Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
…Purple Tear. I have done as you instructed me.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
All that’s left is to settle this my way.
Location: Library Entrance
Library Director Angela
Greetings, dear g—
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
The Purple Tear was right, you are nearly indistinguishable from a human now.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
At the same time, the power of the Library which protects you has gotten weaker.
Library Director Angela
…What is the meaning of this?
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
You should be more careful when your body is made of flesh rather than metal.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
But it seems you can’t die from having your head chopped off yet.
Library Director Angela
Sigh… I suppose I can’t. I was wondering what you were up to.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
There’s still an abundance of options that don’t involve killing.
Library Director Angela
Wh… a…
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
A workshop-crafted assassination device with T Corp’s Singularity applied to it, bought just for you.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
You may have power, but you’re certainly gullible.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
That’s what happens when you accept handshakes from those who oppose you without having a hint of doubt.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
First, it paralyzes the target, and when I p—
Servant Roland
And when you press that button, it activates for a single second. It’s a single-use device… with surefire effects.
Servant Roland
The device overloads the human brain, causing their mind to experience a thousand years of time passing by…
Servant Roland
Which is more than enough to ruin the average person’s brain. Just like the WARP trains, huh.
Servant Roland
You went to the lengths of the world to join the Hana Association, and now you resort to this extravagant little gadget of doom.
Servant Roland
Did you blow your entire fortune on this thing or what? And you spoke too much.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
It’s been a while, Roland… I was waiting for you to show up.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
So you’ve been guarding this monster mimicking a human all along?
Servant Roland
Whoa now, she’s no monster, y’know? She’s my responsible boss and a good friend.
Servant Roland
Angela. I’ll deal with this fella on my own, so please back off for a bit.
Library Director Angela
…Thanks. You don’t need my help?
Servant Roland
I have to take care of this matter on my own. This is between him and I, so you don’t have to worry.
Library Director Angela
Alright. …You can call me anytime if you need assistance.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
Roland… Is this what your big plan was all about? Is this really worth it?
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
What you’re doing isn’t any different from all the tragedies we’ve seen and gone through… You’ve been perpetuating it in the Library with that machine.
Servant Roland
…I won’t expect you to understand me.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
…Take these. The gloves of the Black Silence. And let’s say we’ve evened the score now.
Servant Roland
Thanks, as always. I missed the feeling of these.
Servant Roland
With this, I got all the help I could ask of you.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
I’m partly responsible for what happened to you, which led you here…
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
You have no idea the mess I had to clean up after you went missing.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
Neither of us had parents or any real family, so you probably thought no one would be concerned about you.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
And you were wrong. I was actually pretty worried for you, unlike some others in Charles’ Office.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
A bunch of thoughts came to my mind when you left after making a lengthy ramble.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
Not long after that… I heard news that a person who appeared to be the Black Silence was on a crazed rampage across the City.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
Said he was slaughtering Syndicates that were doing suspicious experiments left and right.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
His wave of destruction didn’t discriminate. Even Fingers and Fixer Offices were caught in its wake…
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
I almost had to question myself for a moment when I heard that you crushed a good half of the Middle in the south.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
It was as if you were venting out all of your frustrations and resentment on the City.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
And if that were the case… I thought you might keep going and demolish the City itself out of sheer anger and madness.
Servant Roland
C’mon, you’re blowing things out of proportion again.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
Anyone would’ve thought the same thing if they had looked into your eyes behind that dark mask at the time.
Servant Roland
Thanks for worrying, man.
Servant Roland
I was concerned you might have died an unfortunate death somewhere out there.
Servant Roland
This was a long time ago, but you wouldn’t’ve survived if I hadn’t gotten to where you were after you contacted me back then.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
I appreciate you coming over to help me along that short call that day… Sorry about… what happened next.
Servant Roland
Never mind it. I only rushed to save your ass ‘cause you said I might get a Nest Migration permit.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
I’m sorry for all the trouble.
Servant Roland
How’re the others doing, anyway? Like Ogier or Astolfo.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
Joining Wings, exploring the Ruins… They’ve found their ways to make a living for themselves.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
We just aren’t how we used to be. We’ve grown too distant.
Servant Roland
…Say, ‘member when the two of us handled an Urban Nightmare case for the first time? The uh… What was that case called…
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
The Secret of the Demi-glace Sauce, which occurred in the Backstreets of District 16.
Servant Roland
Yeah, that! We were just about done with it, and then your arm almost got caught in a blender at the last moment.
Servant Roland
Though thanks to me, you saved yourself the need to get a new arm. That was one thrilling job.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
Huff… Let’s set the record straight.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
None of that would have happened if you hadn’t tried to take a sip of the sauce out of the ladle “to see how great its taste must be to cause an incident”.
Servant Roland
C’mon man! Can’t you let me come out on top for once!
Servant Roland
…Those were the days, still. We didn’t have to worry about too many things, and just stuck to the matters at hand.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
Yeah… But you know we can’t go back to those times anymore, Roland.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
You swallowed your anger and sadness to work with that machine, so I don’t doubt that you’ve prepared yourself for a lot of things.
Servant Roland
I know. Both of us have gone too far down our roads. It was nice talking to you after a long while though, Olivier.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
I’m only doing my job as a Fixer of the Hana Association now.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
To retrieve the books of my colleagues, and dispatch threats.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
That’s that, and this is this. Isn’t that right?
Servant Roland
…Right you are. That’s that, and this is this.
Hana South Sec. 3 Fixer Olivier
…Let us begin.
