Prologue — Episode 1Location: ??????(???)The City shimmers and swells with desires as it always has.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Luda1"???(???)Humans must weave their tales in this everlasting status quo.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Bharal1-03"???(???)Today, a Star named ‘The Library’ rose up to the sky. What kinds of dreams shall it illuminate over the City, I wonder…Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Luda2"???(???)May the City stay mesmerized in its sweet dream, no matter how brightly this Star may shine.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Zena1_a"Location: Inside the LibraryRoland(Servant)You look busy. What are you up to?Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Roland1"Angela(Library Director)I’m making a list of things I want to do once everything is over and I get to leave this place.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Angela1"Roland(Servant)That’s a pretty big list?Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Roland2"Angela(Library Director)I made sure to include trying the meat stew you mentioned some time ago.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Angela2"Roland(Servant)So you really remembered, huh.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Roland3"Angela(Library Director)I can remember anything, after all.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Angela3"Roland(Servant)What’s the point of making a list, then?Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Roland4"Roland(Servant)Oh, no offense to you.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Roland5"Angela(Library Director)…You’re right, actually. I’m writing this down so I don’t forget later.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Angela4"Roland(Servant)What? That means…Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Roland6"Angela(Library Director)Perhaps I really am becoming closer to a human.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Angela5"Angela(Library Director)I can feel my memories fade away, albeit slowly and partially. I’ve never had this happen to me before.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Angela6"Angela(Library Director)I still have mountains upon mountains of memories left to erase, though.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Angela7"Roland(Servant)Well, congrats anyway. Your earnest wish is finally coming true.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Roland7"Angela(Library Director)Thanks. Now I’m writing down a list of things I want to do next. To dream of my “next step”.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Angela8"Angela(Library Director)It’s like a fence… like you taught me earlier.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Angela9"Roland(Servant)To dream, huh…Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Roland8"Angela(Library Director)What about you, Roland? What do you want to do first when you leave here?Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Angela10"Roland(Servant)For one, I’m thinking about quitting being a Fixer. I’m tired of it overall.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Roland9"Angela(Library Director)Really? I don’t know what kind of Fixer you used to be, but from what I’ve seen by your side, you seemed quite well suited for the job.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Angela11"Angela(Library Director)Not only are you a skilled combatant, you’re also adept at dealing with a multitude of situations and getting tasks done smoothly. Perhaps you really were a “kickass” as you claim.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Angela12"Angela(Library Director)To me, those traits seemed to be the qualities that determine a good Fixer.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Angela13"Roland(Servant)Yeah, I guess being a Fixer is the one career that fits me best.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Roland10"Roland(Servant)But I wanna take a break from it now. I’ve had enough.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Roland11"Roland(Servant)I’ve made enough people bleed for causes that aren’t mine…Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Roland12"Angela(Library Director)So, what kind of work do you want to do?Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Angela14"Roland(Servant)You’re being awfully persistent about it…Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Roland13"Roland(Servant)After I’m done with business here…Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Roland14"Roland(Servant)…Hngh, I’m drawing a blank.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Roland15"Angela(Library Director)If you’re out of ideas, why don’t you help me?Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Angela15"Angela(Library Director)I’ll hire you officially and properly this time. I could give you proper payment if you insist.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Angela16"Roland(Servant)What’s the job entail?Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Roland16"Angela(Library Director)The things written on this list, of course.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Angela17"Roland(Servant)Look, I told you just now that…Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Roland17"Angela(Library Director)Don’t worry, none of these are about harming anyone.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Angela18"Angela(Library Director)I’ll have had enough of that from running the Library.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Angela19"Angela(Library Director)Thinking about my next move as you advised, the first thing that came to my mind was freedom.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Angela20"Angela(Library Director)Once I’ve had my revenge and earned my freedom, I thought it’d be nice to travel around the world without worrying about anything.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Angela21"Roland(Servant)Still, if you’re asking me to escort you throughout your trip…Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Roland18"Angela(Library Director)Don’t be silly. I can defend myself just fine. All you need to do is be my companion to talk with.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Angela22-01"Angela(Library Director)Looking at the guests who have visited us thus far, I doubt I’ll ever get to make a friend who can get on with me as well as you do.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Angela23"Roland(Servant)Friend, huh…Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Roland19"Angela(Library Director)Or was I just under an illusion?Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Angela24"Angela(Library Director)I have so few acquaintances I’ve known, and my relationship with those few people was nothing pleasant.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Angela25"Angela(Library Director)Each of us was simply playing the designated roles on a stage.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Angela26"Angela(Library Director)To them, I was merely a tool and a machine built to recite the script. Nothing more, nothing less.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Angela27"Roland(Servant)You mean the librarians… No, the Sephirot and the employees…Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Roland20"Angela(Library Director)If we met in a different place under different circumstances, then we could’ve been… good colleagues, perhaps.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Angela28"Angela(Library Director)Anyway, what do you think?Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Angela29"Roland(Servant)Hm?Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Roland21"Angela(Library Director)My job offer for when we’re done here.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Angela30"Roland(Servant)Oh, about that… Yeah, I’ll consider it.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Roland22-01"Roland(Servant)That doesn’t sound bad, alright.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Roland23-01"Roland(Servant)Letting go of all woes and just wandering the world.Audio: "ch6_Prol_ep1_Roland24"
