"It's not useful over-analyzing unless I'm able to check whether use makes any changes in your head." Probably, he is trying to figure out his emotions.
Still, he's more interested in testing his work. He carefully unhooks, handing it over to Bill.
"Not like that." Mostly not like that, anyway, he doesn't ignore any of the potential angles of danger. "More... literally. There's a reason humans dream. And brains can get rewired in all sorts of ways. It seems like it could be risky."
He watches carefully, this isn't the best moment, but there's something special about the anticipation before a test run.
Nico is already adding notes to his file on the project, just because he doesn't need them to remember doesn't mean it can't be useful to have things written down. Sometimes.
"That was one of the interesting things to figure out, how to make it display without the intermediary."
He starts on another explanation of 'motion activated sensors', systems that are supposed to respond to thoughts, experiments with AIs, block transfer mechanics as understood as the building blocks of certain universes and a slight digression into the possibility of temporal engineering if you start in a universe without time travel.
"...Uh. Anyway. It should work if you press your whole... hand against it."
Bill looks actually very interested in the temporal engineering part, and encourages the digression. Not like they're pressed for time here. Haha! Get it? Time.
"ALRIGHT!"
He does - the memory he's uploaded is just another one of him looking incredibly bored in the Nightmare Realm, eye half-lidded, floating with all four limbs limp and a deck of cards floating around him in zero gravity.
Bill's pupil goes squiggly again for a second as he uploads - "EUH." - and he presses his hand to the clip.
An image of Bill in the last port appears, riding on Yara's shoulders and having a vehement hissed argument with her about which direction they should be trying go in thorough the jungle.
"THAT'S ONE OF ABOUT A DOZEN EXACTLY LIKE THAT. WE SURE HAD FUN."
Nico starts running tests, not blind to the rest of the world, but having shut it out as unnecessary at the moment. It doesn't entirely live up to his perfectionist standards, but he's quite pleased at the level of detail and smoothness of motion. He waves a pencil through the images, noting the lack of glitching, before finally leaning back.
"I should be able to make some improvements, and I'm still not certain how much storage it'll be able to manage at this point, but it's not bad."

With that introduction done, "I CAN'T CHANGE WHAT'S INSIDE YOUR HEAD EVEN IF I WASN'T INMATE-CAPPED!"
The ring does not do anything. Bill takes the clip and also puts that on.
