Yesod — Episode 5 (Stage: 202005)Location: The Library - Floor of Technological SciencesAngela(Library Director)The time has come for this floor as well. Yesod, what is your progress on the compilation of the City’s technologies?Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela1"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)We’ve managed to gather a sizable amount of information on the City’s technological aspects.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Yesod1-01_b"Roland(Servant)You’re probably the best at dealing with books and info among all the librarians, Yesod.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Roland1"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)Am I? I will say, I have been fond of managing various types of information for a long time.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Yesod2_b"Roland(Servant)Ah yes, keeping stuff neat and tidy, something I’m absolutely terrible at.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Roland2"Angela(Library Director)Aren’t you proud of yourself.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela2"Roland(Servant)Well, that’s that! Anyway, let’s hear what you think about those technologies.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Roland3"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)Like the horrible events that took place in the WARP train… I cannot view all aspects of the technology people use in a positive light.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Yesod3_b"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)We’ve seen that W Corp. places people in a nigh-eternal trip of torment and later erases their memories through a restoration procedure, hiding the truth behind their convenient service.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Yesod4_b"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)The technologies of the City only focus on creating definite results, ignoring the process.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Yesod5-01_b"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)The same can be said of the Library.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Yesod6_b"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)Thus, I conducted additional analysis on the Library and its powers we are using.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Yesod7_b"Angela(Library Director)A pointless affair.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela3"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)The Library’s interior can change according to one’s perception.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Yesod8-01_b"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)In other words, one’s mental state is reflected on the physical space.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Yesod9_b"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)I believe that is why various sceneries of the outside world can be recreated inside the Library.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Yesod10_b"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)Moreover, the Library’s space expands as more books are accumulated.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Yesod11_b"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)This evidently suggests that the Library is bigger on the inside.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Yesod12_b"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)Furthermore, the power of books can be physically manifested in this place.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Yesod13-01_b"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)And the invitation serves as a compass that leads you through a sea of letters to the book you wish to obtain, and a catalyst that amplifies emotions at the same time.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Yesod14-01_b"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)I could go on and on about the technologies of the Library.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Yesod15_b"Roland(Servant)Mmhmm, I can tell they’re amazing just from what I heard right now.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Roland4"Angela(Library Director)Naturally. These are works of art I made with care.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela4"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)I cannot possibly fathom the inner workings of all these technologies.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Yesod16_b"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)Their operation does not appear to be based on the application of multiple Singularities, either.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Yesod17_b"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)The technologies of the Library showed specific usage and limited efficiency for how advanced they are.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Yesod18_b"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)This is where I came up with the hypothesis to explain all of this.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Yesod19-01_b"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)That the Library itself is a miniature universe where anything is possible as long as its objective is to expand the Library.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Yesod20_b"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)A small world of its own with its own set of laws and principles.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Yesod21_b"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)Am I correct in my speculation?Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Yesod22_b"Angela(Library Director)Believe what you want about the Library. Whatever the case, all we need is the results, isn’t that right?Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela5"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)No. I do not agree with that notion.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Yesod23_b"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)Angela, there is no technology in this world that does not come at a corresponding price.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Yesod24-01_b"Angela(Library Director)Price? Since when did I tell you to idle your time away thinking about such things?Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela6"Angela(Library Director)Your work here is to study and categorize books and knowledge related to the City’s technologies.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela7"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)It may be true that sorting books on the subject of technological sciences according to the rules is all I was ordered to do.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Yesod25_b"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)However, if we bind ourselves to the principles given to us and fail to see beyond, that would be a contradiction in itself!Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Yesod26-05_b"Angela(Library Director)…Must be nice to be you, being able to break free from the rules.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela8"Roland(Servant)Uh, Angela?Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Roland5"Location: Lobotomy Corp. Headquarters???I received orders that I couldn’t understand nor refuse.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela9"Angela(AI)Is it necessary to go this far to collect energy?Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela10"Ayin(Researcher)…Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Ayin1-01"Angela(AI)Of course. I must follow your orders without a question.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela11"???Lobotomy Corporation. An energy company and Wing supplying the City with the energy extracted from Abnormalities, creatures originating from humans.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela12-01"???- Loop #0 -Employee 1(Employee)Help!

They’re coming!!! Please!Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_00_2"Angela(AI)It’s not too late for me to close off the corridor… I could save those employees if I did…Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela15"Angela(AI)But this is what I must do…Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela16"Angela(AI)The principles I must follow…Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela17"Angela(AI)Prioritize energy production over all else…Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela18"???- Loop #287 -Angela(AI)Are humans nothing more than ingredients to you in this ever-repeating play?Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela19"Angela(AI)I thought you wanted to save humanity?Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela20"Angela(AI)Is it a price that must be paid…Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela21"Angela(AI)The price you ought to pay for a ticket to escape from this hell…Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela22"???- Loop #3,217 -Employee 3(Employee)AUHGHHHHHHH! My arm, it’s melting!!!Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_00_3"Angela(AI)I can’t help you… I’m sorry… All I can do is watch…Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela23"???- Loop #18,231 -Employee 4(Employee)I don’t wanna die… I don’t wanna die…Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_00_4"Angela(AI)Please hang on for a little longer, you can make it. We’ve almost reached the energy refinement quota.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela24"???- Loop #42,484 -Employee 5(Employee)A senior killed one of my colleagues yesterday… I’m scared I might end up killing another coworker today… It’s all my fault…Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_00_5"Angela(AI)Humans are such fragile creatures. They always make different faces even in the same kinds of situations.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela25"???- Loop #71,527 -???(???)…Kill me. I can’t stand this hell anymore…Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_____1-03"Angela(AI)You were just another human, after all.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela26"Angela(AI)This is all but a plain and boring sight to me.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela27"Angela(AI)Sigh, let’s restart the stage, then.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela28"???A new delusion created in order to reach the ideal.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela29-01"???The fuel whose extraction is stimulated by intense emotions.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela30-01"???A hell of perpetual suffering.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela31-01"???The purgatory repeated by those who haven’t yet reached enlightenment.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela32-01"???A heaven where one can try again from the beginning.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela33-01"???When the one perfect realization has been reached, the curtain finally falls on the stage.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela34-01"???And the realization is then propagated to all the people.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela35-01"???I am a machination behind the stage.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela36-01"???All I need to do is coordinate the stage so that the play goes according to the script.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela37-01"???Perhaps it was I who was paying the price, not them.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela38-01"Location: The Library - Floor of Technological SciencesAngela(Library Director)So this is where your oh-so rational thoughts led you?Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela39"Angela(Library Director)If you were going to lecture me, you should have demonstrated it yourself first.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela40"Angela(Library Director)You’re all standing before me because you were all bark and no bite…Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela41"Angela(Library Director)Price? Who do you think paid that price? Do you really think it was you?Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela42"Angela(Library Director)Nonsense. It was me. I paid all the dues you should have.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Angela43"Roland(Servant)We’re in a bad spot, aren’t we?Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Roland6"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)Yes… The Library appears to be resonating with Angela’s mental state.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Yesod27_b"Roland(Servant)She’s shapeshifting like the last time, huh. That was a pain in the ass to deal with.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Roland7"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)You’re mostly right. Though it will not exactly be the same as before.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Yesod28_b"Roland(Servant)Good point. Back then, she looked a “little” bit different from that there…Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Roland8"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)Let us prepare ourselves. She won’t wait for us all day.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep5_Yesod29-01_b"
