Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
Not this… Not that…
Servant Roland
Need a hand?
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
I can do this all by myself!
Servant Roland
Geez, just looking at the covers of these books makes me dizzy. Did you read ‘em all?
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
…Sort of.
Servant Roland
…“Quantum Physics”, “Cell Biology”… You wrote some difficult-looking labels on them.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
It’s hard to recognize the contents of the books here from their title alone.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
And it’s even harder to find books that are actually readable.
Servant Roland
Yeah, a lot of ‘em didn’t even have a lot of complete sentences, now that I think about it.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
The completeness of a book mostly depends on the reader. Though, some are just unstable to begin with.
Servant Roland
Does that “completeness” have something to do with some books disappearing upon reading, while others don’t?
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
I’m not too sure, but I think that has to do with how thoroughly the book was read.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
Once all the contents of a book have been read and understood, it vanishes since it served its purpose.
Servant Roland
Hey, I heard of something like that… Light can be considered as a particle or a wave depending on how it’s observed, right?
Servant Roland
Maybe the properties of books can change depending on the reader in the same sense?
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
I don’t know! Stop trying to make weird comparisons with your shoddy knowledge.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
It probably just inexplicably works like Singularities do. I just roll with it.
Servant Roland
You seem very proud of your ignorance.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
I don’t pretend to understand things I don’t get. I still make sure to read and manage all the books you send here, though.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
The same book can show different things each time you read it. Understanding a book completely is a repetitive process, you know?
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
And I don’t want to stay ignorant forever. That’s annoying.
Servant Roland
Different content every time you read it, huh… So that’s why we needed multiple copies of a book.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
…I still don’t fully get it, but I actually kinda like the properties of light you just told me.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
The fact that something can change just by looking at it is romantic in a way.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
And maybe… I held enough meaning for Enoch just by staying at his side?
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
There were two Tiphereth in the past. Back in my second life, as you and Malkuth put it.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
And we were together in our first lives, too.
Servant Roland
Oho~ That your boyfriend? Sounds like you were together for a pretty long time.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
…Enoch left my side in both of those lives.
Servant Roland
Damn, got dumped twice? What a shame. Keep your chin up, though. It’s not like a breakup is the end of the world.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
…Roland, he died.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
And Enoch wasn’t someone who could be put in such light terms.
Servant Roland
…Oh. Uh, I’m… I’m terribly sorry, miss…
Servant Roland
…I, um, apologize for my carelessness.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
It’s alright. When I bid farewell to Enoch for the second time…
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
I’m sure he could find the meaning he was looking for.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
That our lives and sacrifices were not in vain…
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
We lived in a world where everyone died so easily, but he believed that dying a meaningless death was not what people were born for.
Servant Roland
That’s kinda hard for me to follow. How about you then? Did you find the meaning?
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
Maybe? The purpose given to me now is to complete the Light so that it can be used properly.
Servant Roland
Everyone’s been talking about that “light” thing. What exactly is it about?
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
You’ve heard about Lobotomy Corporation’s Singularity, right?
Servant Roland
Well, yeah, kinda. Technology that physically manifests the mind, was it?
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
That’s right. Those manifestations can also be dissolved back into an indefinite form and seeped into people’s minds.
Servant Roland
Hmm, I guess that makes sense.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
Lobotomy Corp. gathered the light over a long time to cure the ill minds of the City’s denizens.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
Of course, all the while operating as an energy company on the outside.
Servant Roland
How’d you generate enough energy to stand as a Wing? Pulled it outta people?
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
Creatures called Abnormalities were created as a side effect of our Singularity.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
As we managed them, we learned that they emit a certain form of energy. That’s Enkephalin.
Servant Roland
What?! Those Enkephalin batteries were made from monster produce?
Servant Roland
Damn, and I used Enkephalin lighters to smoke, too.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
From people, to be precise. It’s humans that are turned into Abnormalities.
Servant Roland
Creatures born out of the human mind, huh.
Servant Roland
And I’m guessing tons of employees died during the process of managing those creatures?
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
You’re right. It was all part of the “stageplay” Angela mentioned.
Servant Roland
Quite typical of the City, eh. A company that massacred people with the end goal of curing them. It’s almost like a cliche for all the myths about the Wings at this point.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
I don’t know a lot about the other Wings, but… They probably aren’t too different, right?
Servant Roland
Oh, they’re totally the same.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
That’s the kind of cycle we wanted to break.
Servant Roland
And the Light being the means to achieve that, huh.
Servant Roland
Sounds more like you were trying to brainwash people with it or something?
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
It’s not as simple as that!
Servant Roland
It’s a matter of perspective, really.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
To be fair, I only know the general outline of things.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
So I wanna see for myself if those cycles are really happening out there.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
I don’t really know much about this world, like Angela.
Servant Roland
Leave it to me, Miss Tiph. I’ll bring just the right books for you.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
Hmph! Let your actions speak for you, then.
