The place of silence.Binah(Id: 'binah')Most employees that visit and stay here lose their mind and embrace oblivion.Binah(Id: 'binah')It has been a long while since I had a proper conversation with someone.Binah(Id: 'binah')Maybe you were confused with the idea that I’m the only resident here.Binah(Id: 'binah')But there is in fact a companion of mine that passes the eternity with me.Binah(Id: 'binah')Let me introduce her to you.Binah(Id: 'binah')You created the Bucket by reconstructing, dividing, and proliferating Carmen’s body.Binah(Id: 'binah')And you managed to extract Cogito, the so-called fluid of life and death.Binah(Id: 'binah')At first, only a small dose could be extracted. But enigmatically that fluid started to gush out infinitely and now has formed a pool.SYSTEM: Display CG: 'binahCG3'SYSTEM:add_filter ( filter: 'distortion_water_drop' )Binah(Id: 'binah')Can you see her?Binah(Id: 'binah')She’s watching us from underneath the spring.Binah(Id: 'binah')When everything becomes too burdening, I quietly stare into the bottom.Binah(Id: 'binah')I feel as if she and I were the only two in the world when I do so.Binah(Id: 'binah')Sometimes, it feels like she’s talking to me.Binah(Id: 'binah')Even though all that’s left of her is just an amalgamation of flesh, brain, neurons and unknown tentacles, drifting beneath the spring.Binah(Id: 'binah')Someone injected herself with Cogito following her own principles, and someone else went mad for witnessing what happened.Binah(Id: 'binah')Another gave up his own body and fell into a state of limbo, unable to live or die. And the one that couldn’t persevere herself through all this ended up confessing everything to the Head…Binah(Id: 'binah')This is the collaboration of despair that you and her created.Binah(Id: 'binah')You still aren’t qualified to look toward the bottom of the spring.Binah(Id: 'binah')To do so, you must look directly towards the path you travel.SYSTEM: Hide CGSYSTEM:remove_filter ( filter: 'distortion_water_drop' )SYSTEM: Play BGM: 'Awake_In_Death'Binah(Id: 'binah')Do you seek redemption?Binah(Id: 'binah')Or do you seek to redeem me along with all the others that are trapped here?Binah(Id: 'binah')Whatever it is, maybe you think that saving this facility from sin as you have planned will fix everything for you.Binah(Id: 'binah')Just think for a moment. Even you, who hasn’t left this facility for such a long time…Binah(Id: 'binah')You should be aware that people are hopelessly being killed by Abnormalities in other branches even as we speak.Binah(Id: 'binah')And it’s not just them; all the Wings have their own painful stories, repeating perpetually.Binah(Id: 'binah')In the Nests, in the Backstreets, in the Ruins, in the Outskirts…Binah(Id: 'binah')A pain much greater than what you have seen here prevails in the world.Binah(Id: 'binah')I have observed everything conscientiously, for I didn’t obsess myself with an unreachable ideal to lock myself up in a cramped room, like you.Binah(Id: 'binah')The world you looked up at and the one I looked down upon are that much different.Binah(Id: 'binah')You captured me alive and tortured me to your heart’s content, but still we’re sunken in despair.Binah(Id: 'binah')And someone will replace me as one of the Arbiters of the Head, swinging their Claws at people like you.Binah(Id: 'binah')Even if you were to break the cycle somehow, it would be a perfectly, completely useless affair.Binah(Id: 'binah')Broken Wings will outstretch anew.Binah(Id: 'binah')The brief resistance will be forgotten soon, and people will continue living, not for a purpose nor a dream, but rather simply because they cannot die.Binah(Id: 'binah')You may think that you have brought me down.Binah(Id: 'binah')Yet as you can see, I’m still at the peak, looking down upon you lot while you writhe like insects.Binah(Id: 'binah')I eagerly wait for the moment you fall into despair after realizing that this cycle of pain will never end.Binah(Id: 'binah')I want to see you kneel before the might of destiny, resigning yourself to fate.Binah(Id: 'binah')Go on, slowly; despair and succumb to your fate.Binah(Id: 'binah')Try to resist to the very end, and ultimately break yourself.Binah(Id: 'binah')As the last bits of your resistance melt away.Binah(Id: 'binah')We shall be the subterranean water that quietly flows underneath the earth.SYSTEM: Display CG: 'BlackCG'A(Id: 'a')She was mortally wounded by Kali, but she was our only way out.A(Id: 'a')It was a miracle that we captured her alive. We were too far down the road filled with remorse and regret to feel any sort of guilt.Probe her head.Probe her head.Probe her head.A(Id: 'a')How to avoid the Head’s pursuit; the means to join the ranks of the Wings; and the way for us, the few, to survive.A(Id: 'a')It was impossible to figure those out on our own.SYSTEM: Display CG: 'BinahCG1_1'A(Id: 'a')She was hardly breathing, but her encephalon was still active. That was all we needed.SYSTEM: Display CG: 'BinahCG1_2'A(Id: 'a')We probe through her head like we did to Carmen. We search for the way out.SYSTEM: Display CG: 'BinahCG1_3'A(Id: 'a')After that, we arduously gather up every single bit of those deformed pieces.A(Id: 'a')The sentinel who guards the gates of hell must always be in despair.A(Id: 'a')Such despair that they cannot even fall into the depths of hell.
