Special Combat Dialogue [Expand All ]
???
Binah
Binah's Assistant 1
We should believe in that we can, at least.
I guess it’s because their definition of freedom is not the same as ours?
It’s not like I can’t see where they’re coming from… This feels weird.
Binah's Assistant 2
One or many… We’ll be able to manage.
I gotta say, I don’t get the point of their way for bringing freedom.
After all, fear is a natural response to something that’s not oneself.
Binah's Assistant 3
Seriously. Now they’ve ganged up…
Maybe? I guess it counts in a broad sense.
Understanding difference is the hard part.
Binah's Assistant 4
Just one of them was irksome enough…
Can their goal truly be called freedom?
They lived a life under repression, I heard…
Chesed
Chesed's Assistant 1
Well… That’s not our biggest concern right now.
It might be confusing… I can’t say for sure yet.
Are you alright, Chesed, sir?
Chesed's Assistant 2
Not everyone can accept a single idea.
We wish for strings of some kind to lead us, consciously or not.
…The atmosphere is way too intimidating.
Chesed's Assistant 3
It can’t be helped, can it? Their ideals only scare me.
…Well, doesn’t sound like it’ll feel all that good.
This is the final stretch… We just need to stay focused a bit longer.
Chesed's Assistant 4
I don’t think I can vibe with the kind of freedom they want…
Cutting off the strings… How would that feel?
…I think we can make it.
Gebura
Gebura's Assistant 1
That might not be “freedom” as we know it.
…Miss Gebura. Shall we get started?
Of course. It’s time to finish this…
Gebura's Assistant 2
What are they trying to gain by changing like that… Freedom?
We’ve got to tense up and prepare for fierce resistance.
…You all up for this?
Gebura's Assistant 3
They certainly don’t seem human…
Both sides are fighting to achieve their own goals.
Seems so. It’s almost over… Just a bit more, and we’re there…
Gebura's Assistant 4
They’re huge, and somewhat… gross, maybe?
I don’t think we can dispose of them easily…
Could they be… the last?
Hod
Hod's Assistant 1
Well… There are pressing matters to handle first, so let’s keep our focus on them.
They are not the ones that we received, either…
I’ve got no clue. I can’t even imagine what they’ll end up becoming after this.
Hod's Assistant 2
This feels strange. What’ll happen to Lady Angela…?
If only we could find a good way to deal with them.
If they take the Library’s Light in their hands… Could they become even stronger?
Hod's Assistant 3
Yeah, but then this stuff happened before I could think about that…
It’s concerning for sure… It might be inadvisable to just charge in.
I can barely recognize their original forms anymore.
Hod's Assistant 4
The Light has been shot up again, hasn’t it…?
They look stronger than before… Can we beat them this time?
…Is that the Blue Reverberation?
Hokma
Hokma's Assistant 1
I suppose it’s not easy to sympathize with someone else’s opinions…
All the more reason for us to stop them.
I’d hate to repeat it another time…
Hokma's Assistant 2
There wouldn’t be any joy to be found in a monotonous stream, though.
I’m somewhat curious… Not that I want to see it for myself.
That appears to be the case. We should give this a proper ending.
Hokma's Assistant 3
Will people really be happy if they simply follow the flow without resistance?
The things that felt unjust would be justified…
Yeah… This is truly it, huh.
Hokma's Assistant 4
A life of floating down wherever the current takes you…
If the world changed as they want… It would be nothing short of a disaster.
Hokma, sir. It looks like the closure is nigh.
Malkuth
Malkuth's Assistant 1
They probably are. Some things about them might have changed a lot, too.
We’ve managed to come this far, so what’s a little more challenge?
Miss Malkuth! I think we’re ready.
Malkuth's Assistant 2
I wonder if they’re… stronger than the last time.
We stopped them once, and we sure can do it again.
You can stand back for a moment if you’re not feeling well.
Malkuth's Assistant 3
Are those their distorted forms… That’s kinda bizarre…
Come on, keep your chin up.
I think I’m okay…
Malkuth's Assistant 4
What the… What is up with those monstrosities?
I can’t help but get tense in this situation…
That’s a spooky sight to behold… Is everyone good?
Netzach
Netzach's Assistant 1
I guess starting with the one we know first is a good way to go about it, yeah?
…Alright then, Netzach. Should we get to it right away?
I think there are better ways to make that come true, though.
Netzach's Assistant 2
There’s more of them, too…
It’ll be fine as long as we stay calm…
A life where I can be myself… I… am sorta curious to see that.
Netzach's Assistant 3
We should keep an eye out… and respond to their moves appropriately.
Facing unknown threats is always an unsettling experience…
I dunno. And I… don’t wanna think about it, really.
Netzach's Assistant 4
Netzach. This might be different from the last time…
That clown is extremely lively, and… noisy.
What kind of ideal world is this ensemble trying to reach…?
Tiphereth
Tiphereth's Assistant 1
That’s enough complaints. We have a job to do.
You ready, Miss Tiphereth?
If we agreed with them, fights like this wouldn’t have happened…
Tiphereth's Assistant 2
I hope this is actually the last battle against them…
We shouldn’t be too hasty, or we might mess it up.
That’s what we’re trying to stop here.
Tiphereth's Assistant 3
Duly noted… Our own carelessness should be the last thing to get us.
There’s a familiar face…
It’s gonna be a mess out there. The whole place might be razed to the ground.
Tiphereth's Assistant 4
Please be careful, everyone.
…They look grotesque indeed.
If they were to snatch the Light…
Yesod
Yesod's Assistant 1
We have to acquire information through trial and error, just like the old days.
There really is a fine line between this, and that power.
I don’t agree with their goal, but I can’t fully refute its validity either, ironically.
Yesod's Assistant 2
They’re still an enigma…
They can wield the power of the Distortion like that…
How are they going to give this “freedom”, exactly…?
Yesod's Assistant 3
And I thought I’d seen enough Distortions…
But they don’t really seem to have lost control, either.
We oughta watch out. If we get careless for just a second…
Yesod's Assistant 4
Huh, they turned into complete freaks, ey…?
They all have a few screws loose…
…Something about this atmosphere doesn’t sit right.
Phase 1
???
Once we reach the end of this… We could all become happier.
Humans cannot find redemption on their own, after all.
I wanna get out into the world full of diverse ingredients, toot sweet!!!
Arf, arf! Neiiigh!!
I only hope that no one will have to suffer as I did.
The ideals and enlightenments of individuals are obsolete.
I’m starving!!! Yeah! Can I have a taste of you all first?
Cluck cluck!!! Ruff!!! Neigh, bawk bawk bawk!!!
A place where no possessive desires or the grief of loss exist…
Follow this flow which will guide us to bliss…
It must be one full of clean and pure stuff… all top-shelf ingredients!
Bawkbawwk!!! Woof!! Arf, rarf rarf!!!!!!!
Indeed. We are mere components, content to exist…
Please, believe us. Only faith can lead you to salvation.
I can already smell something fishy… I’m loving it!
Neeeiiigh!!! Neigh!!! Arf!!! Bawk.
To become prosperous beings that own nothing yet have everything.
We will wash off the rust of worldly filth, and rotate together as brand new gearwheels.
Gee… The wait is so long, my mouth is gonna run dry!
Bwakbawk. Bawk. NEIIIIGH!!!
We will shape that world together. Please consider the positives.
Accept this boon. The harder you try to break free from the current, the closer you’ll get to misfortune…
Cuisine unlike anything you’ve ever had… Don’t you want to try it? Doesn’t the thought make you salivate? Hawhawhaw!
NEEEIIIGH!!!!! RUFF!!!!! NEIGH!!!
Phase 2
???
Ohohoh! Let’s host an even more dreadful performance!
Brutal and hideous… We all have that nature deep down.
This is such an invigorating sensation… I don’t feel stifled… It’s refreshing, rather.
A round of applause for the crew that will illuminate the stage~!
So why’re you ashamed to show ‘em?
When this performance is over, the strings that have bound mankind will be untied…
Now, now! There’s no time to waste! The flower doesn’t wait for the rain, you know?
You masqueraded yourselves to look nice on the outside. You’re no different from us on the inside!
Then, everyone can revel in true freedom!
Now each of us is giving off a… sour smell~ Good, good! The stench smarts my nose!
Yes. You’re merely being tugged along, your worth weighed on a scale. Don’t you find that much creepier and apprehensive?
Don’t you wish to cut down the strings tugging at you against your will?
Please don’t let the curtains be pulled down so carelessly, this stinky performance has to go on!!!
A shoddy facade is gonna ruin the moods of both parties, so instead of that…
It’s not too late. Perhaps you ought to change your mind.
A world filled with smiling spider buddies! I’ve been waiting for this day with a snapped neck~!
Better to be shameless about it. Be honest with yourselves.
I, and the Ensemble, can help you.
I know you hate complicating your thoughts. Get simple!
Phase 3
???
How pitiful… You fight for the rules that have confined you. Just look at yourselves!
Had you thought the same thing as us… We may have had been able to collaborate.
Can’t you feel this tremor…? Could there be an overture with a rhythm more beautiful than this?
The time when we can be our true selves…
Tis a shame. Alas, we do not intend to persuade you, so please understand.
We’ll complete our own score… One that can be played indefinitely, even if there seems to be an end!
Can you not understand? The joy of basking in this unbound freedom is palpable.
Purely out of our own delusion, we invited sins, and were punished with the concept of death…
So you will take the honor of remembering the first note of this everlasting performance…
Ah… Yes. This is what I’ve truly wished for…
Still we are trapped inside a frame, crushed under the fetters of our sins.
We will continue our venture, playing variations as we seek new things.
The freedom I’ve seen and heard were all temptations trying to lure me into tighter shackles!
Thus, there exists a limitation, an end in the form of death…
…Now, it’s time to mark your end and our beginning.
…Well, I should be thanking you really. And… sorry, I guess? Sorry that we’re moving ahead while leaving you behind.
I urge you to join us and escape the decadence of flesh. Find your true selves!
Your performance may be reaching an end, but I do hope you’ll shine gorgeously in your own right.
…We’re about to part now, Angelica. Sorry for what’s happened.
I hope you can stay with me until the end of the performance, at least.
