The Thumb — Episode 2 Epilogue (Stage: 50004)Location: Inside the LibraryAngela(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 Thumb’s rules up others’ asses too. Because they have the power to do so.Audio: "ch6_Thumb_ep2_Roland_7"Angela(Library Director)Who’s making the rules for them, I wonder…Audio: "ch6_Thumb_ep2_Angela_11"Roland(Servant)That’s a tough question. And I don’t think anyone has the answer for that.Audio: "ch6_Thumb_ep2_Roland_8"Roland(Servant)Hell, I bet they don’t even know when those rules were established. They aren’t much better than those zealots chasing Prescripts in that sense.Audio: "ch6_Thumb_ep2_Roland_9"Roland(Servant)Do you think they’re dumb for following those unfair rules without even knowing why?Audio: "ch6_Thumb_ep2_Roland_10"Angela(Library Director)…I’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 they’re blindly obeying them without knowing the reason even if they have complaints.Audio: "ch6_Thumb_ep2_Angela_13"Angela(Library Director)However, there’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 wouldn’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)It’s just an observation I made; from what I’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)It’s not that I understand the rules of the Fingers themselves.Audio: "ch6_Thumb_ep2_Angela_19"Angela(Library Director)…Of course, different individuals would see them from various perspectives and judge for themselves whether they’re a good thing or a bad thing.Audio: "ch6_Thumb_ep2_Angela_20-01"Angela(Library Director)Anyway… The warning that Messenger of the Index gave wasn’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 Corp’s Nest now?Audio: "ch6_Thumb_ep2_Angela_22"Roland(Servant)I’m not so sure about that. It’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"
