The Purple Tear — Episode 1 (Stage: 50012)Location: Reverberation Ensemble Tent CampIori(The Purple Tear)Why, you managed to up the ante pretty quickly, kid in Blue?Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_1"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)It’s all thanks to your advice, my dear mentor.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_1"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Without your help, I couldn’t have come this far or joined hands with this wonderful crew of allies.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_2"Iori(The Purple Tear)Come on, you’re flattering me. You’re not the type to say such things.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_2"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Wouldn’t you like to join us?Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_3"Iori(The Purple Tear)Sorry, but I’m just not cut out for music.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_3"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)That’s a pity. I’d really love to return the favor somehow.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_4"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)You were the only one who showed me the light when I was lost, dear mentor.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_5"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Honestly, I thought you were little more than some deranged maniac until you came to me.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_6"Iori(The Purple Tear)My, you’ve got no breaks on your mouth.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_4-01"Iori(The Purple Tear)So, how are things going for you?Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_5-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)The Puppeteer, Blood-red Night, L’heure du Loup, Yesterday’s Promise, the leader of the Church of Gears, the 8 o’Clock Circus, The Musicians of Bremen, The Crying Children, and one of the Eight Chefs…Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_7"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)I’ve gathered the members so sweetly.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_8"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)And we’ve nourished the Library just as you advised.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_9"Iori(The Purple Tear)You were so quick about it, it’s almost obese at this point.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_6"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)I’m so excited, you see?Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_10"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)I can finally be myself soon enough…Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_11-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)I was lonely, to tell you the truth. So painfully lonely.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_12"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)The loneliness born from the belief that we could never understand each other.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_13-02"Iori(The Purple Tear)The two of you suffered terrible things at such a young age, so the bond between you both must’ve been even more special.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_7"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)You’re right. I had thought the only reason I lived was because my sister was alive…Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_14-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Because Angelica hadn’t died yet.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_15"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)But even after Angelica left me…Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_16-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)I was terribly lonely, yet I wanted to live.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_17-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)I just couldn’t give up my life with my own hands by any means.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_18-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Then I had a realization: I was just suspending the inevitable.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_19-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)That I had merely put the meaning of my life on Angelica and run from it.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_20-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)The performance that will soon echo through the City will be my journey to seek the meaning to live… and be the proof of my life.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_21-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)All of us will be freed from loneliness.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_22-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)It’s a farewell to this gloomy and solitary City.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_23-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Like the Pianist, all of us can become one and perform together.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_24"Iori(The Purple Tear)That’s touching.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_8"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)A dirge for Angelica… Yes. You said the power of the Distortion would be needed if I wanted to spread the beautiful melody Angelica showed me through every corner of the City.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_25-03"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Thanks to that advice, I managed to form a wonderful crew.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_26-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Take a look at the members of the ensemble, dear mentor. They can’t be compared to the humans corroded by the City.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_27-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)They were abandoned, scorned… struggled in anguish and sorrow after what they cherished was taken from them…Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_28"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)But they didn’t give up; they clawed their way out of the deep dark abyss, and found their truest forms…Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_29-02"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)True strength can only be pulled out of filthy, fathomless pits of despair… Nothing could rival such beauty, don’t you agree?Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_30"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)With a crew like this… I’ll be able to inscribe that tune into every part of the City once again.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_31-01"Iori(The Purple Tear)While I get that your mind is brimming with enthusiasm… It’s not a won game yet, though, is it?Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_9"Iori(The Purple Tear)You still have to take the Library’s Light in your own hands.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_10"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Hahaha… Ah, you’re right. I was elated like a little child for a moment.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_32"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Even though it’s still not in my grasp just yet…Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_33"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)That light… I could almost touch it, but not quite snatch it…Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_34"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)…Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_35"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Iori, dear. I’m curious about why you live on.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_36"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Hadn’t you lost all meaning to your life ages ago?Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_37"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)I’m pretty sure you’re lonelier than most.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_38"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Yet you still refuse to join us.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_39"Iori(The Purple Tear)That’s harsh, kid. I do have at least one reason to live, you know?Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_11"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)I wonder if it’s true that you know everything, dear mentor.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_40"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)I’m grateful from the bottom of my heart for you coming to me and helping us prepare our performance.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_41"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)I thought you were helping me out of pity… I believed you were motivated by pure sympathy for me.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_42"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)But… the person in our hearts is bawling at us, telling us that it’s not true.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_43"Iori(The Purple Tear)…The person in your heart?Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_12"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Yes. She speaks to me in such a wondrous and clear voice, a voice I’d never ever heard in this world.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_44"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Now, Iori… Could she be speaking the truth?Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_45"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Then, what’s the true motive behind my dear teacher’s assistance?Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_46"Iori(The Purple Tear)Dunno. My guess is as good as yours.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_13"Iori(The Purple Tear)Maybe looking at you reminded me of my son…Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_14"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)What? Hahaha…Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_47-02"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Ah, Iori… You’re such a tearjerker.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_48"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Your son died more than 40 years ago…Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_49"Iori(The Purple Tear)…Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_15"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)…What’s your true motive in helping me?Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_50"Iori(The Purple Tear)I thought you’d always remain a dorky and naive little kid… Looks like you’ve grown smarter after making friends and stuff, huh?Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_16-01"Iori(The Purple Tear)I just needed to give you a helping hand so I could reach a place I wanted to go.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_17-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Mhm. A place you want to go, is it.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_51-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Where could you be wanting to go so desperately to treat me with such kindness…Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_52"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)You have the ability to jump between dimensions, you should be able to go anywhere and know anything with ease…Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_53"Iori(The Purple Tear)Kid. This power isn’t as easily abusable as you might think.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_18-02"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Enough of this fluff…Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_54"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)I don’t want you living any longer, Iori.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_55-01"Iori(The Purple Tear)…Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_19-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)You knew I was going to do this, didn’t you?Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_56"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)What is my all-knowing mentor going to do now, I wonder…Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_57"Pluto(Yesterday’s Promise)For your information, even you will have a hard time escaping the thick layer of barriers I’ve set up.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Pluto_1-01"Iori(The Purple Tear)…Pipe Organ.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_20"Eileen(Church of Gears Leader)That brain of yours you put to work was far inferior to my Thought Gears.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Eilin_1-01"Iori(The Purple Tear)…Harp.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_21"Tanya(L’heure du Loup)How about I break ‘er arms and legs before she can think about running away.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Tanya_1_b-03"Iori(The Purple Tear)…Viola.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_22"Philip(The Crying Children)You’ve lost something precious to you… Surely you can understand us.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Philip_1"Iori(The Purple Tear)…Cello.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_23"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)Aha! How about a snake show drenched in strawberry juice?! The fleshy fruit will make an explosive display!Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Oswald_1"Iori(The Purple Tear)Clarinet…Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_24"Bremen(The Musicians of Bremen)Bwakbwak!!

I’ll make a fine pasta out of her veins once you get ‘em out! Rosé sauce would go well with it. Hawhawhaw!Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Greta_1-01"Iori(The Purple Tear)…Percussion.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_27"Jae-heon(Puppeteer)Leave some flesh and bones for me. My puppetry isn’t done yet…Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Puppeteer_1-03"Iori(The Purple Tear)And Second Violin.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_28-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Iori… We don’t need you anymore.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_58-03"Iori(The Purple Tear)That’s funny. Welp…Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_29"Iori(The Purple Tear)It might have been but a brief moment to you guys, but for me, it was a long and valuable time.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_30-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Please don’t talk nonsense all of a sudden.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_59-03"Iori(The Purple Tear)Now, I have places to be…Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_31"Eileen(Church of Gears Leader)Sir Argalia! She has the invitation!Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Eilin_2_B-01"Tanya(L’heure du Loup)Tch…! Stop her!Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Tanya_2-02"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Iori, let me ask you one question.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_60-06"Iori(The Purple Tear)Angela! You have a guest waiting at the door!Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_32-03"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)…Can you sincerely not hear her mesmerizing voice?Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Argalia_61-03"Location: Inside the LibraryRoland(Servant)…That’s why he’s been recruiting Distortions.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Roland_1-02"Roland(Servant)I’m starting to see why he’s been up to his crazy antics now.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Roland_2-01"Angela(Library Director)…Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Angela_1"Roland(Servant)What’s with that face? Anything bothering you?Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Roland_3"Angela(Library Director)They said they’re after the Library’s Light.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Angela_2"Angela(Library Director)That means their aim… overlaps with ours.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Angela_3"Roland(Servant)I guess so. …Are you scared that they’d steal it from you?Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Roland_4"Angela(Library Director)No. You and the other librarians are handling receptions well enough. I have much faith in you.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Angela_4"Angela(Library Director)Though, I would be lying if I said I had no fear.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Angela_5"Roland(Servant)You can just say that you don’t trust us enough.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Roland_5"Angela(Library Director)That’s not it. Something’s… different.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Angela_6"Roland(Servant)Your attitude being one of those differences. You were full of pride when R Corp. challenged us. Heck, you were confident pretty much all the time.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Roland_6"Angela(Library Director)…You’re right. I wonder why.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Angela_7-01"Angela(Library Director)Most of the guests we’ve greeted so far had a vague purpose. They only sought to earn the books and get back.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Angela_8"Angela(Library Director)Not to have the books themselves, either… Most were planning to give them to their superiors, such as the leader of the Syndicate or the higher-ups of the Association. Of course, all of it was done on the premise that it’ll ultimately bring happiness to themselves.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Angela_9"Angela(Library Director)But the Ensemble is different.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Angela_10"Angela(Library Director)They have a clear objective. And their goal is the same thing I seek.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Angela_11-01"Angela(Library Director)There’s a considerable contrast between those who act in the interests of others and those who act strictly for themselves.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Angela_12"Angela(Library Director)I never had to worry about it being taken in the past, but the situation has changed now, hasn’t it?Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Angela_13"Roland(Servant)So, what I’m getting at is that they scare you because their goal is taking the thing you’re gathering, and not because they might be too strong?Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Roland_7"Angela(Library Director)Yes. Now theft has become a concern of mine thanks to them.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Angela_14"Location: Library EntranceIori(The Purple Tear)Phew~ That was a close call.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_33-01"Iori(The Purple Tear)Age hasn’t stopped my heart from still being so excitable.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_34"Iori(The Purple Tear)That aside, this place handles transportation pretty gently, unlike how I do it.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_35"Angela(Library Director)Greetings, dear guest.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Angela_15-01"Iori(The Purple Tear)Everyone and their mother’s heard about you and your Library by now, so let’s skip the introductions.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_36-02"Iori(The Purple Tear)Since you probably saw what was going on out there… You have a basic idea of how things went, yeah?Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_37-01"Angela(Library Director)…You’re rather knowledgeable.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Angela_16"Iori(The Purple Tear)Looking at the state of the Library… Guess I didn’t have to worry so much.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_38"Iori(The Purple Tear)And you seem to be making steady progress towards becoming a human, too.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_39-02"Angela(Library Director)…Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Angela_17"Iori(The Purple Tear)All thanks to the kiddo being quick to set up the stage, huh?Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_40-01"Angela(Library Director)Then why are you helping me?Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Angela_18"Iori(The Purple Tear)Helping you?Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_41"Angela(Library Director)You ensured the steady growth of the Library in substance. Am I wrong?Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Angela_19"Iori(The Purple Tear)I just couldn’t leave the kid in Blue be.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_42"Angela(Library Director)You want us to make sure that the Blue Sicko and his friends can’t get their hands on the Library’s power?Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Angela_20"Iori(The Purple Tear)Take it however you will.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_43-01"Iori(The Purple Tear)And extract a book from me. It’ll be pretty helpful.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_44"Iori(The Purple Tear)I have a fair amount of info in my head.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_45"Angela(Library Director)You’re asking to be killed nonchalantly… Are all Colors out of their minds?Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Angela_21"Iori(The Purple Tear)Course I’m not. I’ll fight with all my strength.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_46"Iori(The Purple Tear)If you can’t best this old woman… I’ll ruin the Library in my own way.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_47-01"Iori(The Purple Tear)Although I can’t completely kill you, I do have a number of ideas for breaking a being that has become quite close to human.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_48-01"Angela(Library Director)I get what you’re saying. Why don’t you cut the nonsense and get inside now?Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Angela_22"Iori(The Purple Tear)The director of a library where countless bits of knowledge are accumulated wants to part with her past memories…Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_49"Iori(The Purple Tear)What irony.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_50"Angela(Library Director)Just focus on finding your book.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Angela_23"Iori(The Purple Tear)Gee, aren’t you cold. But if that’s what the library director says, I gotta listen.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_51"Iori(The Purple Tear)Oh, and one more thing…Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_52-01"Angela(Library Director)May you find your book in this place.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Angela_24"Iori(The Purple Tear)Whoops… There she goes. I wanted to hear more about the kid here.Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_53"Iori(The Purple Tear)He seemed pretty unstable back then…Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_54"Iori(The Purple Tear)Still, I guess he also played a part in helping the Library expand so much, huh?Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_55"Iori(The Purple Tear)…Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_56"Iori(The Purple Tear)All right. Let’s see how great this Library place is, shall we?Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_57"
