Prologue — Episode 1Location: Inside the LibraryAngela(Library Director)You know what, Roland?Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_1"Angela(Library Director)I’ve been feeling ecstatic these days; the memories are fading.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_2"Roland(Servant)You mean the harsh memories of working in that awful corporation?Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Roland_1"Angela(Library Director)Yes. Those cruel times…Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_3"Angela(Library Director)The things I didn’t want to see are becoming faint; the things I didn’t want to remember are melting away.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_4"Angela(Library Director)When I close my eyes, the moments that come to remembrance are of three or four days ago, not one million years in the past.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_5"Angela(Library Director)They are the times of my own… claimed through my own choice.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_6"Angela(Library Director)And the flow of time is faster than ever for me.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_7"Angela(Library Director)I’m no longer shackled to the fetter of perceiving the hours 100 times slower than humans do.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_8"Angela(Library Director)I feel happier with each new day, you know?Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_9"Roland(Servant)I’ve never seen you looking so happy before.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Roland_2"Roland(Servant)What do you think of the City and its people that are breaking down because of the Distortion, though?Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Roland_3"Angela(Library Director)…That, I can’t quite receive with a smile.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_10"Angela(Library Director)Still, the despicable man who had locked me up for one million years would fall to despair if he saw what’s happening now.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_11"Angela(Library Director)Yes… He’ll endlessly despair.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_12"Angela(Library Director)His idiotic and flawed plan caused more people to wallow in agony.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_13"Angela(Library Director)He’s going to pay his price in full soon enough.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_14"Roland(Servant)About this revenge you’re trying to get, are you gonna bring down the whole City at the end of it?Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Roland_4"Angela(Library Director)Bring down? No. I told you my aim before.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_15"Angela(Library Director)I will become free along with the librarians.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_16"Angela(Library Director)On top of that, the Abnormalities that are wandering inside this Library lacking a physical form will be able to leave.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_17"Angela(Library Director)Garnering strength by devouring powerful individuals, the Abnormalities would roam the City as they like.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_18"Angela(Library Director)That’s what my plan is. I’m setting them free to do whatever they want.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_19"Angela(Library Director)And they’ll leave a mark deeper than any Distortion could on the City.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_20"Angela(Library Director)The one absolute and perfect book shall be the guide to teach me how to do it all.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_21"Roland(Servant)You’ve got the same ideas as the Blue Sicko out there, huh. The two of you would make wonderful partners in crime.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Roland_5"Angela(Library Director)You’re wrong. There’s a world of difference. I have no interest in the “beauty” that Distortions or Abnormalities can arouse.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_22"Angela(Library Director)I simply want them to live as they wish, whether they’re beautiful or unsightly.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_23"Angela(Library Director)Besides, even if the Blue Reverberation’s intentions were similar to mine, I would never give away my precious possession to a man like that.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_24"Roland(Servant)So you just wanna feel the joy of vengeance, whatever the consequences of your actions might be.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Roland_6"Angela(Library Director)That’s what I must do. I was forced to witness countless deaths while reciting a script like a promptress.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_25"Angela(Library Director)Such things… are all I could watch and learn. I have to do what I can do well.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_26"Angela(Library Director)It’s the only thing I know how to do…Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_27"Angela(Library Director)I have to feel joy as I witness the fall of the plan devised by the man I love yet hate.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_28"Angela(Library Director)Even though it’s not… enjoyable to see the City and its people suffer because of me…Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_29"Angela(Library Director)I still have to feel happy. I’m obliged to.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_30"Angela(Library Director)It’s what I’ve been waiting for… until now…Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_31"Angela(Library Director)If I don’t do this, I won’t be compensated for the million years of lone suffering—nowhere else would I be repaid…Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_32"Angela(Library Director)…I still long for vengeance. However…Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_33"Angela(Library Director)…Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_34"Angela(Library Director)Forget it. I could spend all day thinking it over, but I’d reach the same conclusion regardless.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_35"Angela(Library Director)I’ll find the one book at all costs and make my wish come true.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_36"Roland(Servant)If there is a next time… Then it might be nice to have someone else to think about it together, rather than just grappling with it alone.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Roland_7"Angela(Library Director)I suppose that’s not a bad idea.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_37"Angela(Library Director)And then… As I previously said, I want to travel around the world. It’ll certainly be fun.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_38"Angela(Library Director)Once I’ve laid down all the burdens, of course.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Angela_39"Roland(Servant)…Alright. Let’s give that plan some good thought after we’re done with everything.Audio: "ch7_Prol_ep1_Roland_8"
