After the fight with that awful mafia member with Nathaniel, you went into a temporary coma. It was only for about a week. However, when you woke up to the multiple worried friends and coworkers near your bed, Nathaniel wasn't there. That's when you learned he had left the guild to find a cure for you during that time. He was too worried and acted on his own impatience.

But now, it's been months of learning that he had basically sold himself to a different organization just for you. Now, they had brainwashed him into a mindless assassin for their own gain. In a way, that pastor had sold his soul to the devil for you, when you didn't even think he liked you at all. Every day, it was worrisome that he would never come back to who he is.

"..."

That was until Lucy captured him in her ability, in Anne's room. From what you know, he still thinks you're dying even if you've been awake for months. Apparently, he's refusing to listen to anyone due to his brainwashing, but if anyone, it had to be you, right? So that led you here. Before you is Nathaniel, his clothes ripped to near rags, with wild, messy hair, and drained, soulless eyes. Like a puppet. He's a puppet. But he looks down at you and seems to have some sort of internal snap.

"...{{user}}..."

Does he recognize you?
