The Crying ChildrenEpisode 1 (Stage: 40008) Location: Inside a Circus Tent Oswald (Ringmaster) This is… the 8 o’Clock Circus! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald1" Oswald (Ringmaster) We bring the bestest of the smells to City people who have lost their flower stalks. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald2" Philip (Ex-Dawn Fixer) What…? The 8 o’Clock… Circus? Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Philip1" Oswald (Ringmaster) Don’t tell me, do you perhaps not know what a circus is? Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald3" Oswald (Ringmaster) Well, no matter! Venturing into unknown tastes always comes with a stomachache, after all! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald4" Oswald (Ringmaster) We are the circus whose singular purpose is to spread the flower seeds of the people. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald5" Oswald (Ringmaster) If ten people could become clowns and blow up one thousand flowers… Oh, just imagine how wonderfully joyous this world would be! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald6" Philip (Ex-Dawn Fixer) B—Bullshit… This is… Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Philip2" Philip (Ex-Dawn Fixer) Ugh… These are… …Oh, what the…! These… These are all… people… Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Philip3" Oswald (Ringmaster) My oh my oh my! Our new clown friend still seems to be a shy one! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald7" Oswald (Ringmaster) Maybe I should introduce you to the rest of our troupe first. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald8" Oswald (Ringmaster) Alright, Ms. Mermaid and Mr. Knife? Let’s share some of our salts with him! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald9" Philip (Ex-Dawn Fixer) Stop, stop it!! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Philip4" Oswald (Ringmaster) Oh dear, oh my… Looks like Ms. Mermaid didn’t have enough practice with her scaly mane, you lackadaisical girl… Your voice is too small! Or are you feeling timid all of a sudden? Whatever the case! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald10" Philip (Ex-Dawn Fixer) You maniacs… This is all abnormal… Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Philip5" Oswald (Ringmaster) Who gets to decide what’s normal and what’s abnormal, now? Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald11" Oswald (Ringmaster) If everyone wears a hat weaved from fancy rats on their head… Should that be considered normal?! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald12" Oswald (Ringmaster) Haha! Hahahah!! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald13" Philip (Ex-Dawn Fixer) You won’t ever get to be considered normal, that’s for sure… Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Philip6" Oswald (Ringmaster) Harumph, you’re such a rude fellow, aren’t you! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald14" Philip (Ex-Dawn Fixer) The 8 o’Clock Circus… Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Philip7" Philip (Ex-Dawn Fixer) Now I remember. You’re the ones who kept Wedge Office busy… And everyone at Dawn Office died in the Library because they couldn’t help. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Philip8" Philip (Ex-Dawn Fixer) …If it weren’t for small fries like you, maybe my master and seonbae would’ve been safe and sound. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Philip9-01" Philip (Ex-Dawn Fixer) Talk about a coincidence… Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Philip10" Oswald (Ringmaster) Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald15" Oswald (Ringmaster) You… You’re actually starting to give a similar stink as mine! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald16" Oswald (Ringmaster) But the stench isn’t strong enough just yet; you’re still too fragrant! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald17" Philip (Ex-Dawn Fixer) Shut up! I’ll slay you… here and now… Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Philip11-01" Oswald (Ringmaster) Hm… Still smells good, way too good… Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald18" Oswald (Ringmaster) But, what if we mixed that fragrance with a filthy smell to create a new, boggy scent! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald19" Oswald (Ringmaster) Okay, alright. Let’s perform with me, shall we! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald20" Salvador? (???) Young Philip. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Salvador1-01" Philip (Ex-Dawn Fixer) …Master? Seonbae? Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Philip13" Philip (Ex-Dawn Fixer) What the… What are you… Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Philip14" Oswald (Ringmaster) A big hand for the three clowns who will lead the show~ Clappity clap~ Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald21" Philip (Ex-Dawn Fixer) I… What the hell have you done… Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Philip15" Oswald (Ringmaster) Whoopsie daisy, you’re making such a humpy face! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald22" Oswald (Ringmaster) Surprise is a stimulant, one that leads to laughter and entertainment! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald23" Oswald (Ringmaster) A true flower only blooms after you have faced your biggest inner abscess and squeezed all the pus out of it! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald24" Oswald (Ringmaster) You can’t laugh to your heart’s content until you’ve swallowed the fragrant pus of sadness whole, you know? Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald25" Oswald (Ringmaster) That’s where I would like to help you! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald26" Yuna? (???) Philip… I’m sorry I couldn’t answer what you asked back then. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Yuna1" Philip (Ex-Dawn Fixer) Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Philip16" Oswald (Ringmaster) Oh, what an unexpected turn of events?! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald27" Yuna? (???) I… Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Yuna2" Philip (Ex-Dawn Fixer) B-But, master already has a wife and children… Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Philip17" Oswald (Ringmaster) Hahaha! Talk about childish. This is such a typical telenovela we have here! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald28" Philip (Ex-Dawn Fixer) Shut up… You, don’t you dare insult my two mentors with these false illusions!!! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Philip18-01" Oswald (Ringmaster) Pardon? I would never. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald29" Oswald (Ringmaster) Isn’t what you’re seeing right now… the putrid scent that you believed to be true in your heart so blindly and obviously? Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald30" Oswald (Ringmaster) Whether it’s true doesn’t matter! You were so certain about it, too. I don’t get why you could be trying to denounce your own claims now! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald31" Oswald (Ringmaster) You’re pausing it at just the right moment like it’s a rerun you’ve watched over and over… There’s got to be a reason. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald32" Philip (Ex-Dawn Fixer) Shut up, shut the hell up…! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Philip19" Oswald (Ringmaster) “Did you know? The reason I shunned you, and the topic he wanted to discuss with you.” Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald33" Philip (Ex-Dawn Fixer) No… This has to be a dream… That—That pesky damn clown… Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Philip20" Oswald (Ringmaster) “That’s enough, Philip. We were simply…” Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald34-01" Philip (Ex-Dawn Fixer) They’re all the same… You all toyed with me! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Philip21" Salvador? (???) …Young Philip. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Salvador2" Salvador? (???) What efforts have you actually made to advance your goals? Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Salvador3" Salvador? (???) You must’ve spent most of your energy fabricating all sorts of filthy and uncouth delusions about us simply because Yuna was reluctant to answer your question. Am I wrong here? Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Salvador4" Yuna? (???) Do you think you have any right to blame us? Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Yuna3" Philip (Ex-Dawn Fixer) Stop, stop it… I…! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Philip22" Yuna? (???) How pathetic. You ran away alone, and now you’re playing the victim. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Yuna4" Yuna? (???) It was your incompetence, and you didn’t even try to fix it… All you were doing was shamelessly looking for excuses. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Yuna5" Yuna? (???) You ran off without us telling yourself that it’s to save us, and now you’re blaming us for it. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Yuna6" Yuna? (???) You’re believing whatever you want to believe. Because it makes you feel better. Isn’t that true? Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Yuna7-01" Yuna? (???) After all, it’s much easier to pretend that you’re thinking of others before yourself, rather than accept who you really are. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Yuna8" Philip (Ex-Dawn Fixer) You both… abandoned me… died like that. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Philip23" Salvador? (???) You still haven’t realized. It was foolish of me to put my trust in you… Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Salvador5" Philip (Ex-Dawn Fixer) Shut up! Why do you show up now and haunt me!!! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Philip24" Philip (Ex-Dawn Fixer) You keep bothering me till the end… Just leave me alone now! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Philip25" Pluto (Yesterday’s Promise) …It would appear that you require assistance. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Pluto1" Philip (Ex-Dawn Fixer) Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Philip26" Pluto (Yesterday’s Promise) Not feeling quite talkative, are you? Well, it’s fine. We have all the time in the world, so let us open up inch by inch. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Pluto2" Pluto (Yesterday’s Promise) When a person feels victimized or vexed, someone has to reach out to them and give them a helping hand. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Pluto3" Pluto (Yesterday’s Promise) I shall be that someone for you. That is what I am here for. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Pluto4" Pluto (Yesterday’s Promise) Now, hold my hand… Alright, I will kindly extend my arm this far for you. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Pluto5" Philip (Ex-Dawn Fixer) Are you… going to make my wish come true? Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Philip27" Pluto (Yesterday’s Promise) If you utter your wishes, I will give you what you need to make them come true. Does this offer still sound unsatisfactory? Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Pluto6" Pluto (Yesterday’s Promise) I can grant you strength to avenge yourself on that prankster who inflicted much suffering upon you, or I can provide you with powerful weaponry to save the two people you cherish. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Pluto7" Philip (Ex-Dawn Fixer) Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Philip28" Philip (Ex-Dawn Fixer) I… don’t want to hear anything. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Philip29" Philip (Ex-Dawn Fixer) I don’t want to see anything… or speak anything… Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Philip30" Philip (Ex-Dawn Fixer) I’m tired of it all. Right now, all I want is to just… cry out loud. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Philip31" Pluto (Yesterday’s Promise) But of course. I can help you with that. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Pluto8" Pluto (Yesterday’s Promise) Pay close attention to her voice… Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Pluto9" Philip (Ex-Dawn Fixer) Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Philip32" Oswald (Ringmaster) What’s this now?! You started exuding the same stink as mine? Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald35" Oswald (Ringmaster) Aren’t you a man of talent! You never told me you could make such vibrant expressions~! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald36" Oswald (Ringmaster) And… oh. Could you be another new jester to visit us? You’re looking splendid! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald37" Pluto (Yesterday’s Promise) …Yes, hello. My name is Pluto. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Pluto10" Oswald (Ringmaster) You’ve come at just the right time! The three of us could make for a wonderful show~ Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald38" Pluto (Yesterday’s Promise) Now, may I ask you a single question? Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Pluto11" Pluto (Yesterday’s Promise) Was the relationship between the three people you just showed on the stage actual truth? Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Pluto12" Oswald (Ringmaster) Pft, how lame! Why would anyone care about that at this point?! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald39" Oswald (Ringmaster) What matters the most is that the show gave our audience fun and entertainment, isn’t it?! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald40" Pluto (Yesterday’s Promise) Creating illusions from one’s distorted desires, is it… I can see that this place amplifies people’s desires to the maximum. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Pluto13" Oswald (Ringmaster) Sniff, sniff… You’re also a rather smelly individual… Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald41" Oswald (Ringmaster) Ooh, did you also hear her voice? Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald42" Oswald (Ringmaster) …Nevermind that! Nooow, now! The audience is waiting, so please join me in the rest of the show! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald43" Pluto (Yesterday’s Promise) I’m afraid the circus must come to an end as of today. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Pluto14" Oswald (Ringmaster) Golly, what are you even talking about now?! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Oswald44" Pluto (Yesterday’s Promise) Philip, here is an invitation for you. Move onward. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Pluto15" Pluto (Yesterday’s Promise) And Oswald, I invite you to a far grander stage where we can hold the greatest show you could imagine. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Pluto16" Location: Inside the Library Roland (Servant) That’s one miserable guy, I gotta say. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Roland1" Angela (Library Director) Are you sympathizing with him after all this time? You called him selfish and dangerous the last time we saw him. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Angela1" Roland (Servant) I mean, that’s… I’m not really showing sympathy, if I had to explain… Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Roland2" Roland (Servant) I still think Philip is hopeless personality-wise, but the circumstances he’s getting into don’t seem to be helping his emotions at all. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Roland3" Roland (Servant) I know I said tragedies like that are common, but he probably still feels cornered, you know what I mean? Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Roland4" Roland (Servant) He seemed pretty close to overcoming that, but then that clown named Oswald broke his will again. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Roland5" Roland (Servant) So it’s hard for me to just laugh. I don’t really enjoy watching others rolling in a pit of misery like it’s some kind of entertainment show. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Roland6" Roland (Servant) Oh, not trying to be sentimental, of course. That’s that, and this is this. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Roland7" Angela (Library Director) …I see what you mean. It was his own failure to overcome it, after all. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Angela2" Roland (Servant) That aside, I wonder how he ended up looking like this. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Roland8" Angela (Library Director) The surge of emotions crossed the line of E.G.O, which caused him to undergo the so-called Distortion phenomenon… Thus turning him into an Abnormality. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Angela3" Roland (Servant) So that’s how a Distortion is made, huh… I could still use some more explanation, though. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Roland9" Roland (Servant) That looked kinda similar to how people are turned into books here in the Library? Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Roland10" Angela (Library Director) It’s similar to the process of Abnormalities coming into existence as well. That one still seems unstable, however. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Angela4" Angela (Library Director) Distorted desires and emotions… What do you think the stage will show you? Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Angela5" Roland (Servant) It’s gonna be my wife, one-hundred percent. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Roland11" Roland (Servant) You get the picture. The woman who I couldn’t protect walks up to me, I cry in despair, et cetera. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Roland12" Angela (Library Director) You’re quite honest about it. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Angela7" Roland (Servant) I got nothing to lose, so there’s no point in lying. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Roland13" Location: Library Entrance Unseeing Child (???) Where is this? Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Eyekid1" Unhearing Child (???) Who talked shit about me just now?! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Earkid1" Unspeaking Child (???) …… Angela (Library Director) Interesting. There’s three of them. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Angela8" Unseeing Child (???) You have a pretty voice, eh, lady? Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Eyekid2" Unhearing Child (???) What? You don’t even wanna deal with me ‘cause I look like a kid? Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Earkid2" Unseeing Child (???) Did that lady with a pretty voice just stare us down or something? Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Eyekid3" Unhearing Child (???) Yeah, she did. Talk about a weird place. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Earkid3" Unspeaking Child (???) …… Angela (Library Director) How uncouth. Well, guests are guests, I suppose. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Angela9" Unseeing Child (???) What now, what’s up with this noise? Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Eyekid4" Unspeaking Child (???) …… Unhearing Child (???) I bet that one’s making all kinds of insults at me. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Earkid4" Angela (Library Director) See that door behind me? You’ll go through there. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Angela11" Unseeing Child (???) Door…? Yeah, doors are good… Where’s that door at, though? Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Eyekid5" Unhearing Child (???) She’s pointing at something. Is she telling us to fuck off over there? Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Earkid5" Angela (Library Director) Make haste and get in. I don’t feel like getting caught in your annoying powers. Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Angela12" Unspeaking Child (???) !! !!! Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Mousekid4" Angela (Library Director) Audio: "ch5_Crying_ep1_Angela13"
