The Puppeteer — Episode 1 Epilogue (Stage: 40002)Location: Inside the LibraryRoland(Servant)Those puppets were conscious somehow, right?Audio: "ch5_Puppeteer_ep1_Roland8"Angela(Library Director)They appeared so. We could resolve books from them, too.Audio: "ch5_Puppeteer_ep1_Angela11"Angela(Library Director)Although they didn’t have control over their bodies, they still seemed to carry minds of their own.Audio: "ch5_Puppeteer_ep1_Angela12"Angela(Library Director)And they had to witness their own bodies being tugged along by strings while their senses and feelings were intact.Audio: "ch5_Puppeteer_ep1_Angela13"Roland(Servant)Does that mean…?Audio: "ch5_Puppeteer_ep1_Roland9"Angela(Library Director)Yes. The Puppeteer is a Distortion.Audio: "ch5_Puppeteer_ep1_Angela14"Angela(Library Director)And those puppets were its byproducts.Audio: "ch5_Puppeteer_ep1_Angela15"Angela(Library Director)I’ve seen several Abnormalities that could create underlings for themselves, so I can understand this to be a similar case.Audio: "ch5_Puppeteer_ep1_Angela16"Roland(Servant)Poor folks, working their asses off only to be treated like dolls.Audio: "ch5_Puppeteer_ep1_Roland10"Angela(Library Director)I could understand their feelings well.Audio: "ch5_Puppeteer_ep1_Angela17"Angela(Library Director)After all, I used to be a puppet myself.Audio: "ch5_Puppeteer_ep1_Angela18"Roland(Servant)Can those puppets be freed, though?Audio: "ch5_Puppeteer_ep1_Roland11"Angela(Library Director)Killing the Puppeteer may free them from the attached strings, but they would remain ragged dolls.Audio: "ch5_Puppeteer_ep1_Angela19"Angela(Library Director)I must wonder if they’d still want to live in that form?Audio: "ch5_Puppeteer_ep1_Angela20"Roland(Servant)Yeah, fair enough. Knew it couldn’t be that simple.Audio: "ch5_Puppeteer_ep1_Roland12"
