ChesedEpisode 3 SYSTEM: Set BACKGROUND: 'chesedBK', effect: 'none' SYSTEM: Play BGM: 'Tilarids - Forgotten Entrance Of Memories' SYSTEM: SHOW character: Chesed (id: 'chesed') at 'center' Chesed (Id: 'chesed') You’ve done it yet again. Chesed (Id: 'chesed') Lady Angela must have showered you with praise for your work, right? Chesed (Id: 'chesed') “Your efforts will contribute to shaping this place into something better…” (He speaks with a sarcastic voice of dignity.) Chesed (Id: 'chesed') …Such glorious, yet boring platitudes. Chesed (Id: 'chesed') I myself had a burning passion in the past. Being responsible for a whole department, how charming is that? Chesed (Id: 'chesed') I hadn’t even acquired a taste for coffee back then. Chesed (Id: 'chesed') Should I say I developed that taste after learning the bitterness of life? Chesed (Id: 'chesed') Or rather, I didn’t feel like sleeping anymore. Of course, none of the Sephirot need to sleep at all, but it’s for the mood, you know? Chesed (Id: 'chesed') One time, I even insisted on managing the Abnormalities myself. Chesed (Id: 'chesed') I thought that only allowing employees on the field was plain ridiculous. Chesed (Id: 'chesed') Seems pretty absurd to look back on it now. Chesed (Id: 'chesed') You must be asking yourself, why have I become like this? Chesed (Id: 'chesed') Your guess is as good as mine.

(id: 'chesedPast') at 'right' SYSTEM: SHOW character: Angela (id: 'angela') at 'left', direction: 'right' SYSTEM: Play BGM: 'Romantic Memories' ??? (Id: 'chesedPast') Lady Angela, please have a look at this. I spent the whole night researching an efficient method to improve the welfare of our employees. Angela (Id: 'angela') Chesed, what did you write up this time? I told you that this will change nothing. ??? (Id: 'chesedPast') But please, just look it over. This does have a statistically proven impact, and it even costs less. This will be beneficial for everyone. Angela (Id: 'angela') Listen, Chesed. No matter how strongly you insist, using machines in place of human employees will never happen. ??? (Id: 'chesedPast') And why is that? I’ve explained it to you before, it wouldn’t replace humans entirely, simply those who take place in dangerous jobs. ??? (Id: 'chesedPast') It’s clear that it will benefit everyone. The casualties caused by Abnormalities will be lowered, too. Angela (Id: 'angela') How many times do I have to repeat myself? No the first time, and no yet again. Return to your post and finish your work. ??? (Id: 'chesedPast') I’ll never give up on this. I swear to you that you will like the plan in the end. I’ll keep developing and furthering it, and I’ll continue to show you again and again, no matter how many times I may have to.

Tiphereth (Id: 'tiphereth_a') A few of our employees have made the suggestion to temporarily close down that part of the corridor. There are body parts that still have yet to be disposed of. Chesed (Id: 'chesed') Alright. I’ll order it to be blocked, and have them take detours. SYSTEM: HIDE character: Tiphereth (id: 'tiphereth_a'), to: 'left' Chesed (Id: 'chesed') Manager, you heard what she said, right? I need to get going. Told you I’m busy. It’ll be alright. It’d be best not to say anything. Chesed (Id: 'chesed') Hey now, don’t give me a look like that. It was bound to happen sooner or later. Chesed (Id: 'chesed') Surely that Abnormality had knocked them out before disintegrating them… Chesed (Id: 'chesed') I’m— Yeah, I’m sure it was a painless death.
