HodEpisode 6 SYSTEM: Set BACKGROUND: 'AngelaBackground', effect: 'none' SYSTEM: SHOW character: Angela (id: 'angela') at 'center' SYSTEM: Play BGM: '11- Dark Fantasy Studio- 13 sins' Angela (Id: 'angela') Do you believe that there is truly inexcusable behaviour? Angela (Id: 'angela') Nobody is perfect. Angela (Id: 'angela') If we realized that in forgiving others, your enemy didn’t deserve forgiveness but rather that you needed peace, would things be better? SYSTEM: Display CG: 'BlackCG' SYSTEM: wait ( time: '2' ) SYSTEM: HIDE character: Angela (id: 'angela') SYSTEM: Hide CG SYSTEM: Set BACKGROUND: 'warehouseBK_2', effect: 'none' SYSTEM: SHOW character: ??? (id: 'hodPast') at 'center' A (Id: 'a') Are you sure you can really join our experiment in such an unstable situation? A (Id: 'a') Michelle, let me cut to the chase; we are performing experiments that go directly against the Head’s ideals. A (Id: 'a') If your beloved parents, or your precious friends try to coax you, are you confident that you’d be able to refuse them? A (Id: 'a') ..... A (Id: 'a') She wasn’t able to say anything to my browbeating. Carmen broke the silence instead. SYSTEM: Display CG: 'BlackCG' SYSTEM: wait ( time: '2' ) SYSTEM: Hide CG SYSTEM: HIDE character: ??? (id: 'hodPast') SYSTEM: Display CG: 'HodCG2' ??? (Id: 'c') Don’t be too harsh on her. She’s amazing to be here at such a young age! A (Id: 'a') Just like everyone else, Michelle liked Carmen. That was not trickery or a show. She wasn’t the manipulative sort of person who’d keep up such a facade, either. A (Id: 'a') I should’ve made her give the answer she avoided speaking no matter what. A (Id: 'a') Did Michelle receive what she wanted? A (Id: 'a') I don’t know. A (Id: 'a') Did she accomplish her purpose by trampling on us, and Carmen? A (Id: 'a') I’ll never know. A (Id: 'a') Do I have any right to bear hatred towards her? A (Id: 'a') The answer was “no”. I was no different from her. A (Id: 'a') To be honest, I never wanted you to die in misery, like that nasty tabloid article gossiped. SYSTEM: Display CG: 'BlackCG' SYSTEM: wait ( time: '2' ) SYSTEM: Hide CG SYSTEM: Set BACKGROUND: 'hodBK', effect: 'none' SYSTEM: Play BGM: 'Tilarids - Strange Dream' SYSTEM: SHOW character: Hod (id: 'hod') at 'center' Hod (Id: 'hod') Were you able to successfully face yourself, manager? Hod (Id: 'hod') When I awoke to find myself here, I thought this could be my second chance. Hod (Id: 'hod') I thought I could redeem myself and liberate myself from my mistakes. Hod (Id: 'hod') What I did can never be undone. A sunken pebble can never float to the surface again. Hod (Id: 'hod') I wanted to be a kind person. I wanted to show everyone that I might be okay here, somehow. Hod (Id: 'hod') Was I truly being considerate of others? Silly me, there’s no room for something like that here. Hod (Id: 'hod') I was a hypocrite, all those “nice” acts were for myself. Hod (Id: 'hod') I’ll keep trying to be a better person, even now. Hod (Id: 'hod') It may be specious, and some people may hate me for that, but as long as my efforts can save a person's life or give a person the consolation they need… Hod (Id: 'hod') I will live on, with that pride as a stepping stone.

(Id: 'hodRobot') Let’s keep trying together, in this interminable hell.
