[k] @Emiya We're investigating the house we found on this end,[sr]and it's really something. [k] ?1:How so? ?! [charaFace A 9] @Emiya As far as I can tell, the two houses seem to be identical. [k] @Emiya Given that, and what we saw with the cottage, it looks like A and B were made to be as similar as possible. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Murasaki Shikibu I wonder... [k] @Murasaki Shikibu Perhaps these two areas were modeled after the ancient Chinese philosophy of yin and yang. [k] [charaFace B 4] @Murasaki Shikibu It states that an excess of yin creates its opposite, and vice versa. [k] @Murasaki Shikibu So by bringing both together, whoever caused this Singularity may be strengthening their ritualistic aspects.

[k] @Yu Mei-ren He writes poetry, and he's great at math,[sr]and he's just a total gentleman all around! [k] @Yu Mei-ren Some of the poems he wrote over two thousand[sr]years ago are still around today, you know! [k] [charaFace D 1] @Tomoe Gozen Oh yes, like the one where he worries[sr]about what will become of you. [k] @Tomoe Gozen “Ah, Yu, my Yu... What will your fate be?”[sr]I believe it goes? [k] @Tomoe Gozen I'm familiar with it as well.[sr]It is indeed a lovely poem. [k] [charaFace C 1] @Yu Mei-ren Right? [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_77 1.0] @??? [charaTalk E] Hmm. I'm not so sure. [k] @???

[k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 8] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Sessyoin Lily That really shouldn't come as[sr]a surprise to you at this point. [k] [charaFace E 1] @Sessyoin Lily But never mind that now.[sr]So, what would you like to know? [k] ?1:Do you know where Mash is? ?! [charaFace E 10] @Sessyoin Lily Ahh, I see. [k] @Sessyoin Lily So you're worried about Mash, are you?[sr]Well, that's only to be expected. [k] @Sessyoin Lily I did do my best to stay unnoticed between the light and dark, and help her... [k] [charaFace E 4] @Sessyoin Lily ...but I'm afraid I was blindsided while I was transforming back into my grown-up self. [k] @Sessyoin Lily I do know Mash is still in this Singularity,[sr]and that she is very much alive. [k] [charaFace E 10] @Sessyoin Lily Good news?[sr]Oh good, it is.

[charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 4] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Sessyoin Lily Hmm. Hmm... [k] [charaFace E 0] @Sessyoin Lily It's difficult to explain, but... [k] @Sessyoin Lily I guess you could say that my usual imperative is to ease the burden of those in need of assistance. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 0] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Brynhild Th-that certainly sounds like a noble motive. [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 8] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Sessyoin Lily Why thank you. [k] @Sessyoin Lily ...[sr]...

Picked up on that, did you? I guess you've lived a long enough life to pick up a few things.

[k] @Sessyoin Lily For starters, showing people an illusion of their perfect world serves to eliminate their suffering. [k] [charaFace E 1] @Sessyoin Lily There's nothing wrong with that, right? [k] @Sessyoin Lily And for the pessimists convinced that life could never go their way, or that reality is simply cruel and heartless... [k] @Sessyoin Lily ...I showed them an illusion of a world that[sr]was awful for them, just like they wanted. [k] @Sessyoin Lily Essentially, I provided both good endings[sr]and bad endings in equal measure... [k] @Sessyoin Lily ...to the people who wished for them. [k] [charaFace E 8] @Sessyoin Lily The one thing they all had in common was needing assistance, since their lives weren't going as planned. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Sigurd ...I see. True, some people do desire nothing more than a life filled with challenge and adversity. However[line 2] [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 4] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Tomoe Gozen If these people are all seeing illusions[sr]that have no bearing in reality... [k] @Tomoe Gozen ...then will the disappearance of those illusions not cause them to suffer even more? [k] [charaFace D 6] @Tomoe Gozen I, for one, can hardly begin to describe the pain of learning one of my favorite games was getting a sequel... [k] [charaFace D 11] @Tomoe Gozen ...only to wake up and realize I[sr]merely dreamed the whole thing! [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 5] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Sigurd Indeed. It seems to me that your actions here will only ultimately serve to increase suffering, not reduce it. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 6] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Sessyoin Lily Hehehe. [k] @Sessyoin Lily It's only natural for hardship to follow joy, and joy to follow hardship. [k] @Sessyoin Lily Really, isn't that essentially what life is?[sr]Hehehe. Pain and pleasure are all the same. [k] @Sessyoin Lily I do enjoy seeing people be happy... [k] @Sessyoin Lily ...but I also find joy in seeing them suffer. [k] ?1:So that's your game here, huh? ?! [charaFace E 10] @Sessyoin Lily That's right. Anyway, I think that's enough chitchat. [k] @Sessyoin Lily These last few days have yielded some terrifying experiences, and my different selves have enjoyed them immensely.
