The Crying Children — Episode 1 (Stage: 40008)Location: Inside a Circus TentOswald(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 LibraryRoland(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 EntranceUnseeing 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"
