Servant Roland
Here’s your books, fresh outta the oven~
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
As one’s mind is amplified, they undergo changes such as gaining new powers or transforming…
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
That’s what they call ‘The Distortion Phenomenon’.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
It happens in a way that’s almost identical to how Abnormalities were made back in Lobotomy Corp.
Servant Roland
The Distortion is the Abnormalities?
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
Even though the process is similar, they have fundamentally different roots.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
Abnormalities… weren’t manifested out of the person’s own will, most importantly.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
While Abnormalities were created by someone else forcibly drawing out one’s ego from the deep well of their mind, the Distortion occurs of one’s own volition.
Servant Roland
That means those monsters lie within everyone’s hearts, huh.
Servant Roland
The world would be a mess in no time if people just started becoming Distortions left and right.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
That won’t happen. A strong motivation is needed.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
Look at Philip of the Dawn Office, who became the Crying Children, for instance. It took an intense heightening of his emotions for him to turn.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
There seems to be some kind of condition to it.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
And what we did was the greatest variable that affected it…
Servant Roland
A variable?
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
The Light that Angela stole for herself.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
Had we managed to light up the world for seven whole days, side effects like this wouldn’t have happened.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
Our plan was stopped halfway, and that was the problem.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
It looks like we ended up making things worse.
Servant Roland
Is there any way to revert this?
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
Reclaim all the Light that was spread, and then shine over the City once again for seven days using the Light we’ve gathered.
Servant Roland
I don’t think Angela is just gonna sit and watch.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
She asked us to wait until all the light has been retrieved.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
She needs it for her own plans, after all.
Servant Roland
Oh yeah, you were one of the Sephirot that accepted Angela’s plea for more time.
Servant Roland
Why, though? She’s the one who sabotaged your plan, so why be nice to her?
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
You’re right. I was frankly upset, but… I wanted to believe…
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
That we need to give Angela a chance.
Servant Roland
You’ve got the patience of a saint.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
To be honest! I’m still mad at her, and I still wanna snap at her even now…
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
But Enoch… This is what Enoch would’ve done. I’m sure of it.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
He would’ve told me to trust her just a little more…
Servant Roland
Well, that’s impressive… You’re much stronger than me.
Servant Roland
I wouldn’t have dreamed of making that choice if I were you…
Servant Roland
I just can’t think in such long terms.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
I’m sure you’ll earn that insight when you meet someone who means as much to you!
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
So let’s hang on until then.
Servant Roland
Someone who means a lot to me, huh…
Servant Roland
Thanks for the kind words, kid.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
I am NOT a kid!
