Do I have to fight them? Can't I be friends with them?
[Nona brings out a selection of party hats and a single balloon. Noodle is at her heel, running around happily with all six of his legs. She puts one party hat on her head, lets the balloon float to the roof, and puts the rest down for others to grab.]
It's my birthday! My half birthday, anyway. Everyone here is invited. As my present I want everyone to be nice to me.
[She's still a little drained and she's looking a little tired, but she's happy.]

Nona!
[He grabs the hat, putting it in his mouth first before realizing that it's not a snack, then quickly attempting to fix his mistake. His hat has bite marks on it now, it's fine.]
Happy half-birthday. How old are you today?

My body is nineteen and a half. But. I've been Nona for exactly six months.
...Oh?
[The surprise is there, but mild. Satan had a similar situation, sort of... maybe it was something similar?]
I haven't met too many people with two ages. Who were you before you were Nona?

Nobody knows.
[She smiles, it's a little sad.]
I have no memories before I was Nona. Nobody knows who I was.
But I am Nona, so it doesn't matter right now.

I've never been to one! But I was planning a birthday party back home before I was kidnapped. I can't have it there so I'll have it here.
...
[He sighs, before leaning down to be more at her level.]
It doesn't.
I'm really glad you're Nona. I'm really glad we're friends. And I'm happy I can be here for your six month half-birthday.
Maybe we can go swimming soon, when we're not all locked up. Would you like that?

...
I would really love that, Beel. Thank you for being my friend, I love you.
[And if she's tearing up a little, well...]
I would really love that, Beel. Thank you for being my friend, I love you.
[And if she's tearing up a little, well...]
I love you, too. And you're welcome.
[Opening his arms. Come here, tiny one, you get a hug.]
[Opening his arms. Come here, tiny one, you get a hug.]
[Thinking emojiā¦]
I guess not, but is there one you think would be a better friend?
I guess not, but is there one you think would be a better friend?
I've never met a horse before. I think we would be the greatest of friends.
[Well, if itās a birthday party now, heāll put on a hat.]
Happy half birthday, I guess? It could be a better one, Iām sure.
[Being nice to someone is easy in theory but Haruka isā¦ challenged.]

Maybe. I'd love it if I could have my friends back home here, but considering the circumstances this is the best birthday party I could ever hope for.
[Her standards are so low. Her dream gift was rainbow hair ties, which Xiao already got for her.]

[She hugs him. He's warm. She squeezes her eyes shut and listens to his heart beat.]
I'm glad I was turned into a dodo.

The only horses Iāve ever met were copsā¦ I canāt imagine them being friendlyā¦

I'm glad you were, too.
[He'll hold her as long as she wants! She is birthday girl, she makes the rules.]
Did I ever tell you, Nona? You remind me a lot of my little sister.

[Nona doesn't know that her momdad was a cop.]
They let horses be cops??
They let horses be cops??
Yeah, itās like a whole thing? They also have human cops riding them, I guess, but I saw it both in Japan and Europeā¦
Just make āem throw you another party when you see them again. Thereās no reason you canāt have two parties. Or more!
[Every day can be a party, who cares.]
