Liu Association Section 1 — Episode 1 (Stage: 50008)Location: L Corp’s Nest, Liu Section 1 Operation CampMiris(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)Man, I’m dog-tired…Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Miris_1"Chun(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)…What the hell is the Blue Reverberation up to.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Chun_1-02"Miris(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)That’s what you’re worried about? How are we even gonna explain this to the Association in our report…Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Miris_2-03"Chun(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)We don’t have much choice. Just gotta describe what we saw there. There’s nothing we can do about him.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Chun_2-04"Chun(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)Speaking of, I don’t think we’ve heard from Section 2 ever since they went on an expedition to the Library. Did something happen to them?Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Chun_3-02"Miris(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)They’re probably just too busy with the work. Director Xiao must be worried quite a bit, still.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Miris_3"Miris(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)Well, we have our own problems to worry about. We’ve got a few things left to wrap up, so let’s head back inside, shall we?Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Miris_4-03"Chun(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)Pardon the interruption late at night, director. We have a number of issues to address regarding the cases we’ve recently taken care of…Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Chun_4-03"Miris(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)…Director?Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Miris_5-01"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)…Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_1"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)…Ah, sorry. I was distracted with thoughts for a moment. Don’t mind me.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_2"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)You said you have a report to make. What is it?Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_3"Chun(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)A number of experts are going to extract samples from the Distortions we’ve captured after failing to secure the Crying Children, and send them to V Corp.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Chun_5-06"Miris(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)The process is estimated to take a full day. Will we be put on standby in the meantime?Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Miris_6-01"Chun(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)Have you received any contact from the president or the executive board?Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Chun_6-05"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)Yes. They told Section 1 to stay clear of this matter.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_4"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)Hana Association will be taking over further affairs regarding the Library and the Distortion after monitoring the situation for a little longer.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_5-01"Miris(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)They felt the need to take their time to carry out a more thorough analysis and review of the Library now that it’s a Star of the City, I see…Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Miris_7-01"Chun(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)Are we going to pull out of this Nest, then?Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Chun_7-04"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)Yes. You’ll be going back as soon as the extraction is done, so pack your belongings in advance.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_6-01"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)Until then, rest up and get yourselves back into optimal shape. You ought to be prepared for any task.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_7"Miris(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)Understood, ma’am.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Miris_8-01"Chun(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)We’ll be going now, so have a good rest, dir—Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Chun_8-03"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)Wait.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_8"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)Listen carefully to what I have to say.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_9"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)Section 1’s next post will most likely be the Outskirts, where the strife between the Ring and the Pinky is still fierce.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_10"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)We should especially be cautious of the Pinky, so keep that in mind once you’re dispatched to that area.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_11"Chun(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)Duly noted.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Chun_9"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)Miris, overconfidence is your biggest flaw. Be mindful of that, and you won’t face much hardship in the future.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_12"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)Chun, stay on track and proceed. You have the qualities to be assigned a color one day.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_13"Chun(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)Why are you telling us this all of a sudden, director…Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Chun_10"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)…Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_14"Miris(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)…Don’t tell me, has there been other news from our superiors?Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Miris_9-01"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)No. I mentioned all the news I received to you.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_15"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)Instead, I received this piece of paper called the “Invitation” from the Library. It was placed on the middle of my desk, so I couldn’t miss it.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_16"Chun(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)That means, a bit ago, you…Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Chun_11-03"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)You guessed right… Effective immediately, I’m resigning from my position as Director of Section 1 of the Liu.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_17-01"Miris(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)…Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Miris_10-01"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)I’ll take all responsibility and penalty for the unilateral resignation and breach of contract by myself. You don’t have to worry about your careers.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_18"Miris(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)What… did you just say?Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Miris_11"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)I’m saying that my action will not hurt your careers.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_19-01"Miris(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)You know that’s not what I mean!Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Miris_12-01"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)Inside the briefcase behind me are documents containing all the information I could gather about the process of transferring my position to someone else.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_20"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)That may not be exactly sufficient… But please do understand as we have no time to return to the Association HQ at the moment.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_21"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)I am terribly sorry to suddenly abandon my position, everyone.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_22"Chun(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)You’re heading to the Library, aren’t you.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Chun_12-04"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)…Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_23"Chun(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)This isn’t like you, Director Xiao. You know you shouldn’t make such a hasty decision on this matter…Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Chun_13-01"Chun(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)I suggest going back to the Association and gathering more intel. There has to be some useful information.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Chun_14-03"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)You are right. This isn’t like me. It truly isn’t…Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_24-01"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)It would ill become me to be tearful, and yet… I cried for the first time in my life. I never knew I’d have any relation to such sentiments.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_25-01"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)I was reminded of Lowell’s earnest request. He asked that we do not throw our lives away, no matter what happened to each other.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_26-01"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)I thought he was stating the obvious… I thought I could remain calm and cold.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_27-01"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)But when I was faced with loss in reality, I simply couldn’t get over it. I’m ashamed of myself for this disgraceful behavior.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_28-01"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)Anger… heartbreak, despair, sorrow.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_29"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)What should I call this emotion I feel… I’m not certain.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_30"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)There is one thing I do know for sure.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_31"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)I’ve seen countless lies and falsehoods as I climbed the ranks.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_32-01"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)I believed that everything in the City was deceit packaged as truth. My life was full of such lies, after all.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_33"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)The feelings toward Lowell in my heart, however, were true.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_34"Chun(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)I get where you’re coming from, director.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Chun_15"Chun(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)Still, stepping down from your position like this will be unfavorable in more ways than one.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Chun_16"Chun(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)If you break an Association’s trust, you will be excluded from this business in one way or another, even if you open up an Office later. And that’s not all. After…Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Chun_17-01"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)Even then!Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_35-02"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)Has there ever been a time when I was so worried sick?Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_36"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)Has there ever been a time when my heart ached from parting?Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_37_b"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)Has there ever been a time when I wailed, pining for someone dearly…?Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_38"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)Lowell helped me realize that my heart is sincere.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_39-01"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)Thus, I shall gladly surrender my body to the flame of passion for him, to prove that there was meaning to my life.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_40"Chun(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)How could you say it so proudly, ma’am. Director Lowell did, and now you, too…Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Chun_18-04"Miris(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)Alright, Xiao… Let me ask you this straight out.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Miris_13-01"Miris(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)Let’s say that you managed to get Lowell’s book. Then what? Are you doing this with any plans for the next step in mind?Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Miris_14"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)…No. I have none. I’m simply trying to fulfill the will of my heart.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_41"Miris(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)You should know very well how others will look at you if a big-name Fixer, like you, acts emotionally in situations like this.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Miris_15"Miris(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)There won’t be a place for you to return. Is that what you want?Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Miris_16"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)Even if stars were to rise in my sky someday, what good would they be without a companion to watch them together…Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_42-01"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)I’ve already made up my mind. You won’t convince me otherwise.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_43"Chun(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)Do you know that we’ll be following you?Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Chun_19"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)…I expected that somewhat.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_44-01"Chun(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)And you’re not trying to stop us…Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Chun_20-03"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)If you help me… I’ll have a better chance of getting his book.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_45-01"Chun(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)You’re being so selfish, ma’am.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Chun_21-02"Chun(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)What else can we really do when you start acting in a way you’ve never done before.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Chun_22-04"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)I won’t force you. You’re free to choose to stay.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_46-01"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)If you still choose to follow me, however… You’ll have my eternal gratitude.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_47-01"Location: Inside the LibraryRoland(Servant)…The hell did I just watch?Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Roland_1"Angela(Library Director)Maybe you weren’t entirely correct about Fixers, seeing that even the Section 1 director of an Association can make such an emotional judgement.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Angela_1"Roland(Servant)I’m shocked, too. Who could’ve seen that Xiao of all people would be blinded by love…Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Roland_2"Roland(Servant)Looks like the light that shone during the White Nights and Dark Days had more influence than just creating the Distortion or E.G.O, huh…Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Roland_3"Roland(Servant)The impression I’m getting from all the guests I’ve watched from here is that, well… People have gotten more honest than usual.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Roland_4"Angela(Library Director)And what we have seen reinforces that.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Angela_2"Angela(Library Director)I can understand her to a degree. If something were to happen to you, I’d also…Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Angela_3"Roland(Servant)…Whoa, what? Don’t tell me, you’re saying… you’re in, like…Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Roland_5"Roland(Servant)H-Hold on, but my mind isn’t ready yet…Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Roland_6"Angela(Library Director)Sigh… Roland, please save your breath and cut the bullshit.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Angela_4"Angela(Library Director)I know best what my sentiment toward you is, and it isn’t love.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Angela_5"Roland(Servant)Alright, alright, I know what it’s really about, alright. You mean it’s gonna be tough to find another person like me to chat with, yeah?Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Roland_7"Angela(Library Director)Correct. It will be extremely grueling to find and build a relationship with another companion on your level from scratch.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Angela_6"Location: Library EntranceMiris(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)So, at the end of the day we’ve come to the Library.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Miris_17"Chun(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)I can already picture the branch leader furiously grilling us.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Chun_23-04"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)I’m deeply sorry for you.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_48-01"Miris(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)What’s done is done. The choice was ours.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Miris_18-01"Miris(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)Let’s focus on taking care of business now that we’ve stepped into this place.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Miris_19"Chun(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)And our deviation might be extenuated if we produce good results in the Library.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Chun_24-01"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)I am fine with this place being my grave.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_49"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)All of you, on the other hand, should value your own lives more than anything.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_50"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)Yes, I know that this is a humiliating thing for me to say when you’ve already followed me here.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_51"Chun(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)You’re awfully brazen, ma’am. Let’s just rule out the possibility of any one of us dying here.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Chun_25-04"Miris(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)If we get kicked out of the Liu, you’d better give us new jobs to obtain our grain.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Miris_20"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)You have my word.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_52"Angela(Library Director)Greetings, dear guests.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Angela_7"Angela(Library Director)I am Angela, the director and librarian of my role’s namesake.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Angela_8"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)I’m afraid I’m not in the mood to greet you back with hospitality, but manners are manners…Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_53"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)My name is Xiao, and next to me are Chun and Miris. Greet her, men.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_54"Chun(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)…Hello.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Chun_26-02"Angela(Library Director)…Yes, thank you.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Angela_9"Angela(Library Director)…Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Angela_10"Miris(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)What’s with the hesitation, Miss. Feeling guilty for what you’ve done after all this time?Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Miris_21"Angela(Library Director)…Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Angela_11"Angela(Library Director)I’m sure you know what fate your colleagues wearing the same uniforms as yours suffered here, don’t you?Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Angela_12"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)…Indeed I do.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_55"Angela(Library Director)Yet you’ve made this choice. You were not ordered or coerced by anyone else, either.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Angela_13"Miris(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)…You’d better watch your tongue, Miss Library Director.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Miris_22-02"Chun(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)You talk like we’re already destined to die here.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Chun_27-02"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)Enough, you two. What is your point, Library Director?Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_56"Angela(Library Director)I’m simply curious about the psychology of humans… which I know little of.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Angela_14"Angela(Library Director)And of the reason you’re trying to earn him back in spite of the imminent danger.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Angela_15"Angela(Library Director)I’ve also, no… I have seen it more times than I can count, a story of someone looking for substitutes.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Angela_16"Angela(Library Director)From my experience, I cannot understand how you can value your goal more than your own life.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Angela_17"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)Are you trying to assert that I’ll be able to find a replacement for him out there if I tried?Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_57"Angela(Library Director)That is correct. That way, you won’t have to throw away your precious life.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Angela_18"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)A machine won’t truly understand. The feeling of burning blood coursing through my veins because of something I cherish.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_58"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)The desire to have it back by any means, in any form.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_59"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)“Precious” is not a word you should utter as lightly as you just did…Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_60"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)Dreams, hopes, ideals; all the words that describe what motivate humans to get up and live…Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_61"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)Those words encompass meanings too grand for description… But it’s simple at the same time.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_62"Angela(Library Director)I still find that insufficient reason to risk your own life.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Angela_19"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)I won’t deny that. I presume others will overcome the loss of what is precious to them in different ways.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_63"Angela(Library Director)Then why have you entered this place with such pride? Was it ungrounded confidence that you’re stronger than us?Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Angela_20-01"Angela(Library Director)Or were you merely blind with anger?Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Angela_21"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)That… is what I would like to know as well.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_64"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)However, I know that this emotion I’m bearing isn’t wrath or sorrow.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_65"Angela(Library Director)Sigh…Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Angela_22"Angela(Library Director)You can talk big, but it doesn’t make your life any less futile. To walk into the jaws of death for a meaning of existence?Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Angela_23"Angela(Library Director)Sure, you can act all confident right now; because you think you’re firm and sturdy.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Angela_24"Angela(Library Director)But, when unexpected situations start to unfold before you… Will that firmness of yours last?Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Angela_25"Angela(Library Director)I think not. You’ll be the first to break down, rather.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Angela_26"Angela(Library Director)In the end, it’s having a faint hope that just becomes pointless in the face of death.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Angela_27"Angela(Library Director)What can your trifling resolve change?Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Angela_28"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)…Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_66-01"Chun(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)…Is this some kind of warning to turn back?Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Chun_28"Angela(Library Director)I have neither the power nor right to stop you.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Angela_29"Miris(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)You’re really getting on our nerves now…Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Miris_23"Miris(Liu S. Section 1 Fixer)She’s definitely looking down on us. Let’s just get in now, director.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Miris_24-01"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)…Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_67"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)Yes. I have the hope that I will find Lowell’s book here.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_68-01"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)Even if I think of myself as firm, I cannot stop others from thinking that I’m petty. You’re free to think of me as a pathetic human being.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_69-01"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)I couldn’t care less about how others view me.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_70"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)What will a resolve change, you ask?Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_71-01"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)Of course it will not do much. Hope won’t magically illuminate the path ahead. It won’t always be bright.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_72"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)It will be similar to despair in a way… I might be lost in the dark, not knowing what to do or where to go.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_73-01"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)It doesn’t give me a path… Nor does it brighten the way… The two are truly alike.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_74"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)However, they’re still considered two separate concepts with two separate words; because there is a difference to be found.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_75-01"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)The right thing… By bearing in mind what I must do this instant, and taking it to action, the impossible can be achieved.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_76"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)Hope allows one to touch the untouchable… reach the unreachable… and see the invisible.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_77-01"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)I won’t let your words break me; I won’t stand back… Pòfǔchénzhōu. The cauldrons were broken, and the boats were sunk; there is no retreat.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_78-01"Xiao(Liu S. Section 1 Director)So let us enter if you are not afraid of us!Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Xiao_79-05"Angela(Library Director)…Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Angela_30"Angela(Library Director)May you find your book in this place.Audio: "ch6_Liu_Sec1_ep1_Angela_31"
