Liu Association Section 2 — Episode 2 (Stage: 50002) Location: Liu Association - Southern Branch Mei (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) We’ve been receiving reports recently that cases of the Distortion are growing exponentially, centered around Nest L. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Mei_1" Cecil (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) Even private Offices are reluctant to take the work, going so far as to cancel contracts one-sidedly. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Cecil_1" Cecil (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) Not only would they shun requests about dealing with Distortions, they’d also avoid any task related to the Library as well… Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Cecil_2-01" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) …I guess it was to be expected. There’s a reason the Liu was put in charge. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_1-01" Mei (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) Director. I heard that Section 1 has sent us a report about the Distortion. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Mei_2" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) Yeah. That’s why I called you here. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_2-01" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) You both know how we’re encouraged to take records of the Distortion in order to gather data, right? Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_3" Cecil (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) Yes. And our records can only be shown to those in close proximity to a moonlight stone, product of M Corp’s Singularity. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Cecil_3-01" Mei (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) Which we’re obliged to carry for our mission, so it doesn’t matter much to us. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Mei_3" Mei (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) What they sent is no ordinary report, is it? If you’re sharing it with us… Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Mei_4" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) You got that right. There’s something that irked me about the footage that came with it. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_4-01" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) Long story short, the Liu’s South Section 1 has failed to capture the Crying Children. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_5" Mei (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) …Was the team wiped out? Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Mei_5-01" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) No… They just missed it. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_6-01" Cecil (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) But if Section 1, led by Director Xiao of all people too, couldn’t capture it… This can’t be an average Urban Nightmare. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Cecil_4-02" Cecil (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) Has it been exalted recently? Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Cecil_5-02" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) We’ll watch the footage first. It starts around here. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_7_a" Location: Somewhere in V Corp’s Nest Xiao (Liu S. Section 1 Director) Stay sharp, people! We never back down no matter what happens. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Xiao_1-01" Liu Association Fixers (Liu S. Section 1 Fixers) Yes, ma’am! Audio: "때창_ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lius_2" Miris (Liu S. Section 1 Fixer) Director! The Crying Children just fell to the ground. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Miris_1-01" Xiao (Liu S. Section 1 Director) It won’t be flying anymore with that messed up body… We’re almost there. This is the final push, so give it your all! Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Xiao_2-02" Liu Fixer 1 (Liu S. Section 1 Fixer) D—Director… There’s someone… Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lius_1-01" Xiao (Liu S. Section 1 Director) What? Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Xiao_3-04" Argalia (The Blue Reverberation) Aw, you poor thing… Section 1 of the Liu is out for your blood, a little kid. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Agalia_1" Argalia (The Blue Reverberation) Isn’t it sad that no one recognizes the pure and clean melody flowing within you…? Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Agalia_2" Xiao (Liu S. Section 1 Director) …The Blue Reverberation. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Xiao_4-04" Argalia (The Blue Reverberation) Hi there~ Been a while, huh? Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Agalia_3" Argalia (The Blue Reverberation) Your greeting is as sharp and bitey as I remember. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Agalia_4-02" Xiao (Liu S. Section 1 Director) I don’t know what you’re up to this time… But I’d be glad if you could gently retreat and stay out of this. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Xiao_5-03" Argalia (The Blue Reverberation) I’m only here to take that pitiful friend rejected by everyone, that’s all. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Agalia_5-01" Argalia (The Blue Reverberation) Injured, abandoned… And about to be struck down by the likes of you. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Agalia_6-01" Argalia (The Blue Reverberation) How sad… All he wanted to do was cry. I would shed tears for him, almost. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Agalia_7" Xiao (Liu S. Section 1 Director) Cut the nonsense. What more could you possibly want to justify doing this? Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Xiao_6" Xiao (Liu S. Section 1 Director) I doubt a Fixer at your standing would feel that anything is insufficient… Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Xiao_7-02" Xiao (Liu S. Section 1 Director) Don’t think being a Color will save you. If you keep snooping around pulling nonsense like this, your elimination will be in order one day. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Xiao_8-02" Argalia (The Blue Reverberation) To feel that nothing is insufficient… Eliminated… Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Agalia_8-01" Argalia (The Blue Reverberation) Tell me, are you satisfied with your current life? Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Agalia_9" Argalia (The Blue Reverberation) Affluence on the surface isn’t all there is to it. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Agalia_10" Argalia (The Blue Reverberation) A corner of my heart is always empty. When I try to fill it with useless things, it only gets bigger, and strangles me… Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Agalia_11-01" Argalia (The Blue Reverberation) Yes. I’m looking for something, a something that has to fit in that void. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Agalia_12" Argalia (The Blue Reverberation) I think I found it… But I’ve yet to claim it. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Agalia_13" Argalia (The Blue Reverberation) I can’t wait for the day I fill that emptiness and make myself whole. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Agalia_14-01" Argalia (The Blue Reverberation) …Oh, is yours filled already? Filled by a person dear to you. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Agalia_15" Xiao (Liu S. Section 1 Director) …Don’t yap your mouth any further. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Xiao_9" Argalia (The Blue Reverberation) Haha, I can’t dare to crack a joke under your fierce gaze… Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Agalia_16" Argalia (The Blue Reverberation) I’d hate to see each other’s insides today, so could you kindly put this scary fellow away? Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Agalia_17" Xiao (Liu S. Section 1 Director) Just one last question… Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Xiao_10-02" Xiao (Liu S. Section 1 Director) What in the Wings’ name are you planning to do with a monster like that? Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Xiao_11-01" Argalia (The Blue Reverberation) That’s a funny question… Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Agalia_18" Argalia (The Blue Reverberation) When there’s a pitiful thing on the street, everyone gets the urge to bring it home and adore it, no…? Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Agalia_19" Argalia (The Blue Reverberation) I think this one could join me… He looks like an interesting specimen, too. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Agalia_20-01" Argalia (The Blue Reverberation) Don’t you agree, Oswald? Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Agalia_21" Oswald (The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster) He smells too sour right now, but… In our hands, he’ll be letting off a dirty stench in no time! Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Oswald_1" Oswald (The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster) This weird sourness is what you get if you don’t know how to wash a body right. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Oswald_2" Oswald (The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster) I was juuuuust about to neaten him nicely, but Mr. Funnybones over there had to send him elsewhere!! Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Oswald_3" Chun (Liu S. Section 1 Fixer) …What even? Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Chun_1-01" Argalia (The Blue Reverberation) The bottom line is, us taking him shouldn’t bother you at all. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Agalia_22" Argalia (The Blue Reverberation) If I took him, he’d stop destroying this Nest any further. In other words, I’m saving you the fundamental trouble of taking care of him. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Agalia_23" Xiao (Liu S. Section 1 Director) No, that’s all the more reason to stop you. For us, capturing the Distortion is an option. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Xiao_12-02" Argalia (The Blue Reverberation) Creatures are everywhere in the City, does it have to be this poor friend? Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Agalia_24" Argalia (The Blue Reverberation) I’m starting to get tired of talking… So let’s wrap up our friendly conversation here. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Agalia_25-01" Argalia (The Blue Reverberation) Oswald? Give them a show for me. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Agalia_26-01" Oswald (The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster) Ms. Mermaid, Mr. Knife! It’s time to show the skills we’ve honed and whet! Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Oswald_4" Oswald (The 8 o’Clock Circus) This place will be filled with thunderous cheers and wondrous applause~! Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Oswald_5" Miris (Liu S. Section 1 Fixer) Dammit… Director, give us an order! Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Miris_2" Xiao (Liu S. Section 1 Director) Blue Reverberation… Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Xiao_13-01" Argalia (The Blue Reverberation) The three of us can go to a quiet place for some private talk… Pluto? Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Agalia_27-01" Pluto (Yesterday’s Promise) But of course. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Pluto_1-01" Location: Liu Association - Southern Branch Cecil (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) …The Blue Reverberation. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Cecil_6-02" Mei (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) I don’t get it. Why would a Fixer at such a high grade do something like that… Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Mei_6-01" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) That’s beyond anyone’s understanding for now. Only the Blue Reverberation himself knows. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_8-02" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) Anyway, even though the team had no problem handling the troupers of the 8 o’Clock Circus… The Blue Reverberation vanished with the Crying Children in the meantime. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_9-01" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) Section 1 will be staying at the temporary base for a few more days to secure samples of other Distortions. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_10" Cecil (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) So that’s why they hadn’t come back by this morning… I was wondering if anything happened to them. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Cecil_7" Mei (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) You must be worried a lot, director. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Mei_7" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) Not at all. I trust in Xiao. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_11-01" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) Setting that aside… How’s our situation? Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_12-01" Mei (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) Section 2 isn’t exactly doing much better. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Mei_8" Mei (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) The staff we dispatched to Nest L have reported several casualties, including a sizable number of associate Offices… Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Mei_9" Mei (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) If we continue… We might be in serious trouble. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Mei_10" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) Yeah… We can’t just sit here and take the losses forever. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_13-01" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) We did make some progress, though. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_14-01" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) We’ve found that every person who was subject to the Distortion Phenomenon was under extreme emotional stress. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_15" Cecil (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) Emotional… stress, sir? Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Cecil_8-02" Mei (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) It seems evident that those who manifested the Distortion were emotionally pressured to an extreme. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Mei_11" Mei (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) But the thing is, who in the City doesn’t get stressed in their life, really? Everyone’s holding their anguish within themselves. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Mei_12" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) Exactly. This is my speculation, but it might be that the Distortion occurs when the emotions bottling up inside exceed a certain threshold. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_16-01" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) What that threshold may be, or how high it may be… is still a mystery, though. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_17-01" Mei (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) If your hypothesis is sound, the only ways to stop the Distortion altogether would be to reduce people’s stress or heighten each person’s threshold… Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Mei_13" Cecil (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) Neither of which is possible in the City. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Cecil_9" Cecil (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) There still isn’t enough evidence to prove it. We need more info… Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Cecil_10-02" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) Well… It’s our job as Fixers to fix the problems we’re paid to solve. We’ve got to see what else can be done. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_18-01" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) I have high expectations for this invitation. Let’s buck up a little. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_19" Mei & Cecil (Liu S. Section 2 Fixers) Understood. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_MeiCecil_1" Mei (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) By the way, director, how’s that one thing going? Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Mei_14" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) Hm? Oh, are you talking about me entering the dumpling making contest… Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_20-01" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) No, wait… I never told anyone but Xiao about that… Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_21-03" Mei (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) No! I mean the preparation for your first wedding anniversary next month. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Mei_15" Mei (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) I heard you’re gonna give her a Nest migration permit as a present. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Mei_16" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) What? How did you… Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_22-01" Cecil (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) … Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Cecil_11-01" Cecil (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) …Hm hmm. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Cecil_12" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) …Words spread so quickly. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_23" Mei (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) Come on, director. Everyone in Section 2’s gossiping about how you’re spending your newlywed life with Director Xiao the Maiden of Iron. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Mei_17" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) Let’s save that for after we’ve finished our work. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_24-01" Mei (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) Yes, sir! Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Mei_18" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) And Cecil, we should have a little chat later… Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_25-01" Cecil (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) Yes, sir… Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Cecil_13-03" Location: Inside the Library Angela (Library Director) …I’m still unsure what the Blue Reverberation’s goal is, but I think I get one thing for certain. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Angela_1" Roland (Servant) That he’s an absolute nutcase? Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Roland_1" Angela (Library Director) I’m not in the mood for jokes. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Angela_2" Angela (Library Director) From what we’ve seen so far, the Blue Reverberation was gathering Distortions. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Angela_3" Angela (Library Director) No, I’m not sure if they can be called as such. “Distortions” that are capable of thinking and acting rationally… Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Angela_4" Roland (Servant) Sure, that’s what he seems to be doing, but… Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Roland_2" Roland (Servant) We still don’t have a clue why. What’s a bunch of freaks going to do? Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Roland_3" Angela (Library Director) Whatever it may be, I don’t think it will be a good thing. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Angela_5" Angela (Library Director) In any case, we’re wasting our time by pondering over a question we’ll never figure out the answer to on our own. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Angela_6" Roland (Servant) Well… That’s a good point. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Roland_4" Angela (Library Director) So, I suppose it’s common for Fixers to start families? Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Angela_7" Roland (Servant) Oh, it is. They’re often in life-or-death situations together, working face to face. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Roland_5-01" Roland (Servant) Most end in tragedy, though. If a couple’s staying in the Fixer business, it won’t take long until only one of them remains. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Roland_6" Roland (Servant) Exhibit A: Me. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Roland_7-01" Angela (Library Director) Good point. That Fixer is about to meet his end here, too… Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Angela_8" Roland (Servant) …You’re speaking way too casually about it. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Roland_8" Angela (Library Director) Sigh… Roland, I’ll say this before you get sentimental. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Angela_9-01" Angela (Library Director) They could very well make the choice to not come to the Library. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Angela_10-01" Angela (Library Director) Yet they still choose to come here out of their own volition. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Angela_11-01" Roland (Servant) Urban Nightmares and beyond are no longer a matter of choice. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Roland_9-01" Roland (Servant) Urban Nightmares and Stars of the City are designated as such because there’s an invisible sense of compulsion involved. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Roland_10-02" Angela (Library Director) Invisible compulsion? That doesn’t change the fact that they’re able to make choices. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Angela_12" Angela (Library Director) If they have things they cherish so much, why should they risk their lives by going to a dangerous place? Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Angela_13" Angela (Library Director) They have the liberty of choice. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Angela_14" Roland (Servant) …Angela, you were right when you said no one is truly free in this City. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Roland_11" Roland (Servant) Choice and liberty… The things they cherish so much? Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Roland_12" Roland (Servant) People’s desires clash and intertwine with one another to create an intangible chain. That’s life in the City. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Roland_13" Roland (Servant) Them coming here as the Association ordered… Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Roland_14" Roland (Servant) All the guests ending up as books in the Library… Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Roland_15" Roland (Servant) Me leaving the house for urgent work… Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Roland_16" Roland (Servant) They might seem like choices made out of free will, but in truth, our hands were forced by the shackles of others’ desires. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Roland_17" Angela (Library Director) …Sigh. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Angela_15-01" Angela (Library Director) So? Are you saying that I shouldn’t pursue my freedom because I must show consideration for them? Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Angela_16-01" Angela (Library Director) Because I’m a machine? Because I’m unworthy? Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Angela_17" Roland (Servant) No, it’s got nothing to do with those. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Roland_18" Roland (Servant) But if you keep trying to earn freedom this way, the karma will come back to strangle you one day. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Roland_19" Angela (Library Director) Enough of that drivel. This is this, and that is that. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Angela_18" Location: Library Entrance Mei (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) And we’re here! Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Mei_19" Cecil (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) This place looks a lot more antiquated than I expected. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Cecil_14-01" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) It does for sure. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_26-04" Mei (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) Are you gonna decorate your house in this style, director? Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Mei_20" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) Well, Xiao prefers something cute— Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_27-01" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) …Mei! Stop asking silly things and focus on work. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_28" Cecil (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) Oh, so that’s our Section 1 Director’s taste, I see… I’ll take note of that. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Cecil_15" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) Sigh… Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_29" Angela (Library Director) Greetings, dear guests. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Angela_19" Angela (Library Director) I am Angela, the director and librarian of my role’s namesake. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Angela_20" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) We are the Fixers of Section 2 of the Liu Association, Southern Branch. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_30-02" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) We’ve come to retrieve the books listed on your invitation. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_31" Angela (Library Director) You may take them if you can overcome the ordeals. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Angela_21" Angela (Library Director) … Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Angela_22" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) Do you have anything else to say? The situation is pressing, and a quick guidance would be appreciated. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_32-05" Angela (Library Director) …Are the books truly worth risking your life over, however? Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Angela_23" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) What do you mean? Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_33-01" Angela (Library Director) I’m asking if they’re valuable enough for you to give up the joys of everyday life. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Angela_24" Mei (Liu S. Section 2 Fixer) A machine that’s curious about the life of humans, huh~ Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Mei_21" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) This is what I must do to protect the joys of life you just mentioned. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_34-02" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) There aren’t a lot of things that are done out of one’s own volition. And we can’t exactly afford to skip on work we don’t feel like doing. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_35-01" Angela (Library Director) …I see. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Angela_25" Angela (Library Director) So you were… coerced into making this choice. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Angela_26-01" Lowell (Liu S. Section 2 Director) May we enter now? Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Lowell_36-01" Angela (Library Director) You may. And may you find your book… in this place. Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec2_ep2_Angela_27"
