BinahEpisode 1 SYSTEM: Set BACKGROUND: 'binahBK', effect: 'none' SYSTEM: Play BGM: '2 - Into The Deep' SYSTEM: SHOW character: Binah (id: 'binah') at 'center' Binah (Id: 'binah') You’ve returned. Binah (Id: 'binah') So, did you have fun with your little journey while I was locked up here? Binah (Id: 'binah') Don’t worry, I’m not mad with you. Binah (Id: 'binah') “Oh Sorrow, you see, finally I have come to respect you, for I know you will never depart.” Binah (Id: 'binah') It’s difficult to perceive the flow of time here. Binah (Id: 'binah') Therefore this eternity has saved me. Binah (Id: 'binah') Have you seen the turbid streams of the enormous river that crossed the whole city? Binah (Id: 'binah') If you arrive downstream, after the raging rapids and a serpentine current… Binah (Id: 'binah') You will see a meadow that is enormously broad, but also tranquil. Binah (Id: 'binah') That land is bathed with all kinds of mud, sand, trash, and the residuals that have come from the upstream. Binah (Id: 'binah') What isn’t caught by the upstream or midstream finally ends up here, downstream… Binah (Id: 'binah') To bear all the residues that pile up, one would need a strong back that doesn’t break easily. Binah (Id: 'binah') I have faced many Wells here. Binah (Id: 'binah') I have to draw water every single day, but it seems that the water level never lowers. What is a Well? Binah (Id: 'binah') The Well is so deep that it would be a hollow affair to reckon its depth. Binah (Id: 'binah') And it is the fount and relic of all humanity that has existed from the ancient times. Binah (Id: 'binah') The water from the Well had never flown outside, ever. There had only been the small ripples that permeated from the leaves that fall for the winds. What does it mean to draw water? Binah (Id: 'binah') Our labor is bringing up the water that is deep within the Well to the outside. Binah (Id: 'binah') You never know what the Bucket contains when it rises from the eternal darkness, but I always draw the water with a pulley, come what may. Binah (Id: 'binah') You must always stay cautious so that you don’t fall into the Well. Binah (Id: 'binah') Maybe it was an act of generosity towards those that are thirsty, so that they may sate themselves. Binah (Id: 'binah') It was you who made the Bucket. Binah (Id: 'binah') But you left the duty of drawing water with the Bucket to another. Binah (Id: 'binah') Don’t ask for my name. Binah (Id: 'binah') “Binah” isn’t the name of a person. Binah (Id: 'binah') It’s a sad name of the place where one finds many graves. Binah (Id: 'binah') I’m the one who draws the water. Binah (Id: 'binah') Why have you come here, and what do you wish for me to draw?
