Epilogue — Episode 1Location: Hana Association HeadquartersHana Association General ManagerEven though the Star we called the Library has fallen, the phenomenon of the Distortion is still ongoing.Audio: "ch7_____Hana_1"Hana Western Branch ManagerIt’s time we established a new Association, as someone pointed out.Audio: "ch7_____West_1"Hana Eastern Branch ManagerYou mean an Association to take charge of Distortions exclusively, as countless suggestions have asked for?Audio: "ch7_____East_1"Hana Western Branch ManagerThe Purple Tear has been submitting a mount of documents as if she’s been waiting for this moment.Audio: "ch7_____West_2"Hana Northern Branch ManagerShe was the one said to be capable of walking between multiple dimensions due to the influence of a Singularity.Audio: "ch7_____South_1"Hana Eastern Branch ManagerPerhaps she’s walked into the borders of the beyond. It seems she’s still seeing further ahead than anyone else, yet she won’t look back at herself.Audio: "ch7_____East_2"Hana Association PresidentAn Association of Fixers specifically dealing with Distortions, is it…Audio: "ch7_____Hana_2_1"Iori(The Purple Tear)Knock-knock~ There’s plenty of demand, y’know?Audio: "ch7_____Iori_1"Iori(The Purple Tear)No need to scratch your heads weighing the gains. Some Wings have already begun to make a move.Audio: "ch7_____Iori_2"Iori(The Purple Tear)Offices focusing on Distortions are a moneymaker on the rise. Better be the first to take grip of the market.Audio: "ch7_____Iori_3"Iori(The Purple Tear)Besides, the Distortion phenomenon is starting to take a new turn ever since the Library case.Audio: "ch7_____Iori_4"Iori(The Purple Tear)You guys have heard about the tower that’s magically shown itself in the Outskirts, right?Audio: "ch7_____Iori_5"Hana Southern Branch ManagerYou’re still as rude as ever! Don’t you know how to knock properly?Audio: "ch7_____North_1"Iori(The Purple Tear)Sheesh, it’s not like I didn’t~Audio: "ch7_____Iori_6"Hana Northern Branch ManagerYou are correct. We did receive reports about the towerlike structure which has appeared in the Outskirts.Audio: "ch7_____South_2"Hana Northern Branch ManagerBut it apparently would disappear like a mirage once they tried to approach it.Audio: "ch7_____South_3"Iori(The Purple Tear)Yeah, that. That’s probably the new Library.Audio: "ch7_____Iori_7"Iori(The Purple Tear)Though, it looks like it’s operating in a different way now.Audio: "ch7_____Iori_8"Hana Association PresidentPressuring us won’t allow you to skip the standard procedures, Purple Tear. You even have the audacity to suggest that you’ll be in charge of organizing the Association alone.Audio: "ch7_____Hana_2_2"Iori(The Purple Tear)To deal with Abnormalities born out of the twists and distorting of humans, you’ll want specialized gear; the distinct equipment L Corp. had dubbed ‘E.G.O’ is the most appropriate for the job.Audio: "ch7_____Iori_10"Iori(The Purple Tear)The thing about E.G.O, though, is that not any person can handle it. We need those who meet the qualifications.Audio: "ch7_____Iori_11"Hana Association PresidentYou mean the so-called… ‘E.G.O.I.S.Ts’, according to your documents.Audio: "ch7_____Hana_2_3"Iori(The Purple Tear)Yeppers. You know I’ve got a sharp eye for people… It wouldn’t hurt to let me take charge.Audio: "ch7_____Iori_12"Iori(The Purple Tear)We should take the initiative in shaping the system our way.Audio: "ch7_____Iori_13"Iori(The Purple Tear)Right now, the public’s ideas are all over the place—as is evident with terms like “Distortions”, “Abnormalities”, and even plain “creatures” being thrown around.Audio: "ch7_____Iori_14"Iori(The Purple Tear)The first to define the concepts and terms will gain the upper hand in the game of control. You know that better than anyone.Audio: "ch7_____Iori_15"Hana Association President…We’ll consider your proposal with an open mind.Audio: "ch7_____Hana_2_4"Iori(The Purple Tear)Alright then! I’ll be expecting good news from you, okay?Audio: "ch7_____Iori_16"
