Location: The Library – Floor of Philosophy
Because I know that on the day of my final agony,
You will be there, lying in my sheets, O sorrow,
So that you might once again attempt to enter my heart.
Servant Roland
I’m scared. I’m afraid of what decision I might make in the end.
Servant Roland
I don’t know how great that guy you’ve been watching was, but I’m just a nobody.
Servant Roland
I’m nothing more than a speck of rust on the gears of this world.
Servant Roland
I was just one of the many foul people partaking in this vile world. That’s why I’m so afraid.
Patron Librarian - Philosophy Binah
The City as it is. Humans as they are. And us as we are.
Patron Librarian - Philosophy Binah
Observe simply what your eyes can see, without imputing any external values to it.
Servant Roland
I’ve turned away from lots of things, saying “That’s that, and this is this.”
Servant Roland
We ran from reality, and my wife and I got what’s coming to us.
Servant Roland
It’s ultimately no one’s fault that things went south.
Servant Roland
I guess I’m partly responsible for it, too.
Servant Roland
I’m paying my price for remaining a bystander in this City…
Patron Librarian - Philosophy Binah
Perhaps you are right.
Servant Roland
But, even if I didn’t look away, could I have stopped this massive cycle alone?
Patron Librarian - Philosophy Binah
Everything shall repeat.
Patron Librarian - Philosophy Binah
We managed to break the cycle one time, yet us librarians are now going through another repetition.
Patron Librarian - Philosophy Binah
What truly matters, however, is that the cycle did break at least once.
Servant Roland
Breaking it once…
Patron Librarian - Philosophy Binah
That is all I have to tell you.
Patron Librarian - Philosophy Binah
You may visit me for tea occasionally. Let us have trivial chitchats from time to time.
Trivia
- The lines recited by Roland at the start of the episode are the last stanza of the poem "Prière pour aimer la douleur" by Francis Jammes, using a translation by Chi-young Kim for The Investigation by J.M. Lee.
