The Thumb โ€” Episode 2 Epilogue (Stage: 50004) Location: Inside the Library Angela (Library Director) The Thumb was bound by their strict decrees, even to death. Audio: "ch6_Thumb_ep2_Angela_10" Roland (Servant) And they shove the Thumbโ€™s rules up othersโ€™ asses too. Because they have the power to do so. Audio: "ch6_Thumb_ep2_Roland_7" Angela (Library Director) Whoโ€™s making the rules for them, I wonderโ€ฆ Audio: "ch6_Thumb_ep2_Angela_11" Roland (Servant) Thatโ€™s a tough question. And I donโ€™t think anyone has the answer for that. Audio: "ch6_Thumb_ep2_Roland_8" Roland (Servant) Hell, I bet they donโ€™t even know when those rules were established. They arenโ€™t much better than those zealots chasing Prescripts in that sense. Audio: "ch6_Thumb_ep2_Roland_9" Roland (Servant) Do you think theyโ€™re dumb for following those unfair rules without even knowing why? Audio: "ch6_Thumb_ep2_Roland_10" Angela (Library Director) โ€ฆIโ€™d be lying if I said no, though I can understand them somewhat. Audio: "ch6_Thumb_ep2_Angela_12-01" Angela (Library Director) It certainly seems pathetic that theyโ€™re blindly obeying them without knowing the reason even if they have complaints. Audio: "ch6_Thumb_ep2_Angela_13" Angela (Library Director) However, thereโ€™s little point in questioning things that have always stayed the same and had to stay the same. Audio: "ch6_Thumb_ep2_Angela_14" Roland (Servant) A lesson you learned from your previous job? Audio: "ch6_Thumb_ep2_Roland_11" Angela (Library Director) I wouldnโ€™t paint it as something as nice as that. Audio: "ch6_Thumb_ep2_Angela_15" Angela (Library Director) It was what I had to ingrain in my head. Calling it a lesson feels inappropriate to me. Audio: "ch6_Thumb_ep2_Angela_16" Angela (Library Director) Itโ€™s just an observation I made; from what Iโ€™ve seen, people who live aimless lives think that they had no other choice. You said the same thing before, right? Audio: "ch6_Thumb_ep2_Angela_17" Angela (Library Director) And now, I got to understand it a bit better. Audio: "ch6_Thumb_ep2_Angela_18" Angela (Library Director) Itโ€™s not that I understand the rules of the Fingers themselves. Audio: "ch6_Thumb_ep2_Angela_19" Angela (Library Director) โ€ฆOf course, different individuals would see them from various perspectives and judge for themselves whether theyโ€™re a good thing or a bad thing. Audio: "ch6_Thumb_ep2_Angela_20-01" Angela (Library Director) Anywayโ€ฆ The warning that Messenger of the Index gave wasnโ€™t worth nothing; with one of the higher-ups gone, the Thumb could be in actual danger. Audio: "ch6_Thumb_ep2_Angela_21" Roland (Servant) True. The Thumb must be bummed to know that an underboss of theirs is now a book. Audio: "ch6_Thumb_ep2_Roland_12" Angela (Library Director) Does that make the Index the only Finger remaining in L Corpโ€™s Nest now? Audio: "ch6_Thumb_ep2_Angela_22" Roland (Servant) Iโ€™m not so sure about that. Itโ€™s up to them to retreat or hold the fort. Audio: "ch6_Thumb_ep2_Roland_13-01" Roland (Servant) Not like we need to care about it. Audio: "ch6_Thumb_ep2_Roland_14-01"
