The Purple TearEpisode 1 (Stage: 50012) Location: Reverberation Ensemble Tent Camp Iori (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!! Arfarfbwaeghii!!! NEIIIGHRUFFHIIII~!! Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Breamen_1" Iori (The Purple Tear) Horn… Tuba… Trombone. Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_25-01" Elena (Blood-red Night) I wonder what your veins taste like… Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Elena_1-03" Iori (The Purple Tear) First Violin… Audio: "ch6_Puple_Tear_ep1_Iori_26" Greta (The Eight Chefs) It’s no good eating them raw, sister. 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 Library Roland (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 Entrance Iori (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"
