LC::tiphereth3_introTiphereth — Episode 3SYSTEM: Set BACKGROUND: 'tipherethBK', effect: 'none'SYSTEM:SHOW character: Tiphereth (id: 'tiphereth_b') at 'left'SYSTEM: Play BGM: 'Tilarids - Forgotten Entrance Of Memories'Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')…Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')If you’re looking for Tiphereth, she’s still at the Middle Layer meeting.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')…Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')I’m bad at holding conversations. I kinda miss the managers who were more talkative at times like this.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')Hey, there’s something I wanted to ask.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')Have you noticed that someone’s memory and emotion bleeds and seeps out of us?Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')As you’ve seen, we act angry, feel happy, want things, and look sad, even though we’re machines.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')We even have our own weaknesses.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')Why is that? What’s inside of us?Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')If “something” is really inside us, then why? Why make something imperfect, planting weakness?Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')I tried to find the answer…Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')But I really couldn’t get it.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')I’m sure you have that answer.SYSTEM: Play BGM: 'Tilarids - mirror dimensions'Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')Locked away somewhere in your memory.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')Maybe there’s a reason why there has to be imperfection?Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')We’re machines, yet, not machines…Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')Not… machines…SYSTEM:SHOW character: Tiphereth (id: 'tiphereth_a') at 'right-full', direction: 'left'SYSTEM: Play BGM: 'Tilarids - Frozen Moon'Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_a')Hey, are you two having fun without me?Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_a')...Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_a')Tiphereth, it’s troublesome to have a conversation that’s this fun.SYSTEM:SHOW character: Angela (id: 'angela') at 'center', direction: 'right'Angela(Id: 'angela')It appears it is time for another replacement. The cycle is getting shorter and shorter.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_a')But it can be rebuilt anytime we need, right?Angela(Id: 'angela')Well, it’s still an asset to the corporation, so I would prefer not to have it go to waste.Angela(Id: 'angela')Tiphereth, perhaps we should explain it to the manager first.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_a')Huh, why?Angela(Id: 'angela')I’ve told you, Tiphereth, the human mind is a fragile thing. It’s not capable enough to perceive the existence of beings like us in our wholeness.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_a')I mean, it’s not that gross. It’s nothing compared to, like, decapitating an employee, or slicing open their torso with their guts spilling out.Angela(Id: 'angela')Humans are susceptible to the unknown. The scene doesn’t always have to be graphic to break the mind.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_a')Ugh… there’s so much to be mindful of…Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_a')Why can’t they just replace managers with machines? We could simply replace them whenever they try to do something stupid, like how we replace Tiphereth.Angela(Id: 'angela')Tiphereth, there are things only humans are able to take care of. The founder of Lobotomy Corporation must have had a reason for assigning a human manager.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_a')Well then… off we go to “storage”. That’s one of the few locations where the Cognition Filter is weakened.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')I know that place.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_a')Tiphereth, what are you talking about? It’s where we always go during work.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')I don’t mean that.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')I remember what happened there last time.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_a')…..Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_a')You do? That’s great.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_a')Thank you for helping me, like you always do.
