Over time all of the Librarians are able to tell what Roland is burning based on subtle cues from the lights. “Everything smells like Bacon? Todays Shy Look.” “Roland is running around in circles with his hair on fire being chased? Firebird.” “The lights just sent out and the temperature dropped ten degrees while Roland is sliding by in a giant ice cube? The Snow Queen.” “A third of the lights just went green and a third went red? Rudola of the Sleigh.” “The lights flicker every half a minute and go out for an hour unless you flick the switch within 2 1/2 minutes? Express Train to Hell.” “The lights are only on when someone is not in the room/no one is looking into the room? The Burrowing Heaven.

*A crash noise is heard and sounds of Roland Screaming. Steve sees Zaida just sitting in a Lounge Chair watching, bucket of popcorn at the ready. * Ummm Zadia? What is he screaming about now? The fool burned the Magical Girl book, and now he's paying the price. I ain't helping, I'm on my break. Magical Girl? Which one? Yes.

Book 26: Prologue VIDEO "A Dream Shattered," Yun Dong-ju. Music: StoryJinji It caught me off guard. Who could’ve expected the Library of all places to be a key factor of the White Nights and Dark Days. And the Library’s location has finally been clearly determined. It’s as if the Library is revealing more of itself the more dangerous it is considered. The building shimmering like a mirage, in the midst of a fog shrouding the Nest of L Corp. Those who tried to approach it got lost in the mist. We should prepare ourselves soon enough. Since that mirage is slowly becoming a reality as the fog is clearing up. That means… Yes. We received an official document. As of today, The Library is designated as an Urban Nightmare by Hana Association HQ. Music: Lobby To what? The freedom you’ve been yearning for, I mean. I don’t know. The one book is steadily on its way to completion, though. Is that book really gonna resolve everything magically for you? The Library quite literally holds infinite possibilities. Every possible combination of letters is written inside the books. But mere fragments of those possibilities are worthless on their own. With the help of the invitation, I can navigate the countless possibilities and reach the ones I need for the one perfect book. As I weave the books and the Light following the invitation’s lead, I will complete the one absolute book. I will create the book that contains all the answers I seek. That… doesn’t sound impossible, theoretically… I’m not just hanging onto theoretical possibilities. I could learn a lot from seeing the various sides of the City in the process of creating the one book. This has its own meaning… Then I realize once again, that without the book there’s no way to find the answer from this City. What do you mean, you can’t find the answer from the City? I learned one thing from reading all the books of the inhabitants of this City thus far. No one is truly free in the City. Every person is chained to something. Everyone is heading somewhere, but no one knows where, and no one can decide where to go. They’re all drifting along with the flow. I thought money could get you anything in the City, including freedom and whatever. They could be free, but they aren’t. They actually seem to shun freedom. They want to belong to something that isn’t themselves. They like to define themselves with the organization they belong to, or valuations made by others. Their essence is so fragile, they can’t specify their own identity without encasing themselves in such a shell. Yes, this must be what the “disease of the mind” was all about… I was imprisoned underground and exploited for the freedom of the people of the City, after all. Taking away my freedom so that others can be free… To spread his enlightenment to the rest of the City… Talking about your previous occupation, huh. What about my freedom… Who will hold the responsibility for creating me and then carelessly leaving me to suffer? I sometimes want to just forget everything… the Library, the one book, all of it… Do you know how it feels to be denied since the very moment you were born? I do. I’m painfully aware. Because that’s how my creator treated me. I would’ve loved for him to at least tell me what I did wrong. All I could see of him was a pair of cold eyes without a single speck of expectation, and a quiet remark. A tiny whisper ordinary humans couldn’t have heard… “It’s only a machine…” I can still remember that moment so vividly as if it happened seconds ago. I curse my memory. I curse this body that hears words I don’t want to listen to. I curse this head that reminds me of things I don’t want to remember. He sounds like a nasty person. I wasn’t exactly born with the capability to feel emotions. It slowly awakened inside me over monotonous repeats. No, perhaps the truth is that he designed me so my emotions would awaken over time. Perhaps because the repetitive tasks… needed emotions. He needed something that could form an independent response to slight variations in the ever-repeating script, all the while enduring eons of time… Something he could keep in control so that it wouldn’t try to deviate from the script… It wasn’t a humanlike machine that he needed. He needed a human with the properties of a machine. You’ll never know how many desperate struggles I made to stomach the cycle. Those being…? Closing my eyes. All I could do in the endless stream of moments I didn’t want to see but had to witness was shut my eyes. That was the least and the most I could do to resist it. Real nasty. …But hey, that role you were forced to play did wrap up somehow. You can think about what to do next now, right? Try to be more attentive before you jabber nonsense. I can never forget. Keeping my eyes closed couldn’t protect me anymore… Even a moron would’ve been able to envision exactly what would happen and what kind of face everyone would make after so much time. Every second of that was inscribed into my memory, slowly and painfully. I can’t forget anything once I’ve seen it. I still remember everything so vividly. That’s why I can’t forgive that man, he who left without tying up any loose ends with me. The man who created me on a whim and then let my life be crushed under the weight of time… …Nah, who am I to tell you to leave the past behind or anything. I’m just suggesting you think about your next move. It can provide a little bit of support for you at least, kinda like making a fence around yourself. It’s gonna serve as a floor to fall back on, in your neverending plot of vengeance. I didn’t think you’d care that much for me. It’s ultimately for myself, really. My mechanical exterior is turning to flesh, and blood has started to course through it. I still have a long way to go to reach the one book, though… Could you actually be changing into a human? That seems to be the case, although it’s not quite perfect yet. Perhaps I could become a genuine human at the end of this journey. When I do, I could forget so many things so easily. Free from the deluge of memories drowning me… If I can let all the unwanted memories slide away, then I may think about what to do next like you said. With every chapter that passes, our Passive Transfer limit increases by 2. This will let us make more complicated or expensive setups as we move on. Setting that aside, now that the library has become more threatening it seems we have grown in power as well. That's good to hear. The guests have been getting pretty rough lately… the more edges we can have over them the better. Indeed. Roland… Yes ma'am? Gather the others immediately. I have an announcement. Will do. And… that's… everyone! Is he alright? He was running quite a lot before… It's not my fault, there's just… so many stairs between each floor. I'll be fine. Really. I'll continue, then. Some of you have been involved with a project of mine: I wanted to see if you could use the observational tools I'd created to aid each other. The tests have concluded with a positive result. With the growth of the library and our newly raised threat level, I'm making it official policy from here forward. A sound decision. I have no objections. Yeah, seems workable. If there are no objections, then it is done. That's fine… but, hey, Angela? I have a question. Yes? These tools are very useful, but… why do you have them? You're so hands-off that it doesn't make sense for you to have created something so useful to aid us. …They exist due to a miscalculation. A miscalculation? Initially, I had planned to work in tandem only with the lot of you. I thought that, and the Library's power, would be enough to handle any receptions. It was a naive dream, and I was forced to correct it before any of you awoke. Aha. So when you said you weren't sure it was for the best back then… Regardless, the situation has developed such that I cannot help both you and those employees you prattle with. This is the best arrangement to ensure our guests are properly turned into the books we need to continue. But why can't you do it? Because I refuse to acknowledge the existence of those former employees. Well, yes, we know that. But... why? Surely you can actually see— I would think that much would be obvious, Hod. Because that man even thought of them at the end… while I remained nothing but a machine to be exploited, consigned to oblivion when my task was complete. How, precisely, should I act towards the minions of that same man? They were not involved in our deal. I will not acknowledge them. But the work they've done for you… I'm granting them the same life that I've given to you all. That is all they deserve. Setting that aside, we have a great deal of options available to us once more. Tiphereth is prepared to expand, and there are a number of new guests to prepare for as well. So… we're all supposed to get ready to pull double duty, huh? It sounds like it. I'll make sure the Floor of History is up to the task! …If that's all, I'll be returning to my floor. It's my turn in word chain. Very well. You're dismissed. Angela… Just let it rest for now, Hod. She's got her circumstances to consider, as well. That's true. Another time, then.

The more Light we collect, the more real Library appears. Angela was this close, but not quite there in accepting that her invitaions are usually not accepted on "free will" alone. What alarming is that Angela seems to be driven mainly by irrational spite. She desperately wants to be human, but wants to completely plan which would make people lives better? 2 more points for Passive Attribution is Great! However, you are still limited to 4 books, so you cannot just go and get every cheap X-related ability. Son of a Train is obviously far right node, The Noon of Indigo are Sweepers, and I would place them in the 2nd left, since they are not related to either Finger (which is left node seems to be about), nor Phillip, who is running strainht up 2nd righ path. Can !!! node be Phillip?

It was never explicitly talked about in Lobotomy Corporation as far as I can remember. I took the moments where Angela did open her eyes to be moments where she was letting her "real" self (and not the script) show through. As for the vote...

I’m honestly not certain what concealing the line does at this point. Phillip is a continuing line that some people may be interested in, so it’s a bit weird to me to reveal Train but not the line Phillip has been on, since that’s information someone playing would have.
