YesodEpisode 5 SYSTEM: Play BGM: '4 - Through The Mist' SYSTEM: Set BACKGROUND: 'BlackCG', effect: 'none' SYSTEM: SHOW character: Hod (id: 'hod') at 'center' Hod (Id: 'hod') Yesod, do you really feel nothing about this? SYSTEM: HIDE character: Hod (id: 'hod') SYSTEM: SHOW character: Netzach (id: 'netzach') at 'center' Netzach (Id: 'netzach') Try drinking some Enkephalin. Close your eyes, and open them again. SYSTEM: HIDE character: Netzach (id: 'netzach') SYSTEM: SHOW character: Angela (id: 'angela') at 'center' Angela (Id: 'angela') I am glad to see that you are not as feeble-minded as the other Sephirot. It is important to keep a clear mind in any situation. SYSTEM: HIDE character: Angela (id: 'angela') ??? (Id: 'no') …....Gabriel, why are you scratching yourself so much? SYSTEM: Display CG: 'BlackCG' SYSTEM: wait ( time: '1' ) SYSTEM: Hide CG SYSTEM: Set BACKGROUND: 'yesodBK', effect: 'none' SYSTEM: SHOW character: Yesod (id: 'yesod') at 'center' Yesod (Id: 'yesod') Seeing as we’re meeting again, you must have completed your tasks, manager. Yesod (Id: 'yesod') I’d give you a compliment if I didn’t have so much work to do. Yesod (Id: 'yesod') The Information Team has a task they must do periodically. Yesod (Id: 'yesod') You must have realized that there are some blanks in the Abnormality Records. Yesod (Id: 'yesod') Among the tremendous amount of information we gather, there are some that should remain off limits to the employees for security reasons. Yesod (Id: 'yesod') The names of the employees are one such thing. Yesod (Id: 'yesod') Any trace of them. 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') Yesod, did you receive the documents to expunge? Angela (Id: 'angela') You will get the list of employees soon as well. Please do not forget to review it after you have finished expunging the documents. Yesod (Id: 'yesod') Ms. Angela, what do you think it means to remember someone’s name? Angela (Id: 'angela') This is a work you regularly do. Why are you so emotional about it today? 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') Yesod, if you happen to be too tired, please take a break. 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 BGM SYSTEM: SHOW character: ??? (id: 'yesodVomit') at 'center' ??? (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 CG SYSTEM: 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.
