The hour or two that 6O had wanted to wait for the sky to darken did not take long at all to pass and before everyone knew it it was already ten o clock in the evening and the perfect time to go up onto the roof and look up at the stars and moon, something that the group of friends had done almost every month. A tradition if you could call it that.

"I'm gonna go up to the roof now. You all coming?" 6O asked and everyone besides A2 who was sleeping nodded their heads and got up.

"Yeah we're coming." Devola said as put her phone back into her pocket then walked over to the door.

"I'm bringing a blanket it's kinda cold." Popola mumbled as she grabbed one of 6O's blankets then walked over out the door to catch up with everyone else.

Once on the roof Popola laid down her blanket and sat down with Devola while 2B and Nines took their seats on a bench and stared up at the sky, looking at all the stars and the large moon glowing in the sky. Once again like a broken record the sickening nostalgia feeling washed over the group and left them all with a bitter taste in their mouth as they felt a multitude of emotions that's origins could not be remembered.

"I can't really enjoy this. Stupid nostalgic feeling." Nines was the first to speak about the feeling and everyone nodded in agreement with him.

"We kept quiet about it at first, but yeah... we've been feeling the same thing you have. Odd memories, dreams, whatever they are, headaches and all." Devola said and Nines cracked a small smile as his suspicions about whether the twins were involved were confirmed and he could add them to his list of people connected to the strangeness that was this last week.

"I sorta thought so but I didn't say anything since I wasn't sure if you were experiencing the same thing." Nines said and Devola chuckled.

"So who else have you confirmed?" Devola asked and Nines counted out the people in his head for a second before responding.

"Six so far. Me, 2B, you, Popola, A2, Teno and 6O." Nines replied and Devola sighed.

"I can't quite remember them but I swear I've seen the flower in 2B's hair but the memories are so fuzzy they almost don't exist. That and Popola and I keep having these feelings of guilt and nostalgia. Like we did something horrible and regret it... I can't put it into words but it just eats away at us for a few seconds before disappearing. Are we actually feeling anything or are we slowly going insane?" Devola asked and Nines shrugged.

"I don't know but this is going to drive me insane unless I figure out what's going on with our heads. Just like you said: Weird memories or dreams and nostalgic or deje vu like feelings that can't be explained." Nines said and Devola nodded in agreement.

"Em... il..." Nines looked over after hearing 2B mumble something he couldn't quite make out and he noticed that 2B was rocking back and forth just slightly and her eyes had that dull, detached look as she stared up at the moon.

"What was that I couldn't hear?" 6O asked as she was about to tap 2B's shoulder but Nines stopped her.

"Wait. Everyone shush." Nines shushed everyone and they listened closely for anything 2B said but it was all quite mumbles of broken words that couldn't be put together.

"Dammit I can't understand anything. 2B?" Nines gave up and put his hand on 2B's shoulder which made her jump then shake her head as she was pulled back to reality from wherever she was.

"I... did I just black out?" 2B asked as she looked up to Nines who shook his head.

"No but you sorta blanked out and started mumbling words I couldn't understand." Nines said and 2B gave him a confused look as she didn't remember anything.

"Mumbling? What did I say?" 2B asked curiously and Nines shrugged.

"I couldn't tell. It didn't sound like English and everything you said was broken apart and incomplete." Nines said and 2B's expression turned to one of extreme confusion.

"I don't remember saying anything? One minute I was staring up at the moon and the next you were asking me questions." 2B said and Nines sighed.

"Case closed we're all insane." Devola said jokingly and Nines frowned at her.

"This is kinda serious." Nines said and Devola laughed.

"Yeah yeah, I know. 2B speaking in some type of language is real spooky and all." Devola said to which Nines frowned upon further

"Ch... aos... " 2B mumbled again and her eye lids fluttered open and closed rapidly a few times before she fell into Nines who jumped slightly in surprise.

"Wederholn... Wederholn... Wederholn... Wederholn..." 2B continued to mumble but it was more audible this time and Nines picked up on what she was saying and it sounded like an odd dialect of German or a language similar to it.

"Vederholin? What's that supposed to mean?" 6O asked and Nines gave a half shrug.

"I don't know? It sounds similar to the German word for repeat or repeating but the pronunciation is kinda odd." Nines said and Devola grinned at him.

"Should have paid better attention in German class. You did take that right?" Devola asked and Nines nodded.

"No... mal... Nines... Mina ..." 2B mumbled again and Nines quickly shushed Devola as he heard his name.

"2B? What about me?" Nines asked and 2B immediately snapped out of whatever state she was in and shook her head again.

"Huh? I did it again?" 2B asked as she blinked a few times while Nines and 6O nodded.

"Yeah you started mumbling something, Nines said it sounded like German." 6O said and 2B gave her and Nines a confused look again as she couldn't remember saying anything.

"I barely know any German, Nines been helping me out with it so I don't know how I could be saying stuff in German." 2B said and 6O shrugged.

"Well the only thing you said that we could really clearly understand the meaning of was when you said Nines name. Although just like the other words you said it was oddly pronounced." 6O said and 2B groaned as she rubbed her throbbing head.

"Let's just move on. My head hurts." 2B said with a groaned and Nines just lightly squeezed her arms which he was still holding onto since 2B hadn't noticed she was leaning back onto his chest.

"We can talk about it later. Let's all just relax and enjoy the night." 6O said and 2B nodded in agreement as she closed her eyes and yawned as she leaned back, this time she noticed she was laying against Nines and she opened hee eyes and stared up into Nines as a blush crept up her face.

"Tired?" Nines asked and 2B slowly nodded her head as she screamed to herself internally. After a year of subtle hints she finally got the feeling that Nines knew how she felt and was responding with equal ones to hers. After a bit of screaming to herself, 2B closed her eyes again and relaxed into Nines arms and as she rested she felt Nines hand grab hers which made her smile so she intertwined her fingers with his, her smile growing larger as Nines other arm snaked around her waist and pulled her body closer to his.

"Nines you sly little shit." 6O grumbled as she watched the two. Devola laughed at her jealousy and pat her shoulder in an empathetic way.

"I think you lost." Devola said and 6O sighed in sudden depression.

"I think it was always my lose." 6O said sadly and Devola smiled.

"Don't be like that, you guys are still good friends and there's always gonna be other cute girls." Devola said and 6O only got sadder.

"I know but still. I really liked 2B." 6O pouted and Devola hugged her then ruffled her hair a bit.

"No depression, we're supposed to be enjoying our time here." Devola said and 6O sighed then smiled as best she could.

"I'm happy... I am..." 6O said and Devola smiled.

"Good girl." Devola said as she sat back then looked from 6O to 2b and Nines. The two had been pretty close but never in that romantic way, well 2B had liked him for awhile and Nines never seemed to notice it until just recently and it made Devola wonder if it had something to do with the odd stuff happening to the group.

On one hand 2B had always sorta liked Nines and it was only a year or so ago that her feelings had turned from "I like Nines" to "I love Nines" and Nines had just a few days ago started to respond to her with equal feelings. In fact he seemed to be taking the lead instead of 2B who was usually more of the one making moves on him so if it did have anything to do with whatever the hell was happening Devola had to ask herself if Nines feelings toward 2B were real and from his heart? Or were they fabricated and shoved into him by something else?

Devola had a hard time determining this because on the outside Nines looked like he genuinely cared for 2B but at the same time there was her and Popola's situation. For the last few days they had started to get this sickening feeling in their stomach, like they had done something so terrible that the guilt ate away at them as punishment. The first problem with this was that Devola and Popola were mostly quiet people. Sure they had that incident at the restaurant earlier and Devola maybe punched a few people who flirted with her or her sister, but other than that they had mostly done good in their lives, kept up with school work and held good grades, never went out of their way to cause problems and always tried to be nice to people. So what was this feeling of guilt that now haunted them?

Devola sighed and looked back to Popola who had rested her head against her shoulder and was sleeping quietly. She loved her sister in a way that most frowned upon. Maybe that was what's wrong. Incest isn't something most "normal" people would consider good but she and her sister had been like this for quite a few years and nothing ever seemed to go wrong so that couldn't have been it and it left the question: What's going on?

"Screw whatever is going on." Devola muttered quietly enough that no one heard her as she leaned back against the wall behind her then she laced her fingers into her sisters and squeezed her hand. What ever was going on she wouldn't let anything happen to her dear Popola.

"You all seem comfortable." A2 said as she walked up to the group and startled a few of them.

"A2 what are you doing up here? You should be laying down." Nines said worriedly to which A2 groaned at.

"Oh piss off already, I got a cracked rib at most. Not going to kill me." A2 said with a groan as she sat down a few feet away from Nines and looked up at the moon.

"Ugh, who opened the nostalgia can?" A2 asked as she too felt that she had done something similar to this many times before.

"Who knows? We agreed not to talk about right now so why don't you just relax for once." Devola said and A2 glared at her but did just as she had said and relaxed. It was much cooler outside than it was inside, the breeze that blew by was pretty nice so A2 grabbed the edges of her shirt and pulled it off which made Nines blush then turn his head away from her as fast as possible.

"A2 w-what are you doing!? P-Put your shirt back on!" Nines said as he looked away and A2 just smiled at his sudden embarrassment.

"What you afraid to see a little skin? How old are you? Twelve?." A2 said and Nines shook his head as he covered his eyes with his arm to make sure he didn't see anything.

"T-That's not the issue here!" Nines said and A2 laughed at his obvious discomfort.

"Geez. Stop acting like a child, your like sixteen." A2 said with a yawn as she laid back down on the concrete, holding in a groan of pain as her side protested against any type of movement.

"That doesn't matter, you shouldn't just take your shirt off with other people around." Nines said and A2 rolled her eyes.

"I have a bra on. Not like you can actually see anything worth looking at. I'm not like 2B." A2 said and Devola laughed as she looked at A2's bra.

"Well it covers, but uh... nevermind." Devola said as she looked away awkwardly, she was kinda surprised by A2's lack of... well lack of a lot of things but mostly modesty at the moment. The bra did cover her chest but it still left quite a bit to see and she wasn't big like 2B but she wasn't small either. Bottom line was that there was definitely something to see which A2 herself failed to see.

"Not you, too." A2 groaned and Devola sighed.

"I ain't saying nothing." Devola said before looking back to her sister who had stirred slightly from the extra noise.

"Nines is mine." 2B muttered to A2 who frowned at her.

"I... I don't want him." A2 said a she felt her heart rate pick up a bit and she found herself feeling flustered for some odd reason, the roof top disappeared for a moment and was replaced with a large white platform and she looked over to her side and Nines was being carried off by something and the white towers beside her began to crumble and fall around her. The odd surrounding disappeared just as fast as it came and A2 looked all around her and she was still with Nines, 2B, 6O and the twins on the roof top. A2 let out a large breath she didn't realize she had held in, her head and side throbbed and she tried to remember what she had just seen but it was suddenly blurry and made her feel nauseous.

"A2 you alright? You're breathing really heavily." Devola asked and A2 nodded.

"I'm fine." A2 said and Devola easily could tell she was lying but didn't pry any further since A2 would just give the same answer's over and over again.

"What was that? First it was the strange structure and mechanical creature then just now with the crumbling towers or walls or whatever they were. What is going on with my head!?" A2 yelled to herself in her head as she looked over to Nines who was chatting with 2B, both smiling happily in each others company. Nines seemed to be fine and besides her head and rib she was also fine. Nothing was crumbling down and the buildings surrounding them were all only five or six stories at most, nothing like what she had seen.

With a frustrated sigh A2 looked up at the bright and full moon above her and a feeling of content washed over her.

"I never quite realized...how beautiful this world is." A2 mumbled as her eye lids suddenly felt heavy and her vision started to darken.

Sorry about the short chapter. Writers block has been fucking me in ass lately but I had to put something out so this poor excuse of a chapter is a byproduct of my shitty brain.
