Chesed vs. Jae-heon (Stage: 70007)Location: The Library – Floor of Social SciencesJae-heon(The Puppeteer)What a marvelous sight. This looks like a perfect place to get sentimental over.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Jaeheon_1"Chesed(Patron Librarian - Soc. Sciences)Hello there~ As much as I’d like to treat you to a cup of coffee, the circumstances say otherwise… What a shame~Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Chesed_1"Jae-heon(The Puppeteer)I don’t believe said circumstances are relaxed enough for such jokes, either… You’re being quite tender. Do you always tend to be that soft?Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Jaeheon_2"Chesed(Patron Librarian - Soc. Sciences)If we can’t avoid facing each other, there’s no need to make it more tense than necessary, now is there? Though I do often hear that I’m carefree~Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Chesed_2"Jae-heon(The Puppeteer)Don’t make me laugh. Is that supposed to be a humble brag?Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Jaeheon_3"Puppet Angelica(Puppet)…Chesed(Patron Librarian - Soc. Sciences)…Jae-heon(The Puppeteer)Would you like me to introduce her?Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Jaeheon_4"Chesed(Patron Librarian - Soc. Sciences)No need~ I’ve got the gist of what’s going on.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Chesed_4"Chesed(Patron Librarian - Soc. Sciences)…This puppet was made after that person, wasn’t it~?Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Chesed_5"Jae-heon(The Puppeteer)It’s a gorgeous piece of work, if I do say so myself. I’d even dare say that it’s my magnum opus.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Jaeheon_5"Chesed(Patron Librarian - Soc. Sciences)In terms of appearance?Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Chesed_6"Jae-heon(The Puppeteer)If I had to pick, that wouldn’t be it. I’m not the sort of man that finds beauty in shapes put together in an arbitrary fashion.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Jaeheon_6"Jae-heon(The Puppeteer)Even if a puppet were as beautiful as a master’s sculpture, I wouldn’t love its look in itself.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Jaeheon_7"Jae-heon(The Puppeteer)They’re neither disgusting… nor attractive to me. They simply are. I have no particular feelings about how they look.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Jaeheon_8"Chesed(Patron Librarian - Soc. Sciences)What do you make your puppets for, then?Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Chesed_7"Jae-heon(The Puppeteer)The thoughts and emotions I hold when I craft them…Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Jaeheon_9"Jae-heon(The Puppeteer)A resentment towards the City for driving me to this desperation, and a blind anger for the rich.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Jaeheon_10"Jae-heon(The Puppeteer)A glimpse of hope that I can bring back my precious son whose life they took.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Jaeheon_11"Jae-heon(The Puppeteer)Bitterness, and… a yearning for vengeance toward Roland, the man who rid me of that hope and pushed me to despair.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Jaeheon_12"Jae-heon(The Puppeteer)I wrap the emotions I couldn’t outwardly express in a human string and shape them.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Jaeheon_13"Jae-heon(The Puppeteer)I take out the useless chunks of meat… and fill their insides with the emotional baggage I’m carrying.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Jaeheon_14"Jae-heon(The Puppeteer)I can breathe easy after I indulge in my craft… That’s when I feel alive at last.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Jaeheon_15"Jae-heon(The Puppeteer)Do you see how dear the puppets are to me now?Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Jaeheon_16"Chesed(Patron Librarian - Soc. Sciences)Stuffing your emotions in them, huh…Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Chesed_8"Chesed(Patron Librarian - Soc. Sciences)I don’t understand it, but I won’t bother giving my thoughts on it~Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Chesed_9"Chesed(Patron Librarian - Soc. Sciences)I’m still not very happy about what you did to Roland, though.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Chesed_10"Jae-heon(The Puppeteer)He robbed me of a person I cherish… so I gave him the same treatment.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Jaeheon_17"Chesed(Patron Librarian - Soc. Sciences)You said he burned down your whole lab, yeah?Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Chesed_11"Jae-heon(The Puppeteer)Yes. My son was lost in that fire, not a piece of him left to salvage. …Are you trying to express sympathy for me?Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Jaeheon_18"Chesed(Patron Librarian - Soc. Sciences)Nah~ We aren’t close enough to worry for each other.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Chesed_12"Chesed(Patron Librarian - Soc. Sciences)I was just curious~ I wanted to know if vengeance was your only goal in coming here.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Chesed_13"Jae-heon(The Puppeteer)Although we have minor differences, all the members of our ensemble strive to reach the same place.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Jaeheon_19"Jae-heon(The Puppeteer)Vengeance pointed at Roland was only an intersection we happened to come across on our way to it. It was never at the center of my motive.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Jaeheon_20"Jae-heon(The Puppeteer)Well, thanks to him, I won’t have any regrets making my way through.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Jaeheon_21"Chesed(Patron Librarian - Soc. Sciences)It’s tragic that we all have our own little stories, isn’t it?Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Chesed_14"Chesed(Patron Librarian - Soc. Sciences)We can’t be free of guilt no matter what we do.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Chesed_15"Jae-heon(The Puppeteer)That’s precisely why one has to focus solely on what they want to do.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Jaeheon_22"Chesed(Patron Librarian - Soc. Sciences)I too wish for a world in which individuals are free to express the flavors they want to exude~Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Chesed_16"Chesed(Patron Librarian - Soc. Sciences)But, is that freedom really the kind that frees one from all responsibility of what they do?Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Chesed_17"Jae-heon(The Puppeteer)People who want to live for others can’t take a step forward themselves.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Jaeheon_23"Jae-heon(The Puppeteer)There’s a limitless range of dreams individuals want to bring out.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Jaeheon_24"Jae-heon(The Puppeteer)And you must know that the possibility of pursuing your own freedom while you consider everyone else is nothing short of a myth.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Jaeheon_25"Jae-heon(The Puppeteer)If one were to take into consideration the width of the potential each person has…Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Jaeheon_26"Jae-heon(The Puppeteer)…Never mind, that’s for you to think about. After all, that’s not the kind of world I want to see.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Jaeheon_27"Jae-heon(The Puppeteer)I’m not here for a leisurely debate, so let’s get to business now.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Jaeheon_28"Chesed(Patron Librarian - Soc. Sciences)Yeah~ That is a good point.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Chesed_18"Chesed(Patron Librarian - Soc. Sciences)Well then, fellows. As usual… let’s receive our guests.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_CJ_Chesed_19"
