| "...That, Angela, is because this Library is the shell of your mind and consciousness..." | The Final Reception |
| "Or E.G.O, as you call it." | |
| "It's the consequence of making a decision that only a human can make... One that couldn't be further from what a resident of the City would choose." | |
| "You may have concluded your own little tales, but the Distortion still continues to grave its mark on the City. That new color has permeated the City much too profoundly." | |
| "No one could be held responsible for the Distortion at this point. It breaks my heart to think that it might shift the ecology of the City we had cultivated with care." | |
| "We're here to expel you and your Library from the City. And to receive a certain... degraded colleague of ours." | |
| "This structure in its entirety will be driven out and relocated to the Outskirts." | |
| "The Library has already become an Impurity of the City. We couldn't stand by any longer." | |
| "Not quite. The sole reason is you: Angela. An entity that isn't human entertained thoughts that only a human should have." | |
| "You poor machine... No matter how much you contemplate and enrich your mind, you cannot become human if you aren't born as one." | |
| "When I thought you might turn into a human at the end, you let go of all you had during that critical moment. Had you fully become human at the culmination of the ordeal, the City would have been more willing to accept you, alas." | |
| "A machine with a heart has no place in this City. You cannot break free from your origin which defines you." | |
| "How contemptible that your line of thought is so dangerously close to what a human must aspire to reach. You're further demonstrating why we cannot let you be." | |
| "By all manner of means, Distortions are one of the many aspects of humanity. Their existence is not wholly wrongful from our point of view. It was simply time for them to emerge." | |
| "Are they not more bearable than a meager machine putting up the charade of being human?" | |
| "The expulsion will still take place as planned, it's inevitable." | |
| "This matter goes beyond you and the Library; L Corp. itself was a stain and a blemish to the Head." | |
| "Angela... The machine with the mind of a human. The door mustn't be closed because of something like you." | |
| "You've guessed right." | |
| "...Executioner" | |
| Gebura Combat Entrance | |
| "Exhausted already? We have yet to expend any real effort." | The Final Reception |
| "Executioner." | |
| "...Halt." | |
| "You have shown up at last." | |
| "Know that joining forces will not change the inevitable outcome of this. Nevertheless, your efforts certainly are a joy to witness." | |
| "Truly and indeed... While I would not mind to spectate the situation from a distance..." | |
| "We must see to it that this place is dealt with thoroughly, so it would be wise for me to participate." | |
| "Isolated, without a way out... Your state is nothing sort of pitiful." | |
| "You still managed to hold out a greater deal of time than we anticipated. 'Tis a shame that it must end this way... Now..." | |
| Binah Combat Entrance | |
| "..." | The Final Reception |
| "Garion..." | |
| "Despite having received news of you... I didn't expect you to come out and greet us this late." | |
| "Not only did you fail to responsibly perform your duty... You have fallen asleep here and turned your back on us. How imprudent of you..." | |
| "However, I suppose we can call you to account later. We will tear down your grave and extract you before long." | |
| "..." | |
| "Executioner. Be prepared. It will take place any minute now." | |
| Combat End | |
| "..." | The Final Reception |
| "Garion, as much as it is a shame that we've failed to retrieve your once crumbled body... The end is nigh." | |
| "This place will be expelled as planned. Prepare to be sent to the Outskirts, a truly great distance from the City." | |
| "Beget not fear. You are simply being relocated to where you belong..." | |
| "I only ask that you do not return. The City cannot leave room for beings such as you." | |
| "For now, we shall kindly move you to the Outskirts. But should you return to the City, we would consider it such that you have chosen to disregard our kindness." | |
| "So mark my words well, and stay where you rightfully belong." |
