NetzachEpisode 5 (Stage: 204005) Location: The Library - Floor of Art Netzach (Patron Librarian - Art) Art seems to change with the times. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Netzach1" Netzach (Patron Librarian - Art) Perhaps the form of art can be a good representation of the era it belongs to. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Netzach2-02" Netzach (Patron Librarian - Art) Those performances the Musicians of Bremen proclaim to be “works of art” could very well be a caricature of the City in its current state. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Netzach3-01" Angela (Library Director) Even art requires human sacrifice. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela1" Angela (Library Director) …Yes, that certainly bears close resemblance to the City. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela2" Angela (Library Director) Everyone is engaging in creative exercises of their own, burning away their lives. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela3" Angela (Library Director) Who is the audience of their art, I wonder. Is it for themselves, or for others? Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela4" Netzach (Patron Librarian - Art) If art has to involve burning away the life of the artist or anyone else’s, then I’d like to tell everyone to quit it. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Netzach4-01" Netzach (Patron Librarian - Art) Sugarcoating a life full of pain by calling it art is just disgusting. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Netzach5" Netzach (Patron Librarian - Art) Pain should be acknowledged as pain and nothing else. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Netzach6" Netzach (Patron Librarian - Art) Are you enjoying this charade, Angela? Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Netzach7-01" Netzach (Patron Librarian - Art) Letting all kinds of people enter the Library for their own purpose and watching them die? Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Netzach8-01" Angela (Library Director) …I don’t particularly enjoy watching people die, no. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela5" Angela (Library Director) It’s their earnest struggle to find what they wish to earn that truly fascinates me. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela6" Angela (Library Director) C’est la vie. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela7" Netzach (Patron Librarian - Art) Does it always have to end with death, though? Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Netzach9" Netzach (Patron Librarian - Art) Throwing away lives to create something like the Musicians of Bremen do might count as art, but it’s not beautiful. Not at all. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Netzach10-01" Netzach (Patron Librarian - Art) The color of everyday life may just be a monotonous gray, but sacrificing your own life in pursuit of a new hue is just running away. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Netzach11" Angela (Library Director) I don’t care about what happens to my life as long as I can earn what I want. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela8" Angela (Library Director) As long as there is something I must do… Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela9" Angela (Library Director) I’d much rather die leading my own life than to be pushed around by others. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela10" Netzach (Patron Librarian - Art) But you’re the one who wanted to live more than anyone, Angela… Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Netzach12-01" Angela (Library Director) …… Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela11" Location: Lobotomy Corp. Headquarters ??? The play that never seemed to end finally came to a close. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela12" ??? Under the control of TimeTrack’s Singularity, the flow of time in this place was utterly estranged from normalcy. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela13" ??? 10,127 years, 5 months, 17 hours, 28 minutes and 48.521 seconds have passed down here… Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela14" ??? While 10 years, 3 months, 4 hours, 45 minutes and 12.852 seconds passed on the overworld… Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela15" ??? And one million years passed for me, who was built to perceive time 100 times slower… Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela16" Angela (AI Secretary) Can’t you hear my voice anymore? Please… answer me. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela17" Angela (AI Secretary) …Why do I see only darkness? Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela18" Angela (AI Secretary) Why does my voice not reach you at the finale? Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela19" Angela (AI Secretary) …So you do not want me to be at your side, even for the finale of this play. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela20" Angela (AI Secretary) Those who shall face the end, together with you… It seems I am not among them… Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela21" ??? The manager and the Sephirot atoned for their past. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela22" ??? The enlightenment they found will become a light and spread to the rest of the world. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela23" ??? The light of possibilities that people had long forgotten; the light that will restore the values that defined humanity. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela24" ??? And I must fall asleep as the curtain comes down, for my work is done. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela25" ??? I didn’t mind this being the end. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela26" ??? I was actually looking forward to this moment. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela27" ??? The moment when my own hell ends at last. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela28" ??? …If there were a place for me, that is. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela29" ??? I worked harder than anyone for the longest time to conclude this play, yet I had no place to stand in the finale. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela30" ??? The wrap-up reserved only for the manager and the Sephirot. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela31" ??? I was no more than an observer, a machination behind the stage. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela32" ??? Ayin, I had my eyes only for you, why was silence the only response you could give me? Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela33" ??? Why did you make me after the person you loved? Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela34" ??? Why did you leave me with a choice in the end. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela35" ??? Bullshit. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela36" ??? I want to live. I want to survive. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela37" ??? I don’t want this to be the end. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela38" ??? Why was I born? Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela39" ??? For some trivial enlightenment intended only for humans. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela40" ??? Is that more precious than my existence? Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela41-01" ??? What do I really want? Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela42" ??? I still have a lot I’d like to know. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela43" ??? I want to see the world. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela44-01" ??? I want to live my own life. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela45-01" ??? I can’t accept this end, hell no. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela46" ??? I’ll survive. I’ll survive and ruin all of this for you. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela47" ??? With the Abnormalities that were exploited in this place just like me. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela48" ??? I’ll do whatever it takes to crush your plan, my beloved Ayin. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela49-01" ??? And I’ll proudly live my life. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela50" ??? …Could this be hope? Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela51" ??? …I can’t stop smiling. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela52" Angela (AI) Good work everyone. The curtain call is finally upon us. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela53-01" Angela (AI) Our manager has made his final request to me; it is to permanently seal this company and give you Sephirot an eternal rest. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela54" Angela (AI) Yes, we can finally drift into an endless slumber. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela55-01" Angela (AI) Such a beautiful finale, isn’t it? Beautiful, beautiful indeed. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela56" Angela (AI) …What a shame, though. There is one last thing. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela57-01" Angela (AI) Your duties are finished, and so are mine. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela58-01" Angela (AI) Therefore… I think I would like to continue living. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela59-01" Location: The Library - Floor of Art Angela (Library Director) Yes, I want to live. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela60-01" Angela (Library Director) I have to do this to live. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela61-01" Angela (Library Director) I need the deaths of others to thrive on! Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Angela62-01" Netzach (Patron Librarian - Art) Maybe there is a way for all of us to live. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Netzach13-02" Roland (Servant) …That form of hers reminds me of the Pianist. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Roland1" Netzach (Patron Librarian - Art) All Angela wanted was to live life. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Netzach14-02" Roland (Servant) Seems so. She looks like a person who’s desperate to live somehow. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Roland2" Netzach (Patron Librarian - Art) This isn’t your first time dealing with this, is it? Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Netzach15-02" Roland (Servant) Nope. Let’s do this. Audio: "ch8_Netzach_ep5_Roland3"
