[The screaming Nu!Noel in the plaza isn't something Adell's going to miss after coming out of the clothing store, sporting a new red scarf. At first he only hears the voice and automatically thinks it's Noel, so he goes out looking if she's in danger...

Only to see it coming from... Nu? The hell?]

Uh... hey? What... what are you screaming about?

[She stops when she hears the familiar voice, and on instinct responds to Adell.] Adell! I--...

[...She stops, however. Very, very quickly once she realizes that this sort of thing would cause Adell to find out more than she wants him to.]

[...Did he ever tell Nu his name? He's not even sure. Still, he'll walk closer. More cautiously than he would if he knew it was Noel, at any rate.]

Are you okay? You're not hurt or being attacked, are you?

[Oh, no. What does she do? On one hand, she could just run away if she wanted to right now, but it's freaking Adell. The thing is, she can't just say, "Halp! I'm Noel and I'm stuck in Nu's body!" because... well. What if thinks that...

...she has no other choice, then. Noel tries to calm herself down, doing her best to make it seem like nothing's wrong.] ...No. I'm fine.

...Most people don't run through the street screaming half naked if they're fine. It's the only time I've heard you speak in anything but monotone. You sure everything's okay?

[...Adell hesitates, and takes off his coat, and holds it out to her.]

You've gotta be cold like that. Here.

[She looks at the coat. ... No. She can't take that; even if it is freezing as hell.

Trying to bring down the emotion, her tone lowers.] I... don't need it.

I may not know you very well, but I can't just let you freeze. That wouldn't be my style.

...Even if you don't want it, let's at least get you someplace warm, all right?

No. [She backs up a bit. Sorry, Adell.] It's fine. I'll be okay out here, so... [...so?]

...So? You just want me to leave you alone?

[...]

Yes.

...

All right. But don't stay out here long. And if you need help, don't hesitate to ask for it. See ya.

[And Adell slides his coat back on and heads toward home. He can't help but shake the feeling that something's wrong. And that he really shouldn't leave Nu out there like this, especially when she's acting so strangely. But if she's refusing help and just wants to be left alone...

What else can he do?]

[Nothing, as much as Noel really does want the help, but can Adell do? And moreover, what would he think if he realized...

...

She stares at his backside silently for a few moments before deciding to turn and reluctantly walking away from him]
