close to you and Elliot...

Like Elliot thinks he apologises needlessly.
