Tiphereth — Episode 4Location: The Library – Floor of Natural SciencesRoland(Servant)Here’s your books, fresh outta the oven~Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Roland_1"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)As one’s mind is amplified, they undergo changes such as gaining new powers or transforming…Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Tiphereth_1-01"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)That’s what they call ‘The Distortion Phenomenon’.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Tiphereth_2-01"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)It happens in a way that’s almost identical to how Abnormalities were made back in Lobotomy Corp.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Tiphereth_3"Roland(Servant)The Distortion is the Abnormalities?Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Roland_2"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)Even though the process is similar, they have fundamentally different roots.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Tiphereth_4-01"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)Abnormalities… weren’t manifested out of the person’s own will, most importantly.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Tiphereth_5-01"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)While Abnormalities were created by someone else forcibly drawing out one’s ego from the deep well of their mind, the Distortion occurs of one’s own volition.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Tiphereth_6-01"Roland(Servant)That means those monsters lie within everyone’s hearts, huh.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Roland_3"Roland(Servant)The world would be a mess in no time if people just started becoming Distortions left and right.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Roland_4"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)That won’t happen. A strong motivation is needed.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Tiphereth_7-01"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)Look at Philip of the Dawn Office, who became the Crying Children, for instance. It took an intense heightening of his emotions for him to turn.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Tiphereth_8-01"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)There seems to be some kind of condition to it.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Tiphereth_9-01"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)And what we did was the greatest variable that affected it…Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Tiphereth_10-01"Roland(Servant)A variable?Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Roland_5"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)The Light that Angela stole for herself.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Tiphereth_11"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)Had we managed to light up the world for seven whole days, side effects like this wouldn’t have happened.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Tiphereth_12-01"Roland(Servant)…I see.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Roland_6"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)Our plan was stopped halfway, and that was the problem.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Tiphereth_13-01"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)It looks like we ended up making things worse.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Tiphereth_14-01"Roland(Servant)Is there any way to revert this?Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Roland_7"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)Reclaim all the Light that was spread, and then shine over the City once again for seven days using the Light we’ve gathered.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Tiphereth_15-01"Roland(Servant)I don’t think Angela is just gonna sit and watch.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Roland_8"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)She asked us to wait until all the light has been retrieved.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Tiphereth_16-01"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)She needs it for her own plans, after all.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Tiphereth_17-01"Roland(Servant)Oh yeah, you were one of the Sephirot that accepted Angela’s plea for more time.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Roland_9"Roland(Servant)Why, though? She’s the one who sabotaged your plan, so why be nice to her?Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Roland_10"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)You’re right. I was frankly upset, but… I wanted to believe…Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Tiphereth_18"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)That we need to give Angela a chance.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Tiphereth_19-02"Roland(Servant)You’ve got the patience of a saint.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Roland_11"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)To be honest! I’m still mad at her, and I still wanna snap at her even now…Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Tiphereth_20-07"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)But Enoch… This is what Enoch would’ve done. I’m sure of it.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Tiphereth_21"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)He would’ve told me to trust her just a little more…Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Tiphereth_22-02"Roland(Servant)Well, that’s impressive… You’re much stronger than me.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Roland_12"Roland(Servant)I wouldn’t have dreamed of making that choice if I were you…Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Roland_13"Roland(Servant)I just can’t think in such long terms.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Roland_14"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)I’m sure you’ll earn that insight when you meet someone who means as much to you!Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Tiphereth_23-01"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)So let’s hang on until then.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Tiphereth_24-01"Roland(Servant)Someone who means a lot to me, huh…Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Roland_15"Roland(Servant)Thanks for the kind words, kid.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Roland_16"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)I am NOT a kid!Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep4_Tiphereth_25"
