Then at least rest a little. You don't have to call it sleep.

... I will. [ he sounds so sulky about it ] But we're getting locked in soon anyway.

I know. We're gonna grab some stuff and meet you back where everybody else is staying so we can be together.

... Promise?

[ :T ]

Dude, where else would we even go?

I don't know. [ said after a bit of hesitance because part of him wanted to go "offline" but 1) he doesnt. even know what that means 2) nico is....not..... an ai... anymore? ] You're right.

[ ...hm. ] I'll be here as long as you want me to be. I can promise you that much.

[ until curfew happens and they all get split up anyway :( ]

[ hums a little ]

I like having you around. [ there's a little touch because he likes it for two reasons right now which is he likes nico and also knowing nico is there physically helps with. realizing this shit wasn't real it's fine it's fine they get separated anyway!! ]

Very flattering, Ace. [ a gentle tease. ] Then I guess that settles it. You're stuck now, no takebacks or anything.

[ cyoa brain is so real and he does not fault him for this. ]
