Zwei-2 — Episode 1 (Stage: 20001)Location: Zwei Association - Southern Branch, Section 6Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)You can’t kneel forever you know.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_isadora1"San(Streetlight Operator)I beg you. My juniors… They’re all dead.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_san1"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)You’ve said that a million times by now. It’s gonna ring in my ears for days.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_isadora2"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)Look, I know what happened. Your crew all died on a trip to a place called ‘The Library’.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_isadora3"San(Streetlight Operator)I’d like to request the Zwei for support. I want to retrieve their books at least.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_san2"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)And barging into Zwei HQ to beg like this is not the right way to do it. Come on, you know better than that.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_isadora4"Julia(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)Isadora, please… Let’s help him out just once. Could we at least request our superiors for a review of this case?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_julia1"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)Julia. I know you’re friends with this idiot, but even then, we should not act upon friendship or attachment. The whole system could collapse otherwise.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_isadora5"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)The lobby will be filled with all kinds of miserable folks, begging and pleading for help.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_isadora6"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)You may be a low-grade pipsqueak, but you’re still Zwei’s Associate Fixer nonetheless. You’d better remember what you learned today.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_isadora7"Julia(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)But I’m responsible for this case, and…Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_julia2"Julia(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)And the association is responsible for it, too.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_julia3"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)Nowhere in our records does it say that Zwei is involved in this case, though? I have no idea what you’re talking about, miss.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_isadora8"San(Streetlight Operator)So that’s how it is… You use us as you please, then turn your back on us so easily…Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_san3"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)Hello, you’re putting the blame on the wrong people here.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_isadora9"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)Even if such a deal did take place like you said, you must have demanded or at least expected a corresponding reward. That’s what a deal is after all.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_isadora10"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)You used the association as much as the association used you. You don’t get to talk like it was one-sided extortion. Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_isadora11"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)Come on, let’s not act like rookies now. You’ve been in this business for 8 years, you should know how things work by now.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_isadora12"Julia(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)Isadora! You don’t have to be so harsh. We all started out as Office-mates…Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_julia4"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)I’m just frustrated. I don’t want to see him in such a wretched state, either.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_isadora13"San(Streetlight Operator)Sorry. I understand what you’re trying to say.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_san4"San(Streetlight Operator)You’re right, that’s how it’s always been… I’ll go look for another way now.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_san5"Julia(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)San… I’m so sorry… I never thought it would turn out this way…Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_julia5"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)…Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)Well would you look at that. Now this is the proper procedure I’m talking about.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_isadora14"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)The Hana Association just elevated ‘The Library’ from Urban Myth to Urban Legend.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_isadora15"Julia(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)That means…! Our association can now officially act on this case, right?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_julia6"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)W-well, yeah, but we still don’t know Zwei’s stance on it yet, so, don’t get your hopes up, alright?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_isadora16"San(Streetlight Operator)Thank you, Isadora… I really owe you one.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_san6"San(Streetlight Operator)And apologies for laying my burden on you. Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_san7"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)I-it’s nothing, all I did was compile information following procedure and send it to the higher ups.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_isadora17"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)There certainly have been reports that several other Syndicates and Offices fell victim to ‘The Library’, although they were mostly insignificant fledglings.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_isadora18"Julia(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)But it’s all thanks to the masterful data analysis by our lovely Isadora from Section 6 that it could be handled so quickly, right? That’s my girl!Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_julia7"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)Fine, believe in whatever you want!Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_isadora19"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)Anyway, do you still have that invitation with you?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_isadora20"Location: Inside the LibraryRoland(Servant)Looks like an Association is about to make their move. Things will be different from now on.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_roland1"Angela(Library Director)How much of a difference does that make?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_angela1"Roland(Servant)The guests we’ve had so far all gave us a visit out of casual interest or curiosity, but our future guests will have a clear goal in mind involving the Library.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_roland2"Angela(Library Director)How so?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_angela2"Roland(Servant)A case officially recognized by the Associations is guaranteed to be rewarding. And money attracts an awful lot of attention.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_roland3"Roland(Servant)The scale of our affairs is only going to escalate from here, like it or not.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_roland4"Roland(Servant)Our threat level or importance is still probably on the lower end, but we’ll nevertheless get all sorts of people trying to unravel the mysteries of this place as long as the Associations have an eye on us.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_roland5"Angela(Library Director)I like the sound of that. I can make more valuable books out of them. I still have a lot to see and learn.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_angela3"Roland(Servant)I’ve been wondering for a while, but what’s stopping you from leaving here?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_roland6"Angela(Library Director)…I am under a curse.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_angela4"Angela(Library Director)A deep, ancient curse; that is what’s attached to me.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_angela5"Angela(Library Director)No being that isn’t human can walk out of this place.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_angela6"Angela(Library Director)Besides, I don’t want to leave this place until I’ve had my revenge, either.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_angela7"Angela(Library Director)It’s not too bad so far. Rather, I’ve been actually quite delighted lately.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_angela8"Angela(Library Director)It has been full of brand new things, unlike the prison that was my past life.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_angela9"Angela(Library Director)New faces, accumulating knowledge, intriguing events… I like this abundance of freshness. I want to know more. I will keep learning and learning. And as I learn, I might finally figure out…Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_angela10"Angela(Library Director)…Why I had to be subject to such torment…Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_angela11"Roland(Servant)Guess I gotta work harder, then. I can’t leave here as long as you can’t, you know?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_roland7"Angela(Library Director)…Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_angela12"Roland(Servant)Hey. If we get to leave one day, why don’t I take you to a place I frequent?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_roland8"Angela(Library Director)You mean a restaurant?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_angela13"Roland(Servant)Yep. They make some sick meat stew there.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_roland9"Roland(Servant)One of the secrets to that stew is the giant tin pot they commissioned T Corp. to customize. Boil meat with some water for just ten seconds in that thing, and you get tenderized meat with a rich broth that you’d normally only get after three straight days of boiling.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_roland10"Roland(Servant)Creating a taste that’s so rich in such a short time is what makes the restaurant so hot. The only issue is that prices are a bit high. I spent half of my last job’s payout on a single meal one time. But it’s totally worth it.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_roland11"Angela(Library Director)……Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_angela14"Roland(Servant)Oh, right, are you incapable of eating…? Sorry for bringing up useless words, ma’am.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_roland12"Roland(Servant)There are plenty of other places you’d love to visit, so I’ll make sure to give you a tour through the City, ma’am.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_roland13"Angela(Library Director)I can eat, but I cannot taste the food.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_angela15"Angela(Library Director)I do wish to try dining like you people do if I get a chance, though.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_angela16"Angela(Library Director)In any case, we need to finish the task at hand before anything.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_angela17"Angela(Library Director)And the stew… I’ll keep that in mind.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep1_angela18"
