What happened, their gruesome death, their desperate will to live, all of that has been stripped from the records on the false pretense of “expunging information.”Yesod(Id: 'yesod')There is no way for me to know what the criteria for stripping the records are. They are set by another department, not us.Yesod(Id: 'yesod')We only manipulate the information we receive, per orders.Yesod(Id: 'yesod')Isn’t it funny?Yesod(Id: 'yesod')We’ve degenerated into a department that destroys and manipulates information as ordered, yet somehow we’re still called the “Information Team”.Yesod(Id: 'yesod')Whenever I introduce myself as the Sephirah of the Information Team…Yesod(Id: 'yesod')I sometimes feel something bubbling up inside of me.SYSTEM:SHOW character: Angela (id: 'angela') at 'right'Angela(Id: 'angela')Gabriel was more rational than anyone else.Angela(Id: 'angela')He was unmoved, even after hearing about what happened to Elijah.Yesod(Id: 'yesod')Ms. Angela, what do you think it means to remember someone’s name?Angela(Id: 'angela')Some said he lacked empathy.Yesod(Id: 'yesod')Maybe names were marks atypical beings gave each other, to engrave each other upon their memories.Yesod(Id: 'yesod')Someone might have named you Angela following the same concept.Angela(Id: 'angela')But nobody realized that his emotions were festering on the inside.Yesod(Id: 'yesod')I knew you would say that.SYSTEM:HIDE character: Angela (id: 'angela')Yesod(Id: 'yesod')........Yesod(Id: 'yesod')Referring to employees by name is not recommended here.Yesod(Id: 'yesod')When employees first enter the company, each one receives their own unique identification number.Yesod(Id: 'yesod')This is to allow the company to identify them using the minimum amount of personal information.Yesod(Id: 'yesod')We have their numbers in our data storage devices.Yesod(Id: 'yesod')Malkuth has never called the employees by their names ever since she started working here.Yesod(Id: 'yesod')Maybe she is the most ideal Sephirah amongst all us Sephirot.Yesod(Id: 'yesod')This is not to say that Malkuth deserves to take all the pain as well.Yesod(Id: 'yesod')None of us do.Yesod(Id: 'yesod')What kind of poor taste is that, to lock us inside metal bodies, and throw us into an endless loop of days that feel just the same as yesterday?Yesod(Id: 'yesod')I’m talking to you. What’s with that oblivious expression?Yesod(Id: 'yesod')I heard you might be one of the architects responsible for our creation.Yesod(Id: 'yesod')The only thing I could do here is remember the names of a few forgotten employees, and eternally despair…Yesod(Id: 'yesod')Feeling nauseous from even a single breath of air…Yesod(Id: 'yesod')Have you had fun watching your guinea pigs run around in circles?Yesod(Id: 'yesod')......SYSTEM:HIDE character: Yesod (id: 'yesod')SYSTEM: Stop BGMSYSTEM:SHOW character: Yesod (id: 'yesodVomit') at 'center'Yesod(Id: 'yesodVomit')See, I told you, I have been rotting from the inside for a long time…SYSTEM: Display CG: 'BlackCG'SYSTEM: Play BGM: '10- Dark Fantasy Studio- Until dawn'A(Id: 'a')Gabriel was more rational than anyone else.A(Id: 'a')He was unmoved, even after hearing about what happened to Elijah.A(Id: 'a')Some said he lacked empathy.A(Id: 'a')But nobody realized that his emotions were festering on the inside.A(Id: 'a')Maybe he began falling apart from long ago, ever since Carmen left this world.A(Id: 'a')He slowly became expressionless. He wouldn’t allow himself to have even a paltry joy.A(Id: 'a')He also couldn’t stand having even the smallest part of his body exposed.SYSTEM:wait ( time: '2' )SYSTEM: Hide CGSYSTEM:HIDE character: Yesod (id: 'yesod')SYSTEM: Display CG: 'yesodCG1'A(Id: 'a')We made a monster that was not supposed to exist in this world. We went too far to ever turn back.A(Id: 'a')To not let what Elijah did be in vain, instead of taking the time to grieve, everyone knew they needed to utilize this result to the fullest.A(Id: 'a')He tried to maintain a facade of level-headedness, but his attempts to remain rational slowly morphed into an obsession.A(Id: 'a')He started to wear long sleeved clothing that also covered his neck. Not much later, he started to scratch himself harshly.A(Id: 'a')We suggested he receive a complete medical examination to see whether he was contaminated or had an infection, but he refused.Enforce the procedure.Enforce the procedure.Enforce the procedure.A(Id: 'a')Health check-ups were needed to prevent further damage. Persuasion became coercion, and coercion led to the use of physical force.A(Id: 'a')He was tied and bound for the check-up, but he resisted so desperately that it was hard for us to watch him.A(Id: 'a')Eventually, it turned out that he wasn’t infected at all.A(Id: 'a')Was that really fortunate, though?A(Id: 'a')No, it wasn’t. The examination did not resolve anything. He kept scratching himself. So harshly… Even worse than before…A(Id: 'a')When I saw him last, he wasn’t lucid or cognizant to any human speech, and his body was completely covered in scratches.A(Id: 'a')No one has seen him since then.
