Streetlight Operator San
…I’m terribly sorry. It’s all my fault that the job went wrong.
Streetlight Operator San
We are taking our hands off of the Library from now on.
Streetlight Operator San
This was out of our scope to begin with. I already sent a report to the Zwei.
Streetlight Fixer Lulu
What? What about Mars? Was his death pointless then?!
Streetlight Operator San
I really am sorry… You can blame me all you want.
Streetlight Operator San
I misjudged. Our profession is peacekeeping, not exploration or combat.
Streetlight Fixer Lulu
There’s a cake in the fridge… Was that you, boss?
Streetlight Operator San
Cake? No, I didn’t buy any cake yet…
Streetlight Fixer Lulu
…I’ll go outside for a bit.

Streetlight Fixer Lulu
Wahhhhhhhh!!!!! You stupid idiot…
Streetlight Fixer Lulu
It’s not like you at all to buy cakes for others…
Streetlight Fixer Lulu
You said your mother’s an amazing Fixer…
Streetlight Fixer Lulu
You loved to show off your stupidly huge sword, saying it’s a gift from her…
Streetlight Fixer Lulu
You bragged so much that you’d be just like your mother someday…
Streetlight Fixer Lulu
(!!!)
Streetlight Fixer Lulu
Mars’ book… That’s what happens to the people who die in there…?
Streetlight Fixer Lulu
I won’t let them toy with him… I’ll never let them…
Streetlight Fixer Lulu
San’ll totally try to stop me if I bring this up…
Streetlight Fixer Lulu
I’ll go there on my own. I’ve got friends to help me, too…

Servant Roland
Boy, this is frankly heartbreaking. Shouldn’t have seen that.
Library Director Angela
That’s funny, coming from the one who gave a speech on how Fixers shouldn’t cling to bonds.
Servant Roland
That’s that, and this is this.
Servant Roland
Still, reacting to every bit of loss is a waste of energy. Everybody lives with burdens to bear.
Servant Roland
I have my share of unfortunate events, and so do others.
Servant Roland
And it’s rude to expose that without the listener’s agreement. They’ll be bothered to learn something they didn’t really have to know.
Servant Roland
They’re already carrying a hefty load of emotional baggage, and telling them your sob story will feel like you’re showing off how heavy your own baggage is. They might feel a bit of sympathy, but they’ll also be displeased.
Servant Roland
Don’t overexpress your feelings whether you’re happy or sad, and say goodbye to each other with the appropriate words. It’s all for the sake of each other.
Library Director Angela
That sounds even more tiring to me.
Servant Roland
And I shouldn’t let my feelings distract me from my librarian work, most of all.
Servant Roland
I gotta stay level-headed and help you collect books about the City.
Library Director Angela
You’re right. As soon as you become useless to me, I’ll dispose of you.
Servant Roland
Then I’ll go back to my duties of being a useful servant for the sake of my survival, ma’am.

Greetin—
Streetlight Fixer Lulu
Shut up. I don’t need a greeting from a despicable piece of junk.
Streetlight Fixer Lulu
I’m here for Mars’ book. I’ll get his book, kill all the monsters here, and blow your head clean off.
Library Director Angela
I’m afraid your third statement is going to be difficult for you to fulfill, dear guest.
Streetlight Fixer Lulu
I said shut up.
Library Director Angela
Sigh… May you find your book in this place.
