Binah — Episode 2Location: The Library – Floor of PhilosophyBinah(Patron Librarian - Philosophy)Your expression tells me that you have many questions you yearn answered.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Binah_1-01"Binah(Patron Librarian - Philosophy)Why don’t you take a seat and have a cup of tea first.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Binah_2-01"Roland(Servant)I’m not too used to this kind of occasion.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Roland_1"Binah(Patron Librarian - Philosophy)In time, you will grow accustomed to it, as with anything else.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Binah_3"Binah(Patron Librarian - Philosophy)What is the Library like from what you have seen?Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Binah_4-03"Roland(Servant)Again with that question?Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Roland_2-01"Roland(Servant)I thought I told you my answer already. Or are you a bit wacky in the head?Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Roland_3"Binah(Patron Librarian - Philosophy)Viewpoints are bound to undergo constant change.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Binah_5-01"Roland(Servant)Gah, alright, fine. I’ll give you another answer.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Roland_4"Roland(Servant)I got fancy with comparisons like “arena” and “jail” last time, but to put it bluntly, the Library is a perfectly ordinary part of the City where people die out all the time.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Roland_5"Binah(Patron Librarian - Philosophy)I see.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Binah_6"Roland(Servant)Huh, black tea doesn’t taste too bad. It’s no coffee, but it’s got its own flavor going.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Roland_6"Binah(Patron Librarian - Philosophy)It is because of the palpable agony of the tea leaf infused in each cup.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Binah_7-01"Roland(Servant)It’s still hard to believe, but you said you were an Arbiter from the Head, right?Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Roland_7"Binah(Patron Librarian - Philosophy)I was indeed.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Binah_8"Roland(Servant)I had a ton of things I wanted to ask an Arbiter if I ever ran into one.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Roland_8-01"Binah(Patron Librarian - Philosophy)Do you have any faith that I will answer them?Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Binah_9-01"Roland(Servant)Nope, not at all. Besides, I got a more pressing question now; if you really are an Arbiter, why are you just staying here doing nothing?Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Roland_9-01"Binah(Patron Librarian - Philosophy)I am simply watching from afar.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Binah_10-01"Binah(Patron Librarian - Philosophy)I have long since laid down myself as an Arbiter.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Binah_11-01"Roland(Servant)You’re just watching?Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Roland_10-01"Roland(Servant)You seem pretty complacent about helping Angela for a bystander.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Roland_11-01"Binah(Patron Librarian - Philosophy)I simply take care of the tasks given to me. No more, no less.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Binah_12-01"Roland(Servant)What if Angela ordered you to tell her all about the secrets of the City only the Head knows, then?Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Roland_12"Binah(Patron Librarian - Philosophy)She has not made such an attempt, possibly because she knows that I will not answer regardless.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Binah_13-01"Binah(Patron Librarian - Philosophy)No, perhaps she already tried to uncover my secrets before I could realize it.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Binah_14-01"Roland(Servant)And what if I tried to kill you and turn you into a book here and now?Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Roland_13-01"Roland(Servant)So I can pull out every little bit of knowledge you have by force?Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Roland_14"Binah(Patron Librarian - Philosophy)You are a bold individual. And quite hostile as well.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Binah_15-01"Binah(Patron Librarian - Philosophy)That is what differentiates you from us, perhaps.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Binah_16"Roland(Servant)Ain’t got any courtesy to show for one of the shady overlords of the City.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Roland_15"Binah(Patron Librarian - Philosophy)There was once a man whose dream had been ruined by me.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Binah_17-01"Binah(Patron Librarian - Philosophy)However, even when he faced me in person, his anger was directed at what was above and beyond.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Binah_18"Binah(Patron Librarian - Philosophy)His gaze never settled on the things right in front of him; he always looked further.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Binah_19-01"Binah(Patron Librarian - Philosophy)Unlike you or Angela, who are well-nigh blind to anything outside of your immediate sight, as I can see.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Binah_20_b"Roland(Servant)Hey, don’t change the topic.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Roland_16"Binah(Patron Librarian - Philosophy)Quite sharp, indeed…Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Binah_21"Binah(Patron Librarian - Philosophy)You bear a poison, heavy and slow… yet deadly.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Binah_22-01"Binah(Patron Librarian - Philosophy)I know you well, even though you know nothing about me.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Binah_23-01"Roland(Servant)……Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Roland_17"Binah(Patron Librarian - Philosophy)My occupation is to simply remain silent and spectate. So worry not.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Binah_24"Roland(Servant)Guess our conversations will always be parallel.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Roland_18"Binah(Patron Librarian - Philosophy)“O sorrow, I have ended, you see, by respecting you,
because I am certain you will never leave me.”
Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Binah_25"Roland(Servant)…“Ah, I realize it: your beauty lies in the force of your being.”Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Roland_19-01"Binah(Patron Librarian - Philosophy)Are you leaving already? You are welcome to stay a little longer and finish your cup of tea.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Binah_26-01"Roland(Servant)Lost my appetite.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Roland_20"Binah(Patron Librarian - Philosophy)You may drop by sometimes and be my company. It is rather amusing to talk with you.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Binah_27-01"Roland(Servant)Like hell it is.Audio: "ch8_Binah_ep2_Roland_21-01"
