Sect) is a supporting character in Togainu no Chi.ion heading
Known as N or Nano, he is an enigmatic figure throughout the game. He is not an Igura participant and carries neither tags nor a weapon, despite the dangers in Toshima. He dresses very conservatively, which adds to his unsettling behavior. 182cm tall. Though he often appears in front of Akira, it is a mystery as to whether he is a friend or foe. Nano's blood is the source of Line. His real name is Nicole Premier.

=Nano route=

Nano has a route. It has only a good ending, unlike Shiki or Keisuke routes that have a good ending and multiple bad ones. His route is available after you finished all the routes in the game.

Nano's Personality
Nano has is a cold person that has not a single glimpse of emotion in his early interactions with Akira, rarely showing emotions. He is a mysterious and quiet individual and thinks that fate cannot be defied and changed.

The weird thing is that, Akira, even if he spends time with Nano and has okay interactions with him, Akira doesn't find out his name though all that shit, only at the very end when confronted with Emma and Gwen.

Nano's Appearance
As the game describes him: He was so fair that his veins were almost visible through his bluish-white skin and his hair, unlike other japanese people(the game is set in Japan) appeared to be naturally light, not dyed, and blue pale eyes. When they meet, Akira feels shaken because of his eyes that were empty and dark, saying afterwards that "He was alive, but didn't feel alive". The game tells us that his voice was flat and emotionless just like his eyes, soft and toneless, both gentle and cold, not really like a voice at all, but more like the sound of a strange machine.

Nano doesn't wear a tag around his neck, not being a fighter like Akira and the others(exept for Motomi)

Nano route(the story in short)
If you played the game you know that at some point, after Akira won his first battle he gets in a fight with Keisuke that disappears without a trace and Akira looks for him, desperately wanting to find his friend.

Akira start looking for Keisuke. He scaned the street with groing desperation until something caught his eye. A blue shape cutting across the mouth of one dark alleyway, thinking it may be Keisuke, his legs broke into a run leaping into the black alley where he'd seen that weird shape. As he reached a wider street, Akira finally cane to a halt, he saw a human shape lay at thr base of a dried-up tree, at first glance thinking is a dead body. Soon he realized it wasn't a dead body and whoever it was, they might be sleeping. You will have the option to leave or get closer. If you want to enter Nano's route, you need to select the second option.

Akira gets closer to that sleeping person. A book laid open on his chest. As Akira was observing the man, he gradually opened his eyes, his gaze being unfocused and wandering through empty space until settling on Akira. Nano openes his mouth and tells Akira a riddle that makes him confused being already startled by him speaking and not understanding what was saying. Nano tells Akira in the end, seeing his confusion, the answer to the riddle. It was a riddle about books: "A font of wisdom with no years and no mouth" After telling him the answer, Nano closed his book and offered it to Akira asking if he likes books, confused, Akira doesn't say anything and Nano sat uo moving away from the tree and reached for Akira that took a step back. His fingers brushed Akira's cheek and a senzation like a jolt of electricity hit him. Then, Nano talked about humanity and how a book will never betray and when aked if he lived there, he didn't answer, instead said something about opposite colors intersecting and after that he left, Akira just staring at his back in a daze.

The story progresses, Akira goes to Meal of Duty, the club where fighters relax, finds blood and distruction everywhere and if you played the game you know he gets in a fight with Takeru that was on Rein. Because Takeru tastes his blood he too, like the other guy, starts twitching and saliva started dripping from his mouth, etc. and Akira escapes from him and runs away. If you played the game you know the story.

Akira ended up in a narrow alley. After a little while, he heard footsteps and then saw the same mysterious mane standing at the opening of the alley, gazing at him. Nano took a few stept into the alley slowly approaching Akiras direction carrying a small suitcase, the man walked to within arm's length of Akira, then stopped. Akira observed that Nano's eyes appeared to shine a brilliant purple instead of his normal pale blue eye color. Nano tells Akira that a man will be there soon(Shiki) and asks him to give him the suitcase, after that he lets go and tooks a few steps back, then finally turnes and walks away.

Akira wanted to leave the suitcase not wanting to get involved. He put the suitcase down and turned to leave the alley, but he heard another set of footsteps.(this time it's Shiki) Akira saw that the footsteps were Shiki's, he was trapped and had nowhere to run. Shiki walked uo to him and stopped only a few feet away. (Okay, Akira and Shiki relationship is toxic as fuck and that's the reason why even his "good ending" is fucked up, he destroyed Akira's life and I'm glad that the game doesn't treat their relationship like a healthy one, BUT... HE IS HOT and I am a lesbian so that must mean something) Shiki asks Akira about the man(Nano) and that makes him realize that the suitcase it's was meant for him. Shiki picked uo the suitcase left on the ground and checked its contents and irritated he turned his gaze to Akira. Anyways, Shiki asks the poor boy if he knows the man and why him but Akira doesn't know the answer and he's slammed against the wall, Shiki pressing his sword against his neck and asking him to forget everything he saw. AND YOU KNOW THAT AKIRA IS STUBBORN AND SHIKI ENDS UP HITTING HIM AND LEAVING HIM THERE.

Akira returned to the vacant lot where he meet Nano with the intention of meeting him again, but he wasn't there and so Akira, irritated at himself, stalked bsck toward the alley which he came, but then he sensed someone nearby, it was Nano! Akira asked THE MAN who he was but THE MAN didn't answer that question but gives him another riddle. Akira felt a little annoyed. Nano continued and said that next time they will meet, he would like to hear the answer from Akira. While Akira was trying to figure out his own mind, he saw the man reaching for the withered three and peeling of a piece of dry bark, trying to stick it in his mouth afterwards. Akira grabbed Nano's hand asking him what he was doing. The motion had been too natural, as if he ate bark all the time. Akira told him that tree bark is not edible and asked him if he was hungry. Then, Nano brought the barck out at him, you have two options bite the frigging bark or don't bite it, you will choose the first option. Akira realizes that the back doesn't taste bad(now I wanna try eating tree bark too- what is wrong with me?). Then Nano starts telling Akira about nature and how nothing is wasted there, everything returns to the earth every time. Then again, the Nano turned and walked away.

The events of the game continue as usual, I will only tell you about new things that happen only in Nano route because it's already troublesome to read this. Akira beats up that guy and then meets Keisuke on Rein. I think Keisuke is a nice guy, he was in love with Akira and wanting to protect him I'm just- just so sweet, but he taking rein and- REMEMBER THAT ISN'T A REVIEW AND YOU ARE WRITING ABOUT NANO-

After the encounter with Keisuke, Akira saw Nano again and decided to follow him. He followed him until he reached a street corner lined with buildings, there the man seemed to vanish into thin air. Then he noticed that one of the buildings had an open door, and since the door caught Akira's attention, he stepped through. He entered the movie theater he visited in Rin route and where he talked to Rin's old friend that told Akira things about his past. In the movie theater was Nano. Akira stopped a few seates away from him, then sat down having nothing else to say. Nano then suddenly asked Akira about the answer to his riddle. Our protagonist stood silent, he didn't even remember the riddle. Nano repeated the riddle, but still, Akira was silent so he finally told Akira the answer. After standing in silence for a little while, something tumbled from Akira jacket on the floor, it was a Solid(dry food) and after a few seconds he held the Solid out to Nano asking him if he wants some, the STRANGE MAN stared st Akira then asked if he will eat it, Akira telling him that it was for him. When he held the solid out again, Nano took from him, but to Akira's surprise, Nano tried to bite straight through the sealed wrapper. Akira grabbed his hand and with a sigh he tood the Solid and unwrapped it, then handed it to Nano. THE MAN took a bite and another one, then another appearing to like the taste. After he finished, Akira pointed out that he had some crumbs stuck to his cheek, and even if he pointed at his own cheek to explain, Nano had no reaction. Akira reached out to brush it off, but Nano caught his hand and even if he jerked back the man did not let his hand go. Akira told him again that he had crumbs on his face and tried to pull his hand away again, but this time, Nano's lips brushed his fingertips and the electric sensation hit him again, that making him quickly breaking free. After that, the man left the theater.

Anyway, Akira fights Keisuke like in any other route, but different from any other route, exept his own route, Keisuke survives. After the fight where Keisuke tastes Akira's blood and passes out, they colapse in the rain and if I remember correctly, Nano finds them and takes both of them in an abandoned greenhouse where only plants and dust live.

After he wakes up, Akira founds a cat(similar to the cat in Motomi's route) that is wounded in the rain. Akira is worried about the cat, but Nano doesn't move a muscle, that is when Akira realizes that Nano knew about the wounded kitty but didn't do anything. Akira confronts him about it, and it's hit with Nano's emotionless response about how fate cannot be defied, because it will die sooner or later. Akira then asks why did he saved them(him and Keisuke), because if he didn't save them, they would've died in the rain. Nano tells him that's because he held onto Keisuke and refused to let him behind(I forgot to include that-)

We find out here that Nano gave Keisuke sleeping pills and that is why he wouldn't wake up, and tells Akira that in two days, Rain should leave his sistem.

Akira says that he won't give up and helped the kitten that was wounded and cold to the touch saying that fate can be changed and he will be the one who will change it. Nano leaves after that without a word.

In the mean time, he finds a container with rain in the corner of the room, and gets angry, wordering if "THE MAN" is a rein user too. He- I shouldn't spoil the fun just yet.

The cat doesn't die and at some point leaves the greenhouse the cat obviously being a stray cat.

Nano returns shortly after soaked from head to toe. Akira tells him that fafe has nothing to do with it because the cat survived and so will Keisuke. But Nano didn't react and he simply just gazed at Akira with eyes devoid of light. In that moment, Akira knew something was wrong, a peculiar sent reached his nose, something other than the smell of rain and soil, that was the stench of blood. Akira asked him what had happened, but as always, Nano was silent. Then, Akira observed that Nano had something in his hand, it was a weapon, long and slender, a katana, and who uses a katana? Shiki, our big boy, he uses a katana. He tossed the katana covered in blood on the ground. Suddenly Nano embraces Akira and because of this unexpected action and his speed and strength, Akira had no chance to react. Although Akira tells him, multiple times, to let him go and stop, he doesn't stop, because why would he stop?! Am I supposed to continue? Because if you are over 13, you know what will happen considering this is a BL visual novel and a route needs to have at least one sex scene, rape or not, tentacles(Lamento reference) or not.

After that whole incident, Nano left Akira in the greenhouse, alone. Shortly after he woke up and staggered toward the neighboring room, he heard noises behind him and stopped. (I'm sorry, it's 4 am in the fucking morning, i'll come back after a few hours.
