Why won’t you listen to us!!Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_peaple_4-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)You’d better hurry up and recall useful information, friends. This is driving me crazy, too.Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_7-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Following her charming voice, I dropped by every little venue I could guess to be relevant. I searched every nook and cranny for hints.Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_8-02"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)In the end, L Corp, the Library, and… this used-to-be lab were the only three candidates remaining.Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_9-02"Outskirts Resident 5(Outskirts Resident)They’re coming… they’ll be here any moment! They’ll come for us if you don’t close the doors!!!Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_peaple_5"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)The Pianist, who showed up in the middle of the streets… It took my sister…Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_10"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)I couldn’t be there as it happened, unfortunately…Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_11"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Upon my belated arrival at the scene, all that greeted me… was the grand piano with its performer gone.Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_12"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)My sister had become one of the many keys and strings of the piano, joining in the last performance…Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_13"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)What she had become was utterly indescribable.Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_14"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Not because it was horrible, no…Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_15-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Rather, it was just too beautiful for words…Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_16"Outskirts Resident 6(Outskirts Resident)Aaaaaaack!!!! Can’t you hear the sound of clockwork?! They’re coming!!!Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_peaple_6"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)I suppose it’s my fault for letting my dear younger sister marry an imbecile. I couldn’t stop her…Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_17-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Throughout our lives, we could never quite understand each other; our hearts were too far apart to keep each other company…Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_18-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)It was through the performance that we could finally see the feelings of one another…Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_19-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)I shivered with pain and despair for losing my naive and adorable hoyden…Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_20"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)And looking at what once was my sister, I trembled from the enticing melody it created…Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_21"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)That’s when my eyes were opened. I could see it…Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_22-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)I could envision what I can do for her…Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_23-01"Outskirts Resident 7(Outskirts Resident)Aah… They’re here… Wings have mercy…Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_peaple_7"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Playing a gorgeous melody, a neverending dirge… in remembrance of dear Angelica…Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_24-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)A gentle voice whispered to me…Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_25-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)That I shall be able to reenact that glorious performance.Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_26"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)I wandered around following her advice, but I couldn’t find a definitive answer anywhere…Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_27"Outskirts Resident 8(Outskirts Resident)Gahhhhh!!!

I didn’t come all the way here to see some sloppily made creatures…Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_29"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Pluto? Eileen?Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_30"Pluto(Yesterday’s Promise)Yes, Sir Argalia.Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Pluto_1-02"Eileen(Church of Gears Leader)Shall I shut them down for you? Clockwork is rubbishy compared to gears.Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Eilin_2"Outskirts Resident 9(Outskirts Resident)…How… How did you stop the flesh clockwork…? What are you people…Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_peaple_9"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)After wandering for a while, a revelation finally flashed in my head.Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_31"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Ah, yes, it bore a striking resemblance to the beauty the Red Mist manifested as she danced with blood in her mouth.Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_32"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)The Pianist and the Red Mist showed vastly different colors of elegance, yet they were so alike at the core…Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_33"Outskirts Resident 10(Outskirts Resident)Give up, pals… He’s worse than the monsters…Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_peaple_10"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)What a shame, I’ve got nothing. This invitation is the only lead I have now…Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_34-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Eileen, care to lend me a few of your sheep?Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_35"Eileen(Church of Gears Leader)As you wish. Are you sure you don’t need our company?Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Eilin_3-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Don’t worry, I’ll be back in no time. It’s not ripe yet, anyway…Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_36"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Pluto, stick around for a bit longer and see if there’s anything noteworthy here.Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_37-01"Pluto(Yesterday’s Promise)But of course, sir.Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Pluto_2-01"Location: Inside the LibraryRoland(Servant)His two buddies have got to be Distortions, I’m one hundred and ten percent sure…Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Roland_1-01"Roland(Servant)And one of them seems oddly familiar, now that I think about it…Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Roland_2-01"Angela(Library Director)…Is it just me, or is there a hint of sadness in the Blue Reverberation’s face?Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Angela_1"Roland(Servant)You mean the Blue Sicko. He’s just lost it from the shock of losing his sister.Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Roland_3-01"Roland(Servant)The Pianist caused tons of people to part with their precious things in one way or another, but he in particular had to lose it in the worst way possible…Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Roland_4"Roland(Servant)When someone as powerful as him goes completely wacko and starts pillaging everywhere, there’s literally no way to stop him.Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Roland_5"Angela(Library Director)He said his sister was named Angelica. That sounds similar to my name.Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Angela_2"Roland(Servant)Well, yeah. I’m guessing they mean the same thing.Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Roland_6-02"Angela(Library Director)By the way, what were those entities they called “Clockwork Teeth”? Are they the creatures of the Outskirts?Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Angela_3-01"Roland(Servant)The Outskirts are where things abandoned and rejected from entering the City by the Head go.Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Roland_7"Roland(Servant)It’s basically a junkyard for ‘impurities’ of the City. Most people rarely get a chance to see the Outskirts throughout their lives, so they don’t even know that those things exist.Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Roland_8"Roland(Servant)A lot of the “monsters” living there are artificial creations made by humans or things brought from the outside.Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Roland_9"Roland(Servant)And I heard that a good chunk of them have sentience and emotions.Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Roland_10"Roland(Servant)They’re non-humans, impurities whose existence is unacceptable in the City, especially in this age of humanity.Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Roland_11-01"Angela(Library Director)…Just like me.Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Angela_4"Location: Library EntranceArgalia(The Blue Reverberation)…Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_38"Angela(Library Director)Greetings, dear guest. I am Angela, the director and librarian of my role’s namesake.Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Angela_5-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Angelica…?Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_39"Angela(Library Director)My name is Angela, dear guest.Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Angela_6"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Yeah, you’re right. There’s no way something as hideous as you could be her.Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_40-01"Angela(Library Director)Why don’t you stop spouting such uncouth nonsense and head inside already?Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Angela_7"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)A power so potent that even a machine may become human…Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_41"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)It’s as I suspected. The Library has to ripen…Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_42-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Hang in there, Angelica. It won’t be long.Audio: "ch6_Blue_Reverberation_ep1_Argalia_43"
