==Dialogue==
;(Approach Stefano)
:Someone's watching you...
:Their gaze is calm, focused, and devoid of ill intentions. Nevertheless, it makes you feel nervous and uneasy.
:You look back and stare straight into a pair of inscrutable eyes sitting upon a metallic face.
:Stefano: You're so... gorgeous.
: Ah... thank you?
: Is this considered harassment?
: I find myself gorgeous, too!
:The strange Intellitron does not seem to care about your response. You cannot tell if he is actually looking at you.
:What a strange feeling. His gaze is so deep that you feel it seep into your skin, past your flesh, your bones, and into your soul. Silently, it searches for your inherent "nature" in its most abstract and purest form.
:Stefano: There is an air of Destruction about you, yet you possess the will of the Preservation. Both Paths are able to maintain a delicate balance despite their convergence... I have seen a similar kind of beauty before, when I gazed upon the body of a pious .
:Stefano: In addition... in addition to that, you possess the rhythm of the Harmony, like a monochrome shade that has been stained with a dizzying array of enigmatic hues. Such immense beauty, indeed.
:Stefano: I really want you to be my model...
: How did you know...
::Stefano: As a photographer, my eyes serve as the lens of my camera, both literally and metaphorically.
: I'm fine with that.
::Stefano: Thank you for your generosity. I will always remember your promise to me.
: I refuse.
::Stefano: It's too early for you to reject me just yet...
:Stefano: I have a premonition that you will be stained with even more shades of color in the future. These hues will either grant you strength beyond compare or steer you toward destruction.
:Stefano: If such a day ultimately occurs, I hope that you will hurry back to me, so that I can record your incomparable "beauty" in that moment.

;(Subsequent interactions)
;(If Stefano's Emotion is set to Calm)
:Stefano: You're back.
: Are you up for a chat?
::The man does not reply and continues to observe you calmly. However, you know that he's not rejecting your request.
:: Who are you?
:::Stefano: A photographer.
:::Stefano: Some call me the Nihility's Photographer, but I do not see myself as having walked down the Path of Nihility... At least, not in the usual sense.
:::Stefano: I am but a faithful record keeper who captures the moments of "beauty" that are born from the destruction and obliteration of all things.
:: Are you famous?
:::Stefano: Perhaps. Although true beauty does not conform to the masses, there will always be people who are able to understand its meaning.
:::Stefano: Naturally, fame is meaningless to me, unless it can aid me in acquiring more source material to capture.
:: I'll let you get back to your work.
:::The Intellitron nods silently in response. Perhaps that was his way of bidding farewell.
: That's all. Bye-bye.
::Stefano: The strange Intellitron does not respond to your farewell, and merely gazes at you as you walk away.
----
;(If Stefano's Emotion is set to Angry)
:You cannot tell if the Intellitron is actually looking at you.
: That's all. Bye-bye.
::Stefano: The strange Intellitron does not respond to your farewell, and merely gazes at you as you walk away.
----
;(If Stefano's Emotion is set to Happy)
:Stefano: Care to chat with me?
: That's all. Bye-bye.
::Stefano: The strange Intellitron does not respond to your farewell, and merely gazes at you as you walk away.
----
;(If Stefano's Emotion is set to Sad)
:"If the Intellitron in front of me possessed a pair of living eyes..."
: That's all. Bye-bye.
::Stefano: The strange Intellitron does not respond to your farewell, and merely gazes at you as you walk away.

:::Stefano: Are you interested in my works?
:::Stefano: Soon, I shall hold a personal photo exhibition in the Blue Hour. Do visit it if you have the time.

:::Even though you can't place his expression, you instinctively feel a sense of apathy and criticism beneath his calm demeanor.
:::As though... you are but an imperfect work in his eyes.

::;(First time only)
::::Stefano: I once encountered someone who was a work of absolute "beauty."
::::Stefano: You heard me right. Precisely one person, who was the epitome of beauty.
::::Stefano: Even though she used to be a member of the Doctors of Chaos, she ultimately became a Self-Annihilator due to the corrosion of the Nihility.
::::Stefano: I met her near the end of her life. By then, she had long since lost her sanity and sank into a mix of delirium and hallucinations.
::::Stefano: I witnessed how she offered herself to the Nihility...
::::Stefano: She crafted herself into an exquisite puppet and hung in midair, alongside other puppets that had been crafted the exact same way.
::::Stefano: These puppets were her erstwhile companions and patients once. They all surrounded her, just as they did while she was still alive.
::::Stefano: I saw roses bloom from their heads, the petals vivid shades of crimson amid the glow of starlight...
::::Stefano: My lens — my eyes — recorded that moment. From then on, my logic modules have been beset with irreparable errors.
::::Stefano: They all said that I had been corrupted... Perhaps, but this wasn't a bad thing to happen in my eyes.
::::Stefano: After all, that incident had granted me "freedom." Since then, I have been searching for the "beauty" that I crave from the bottom of my heart.
::::Stefano: I once visited a gloomy graveyard. Every tombstone in that graveyard was linked to a hinged bell. I rang each bell one by one, wanting to know whether anyone had been prematurely buried.
::::Stefano: Another time, I explored a completely white swamp. There, any organism that came into contact with the swamp's white mud would gradually turn into a withered and stiff ashen clay sculpture due to the contamination.

:::Stefano: I've been to too many places... Amidst death and evil, I have discovered limitless opportunity and observed eternal beauty. This is why I record such moments down.
:::Stefano: With my eyes... With my lens...
::
:::Perhaps his eyes would be brilliantly blue, like the shade of a night sky right before dawn.
:::Or perhaps his clear irises would be full of radiance that reflect the vibrant colors of the Dreamscape.
:::However, beneath that bubbly shadow, there is only emptiness...
