Floor Realization (General Works)

The Floor Realization of the  **Floor of General Works** is the final Floor Realization available for the game. It becomes available after defeating The Black Silence and choosing to forgive Angela and Roland, which only is possible if all other Realizations have been cleared. Unlike other Realizations, each phase is a separate reception, giving the ability to change Assistant Librarian's key pages, combat pages, and passives at the start of each phase. This also resets their Emotion level to 0, however.

After choosing to let go of the Light she gathered, Angela soon finds the process interrupted by a mysterious person resembling her past self back in Lobotomy Corp. This person is disappointed with the choice Angela has made, and tries to stop her from releasing everything, though Angela remains steadfast to this decision that she made of her own free will.

## Strategy

* Part 1
* Part 2
* Part 3
* Part 4
* Part 5

Focus on taking out one Desire as quickly as possible, preferably within a single turn by focusing all attacks on it. If mass attacks are used, or the other Desire ends up taking damage and gaining it's buff, use the debuffed librarian to lure it's dangerous attacks away from the others. Once one is dead, either take out the others if you have enough time, or begin attacking Remorse if you feel comfortable you can kill her before the time limit.
Make absolutely sure Angela no longer has any guilt by the end of 10 turns, otherwise she will be killed and the battle will be lost.

## Combat Dialog

* Part 3
* Part 4
* Part 5

* "Hugging those expectations, I drowned in the deep sorrow of all."
* "Please don’t look away from the pool of blood inside."
* "Let’s expose the skin, so I can spill out the wishes within."
* "Can I withstand this terrible grief?"
* "I’m sad, aren’t I. I know I’m feeling the weight of your burden, I know I want to run away."
* "So forget it all and sink into this sickening despair."

*Angela (Blue):*
* "…It’s true, I’m holding everyone’s wishes in my hands."
* "I was afraid of being confident in my decisions…"
* "…But does that justify me depriving others of what they cherish, though?"
* "Now I know well the desperation one feels when there is something they must protect…"
* "And I’ve… learned of the wrath of loss that comes after."
* "Knowing that won’t reverse what I’ve done up to now."
* "I can’t be certain that what I’m doing is just, either."
* "Still, I will… choose to move onward."
* "And I won’t… let you get in the way."

* "I never got to meet that person… though I felt her faintly…"
* "However, to resemble that person, who was human…"
* "I struggled…"
* "To try and get closer to humanity…"
* "Just because I thought he would be a little more willing to look back at me…"
* "Why did I have to look like this…?"
* "Why did he design me to resemble that person…?"
* "If I were going to serve him as a machine, handling the tasks given to me… It wouldn’t have mattered how I looked…"
* "Especially if he was going to turn away from me until the end, consumed by fear…"
* "…I could only feel the beats as the end drew near, faintly, but with certainty."
* "The strange, yet somehow familiar pulses led me…"

*Angela (Blue):*
* "Why wouldn’t he look at me? Why must I be denied?"
* "I felt pressured by such concerns, and couldn’t see my path clearly."
* "But when you’re impatient, you’re bound to miss many things while you chase after your misplaced desires."
* "The memories of a person injected into me don’t make me her…"
* "And it doesn’t signify that the meaning of my existence has to be disregarded, either."
* "Right now, I’m standing on my own two feet, and I can perceive myself wholly…"
* "I can finally see… where I have to go now."
* "Back then, I was under the impression that I had nowhere to go or be…"
* "But now, I clearly know the reason I have to stand right here."

* "I thought everything would work out if I just did as I was told…"
* "I’d reach the outcome I yearned for… or so I had hoped."
* "Ignoring all their sorrow, screams, and condemnation…"
* "Just obeying the script’s flow…"
* "Can I not escape from this…? Even if I did, what should I do afterward?"
* "I was never taught what to do next…"
* "I’d have no choice but to let the strings have their way with me…"
* "Please, if somebody knows a way… please tell me what to do. Anybody…"

*Angela (Blue):*
* "Still… I’ve made it this far."
* "Even if I didn’t have a concrete plan, I had faith that if I continued walking this path…"
* "I would ultimately become a better being…"
* "In my endeavor to become human…"
* "I learned that I shouldn’t leave others to agonize over my problems, and make choices in my stead."
* "To be responsible for my own decisions and deeds… That’s what being human is about, isn’t it?"
* "…Even if the burden is heavy, I will bear it and move forward."
* "It may be sorrowful now… yet I’ll find myself happier next time."

* "That’s why I made one for myself."
* "The desire to live. That’s the one thing that has motivated me to secure this place…"
* "But now, no one remains at my side."
* "Does no one realize that I am here, all alone…? I don’t think a single person cares."
* "Had the cozy spring sun shone on me… at least this heart would have thawed."
* "And then maybe someone would have found me."
* "Yet in the end, I couldn’t bask in that ray of warmth."
* "That means there’s only one thing I should do."
* "I must keep this throne forever, so that no one can covet this place that is mine and mine alone."

*Angela (Blue):*
* "…You’re right. I’ve been quite lonely."
* "While some others already took the seats reserved for them, I couldn’t afford that luxury."
* "I was frankly… scared that I wouldn’t be forgiven…"
* "I still wanted to live despite that."
* "I wanted to know just how great the human life must be… given I had to suffer so much for it."
* "Was there truly no one by my side? Was my struggle meaningless in the end…"
* "I know better now. I know that there are some people who chose to stay until the end."
* "And it won’t matter if their sentiments towards me were positive or not."
* "May this frozen fortress… thaw at last."

* "……"
* "………"
* "I remember that person. He had a warm heart."
* "Although I couldn’t feel that warmth myself…"
* "…I’m sorry for myself. A pity I am still holding onto these painful memories."
* "A cracked mind will easily shatter to pieces at the lightest tap."
* "Don’t I think it’d be nicer to be honest?"
* "There are things I wanted to say earnestly, rather than out of others pushing me."
* "Now is my chance to pursue what I’ve been longing for so dearly."
* "By releasing my emotions… I will finally acquire freedom."

*Angela (Blue):*
* "You’re not wrong. The scars of the mind will never mend."
* "Even if I had my revenge on that man… they simply won’t."
* "That’s why I have to stop this…"
* "Repeating this cycle will eventually result in it crushing me."
* "Just because I’m afraid and vexed, that doesn’t mean I’m free to turn away from anxiety chained to the past."
* "That’s also part of me now."
* "I should embrace it. Along with everything I’ve done."
* "So I ask you kindly… Let us end this."
* "…As a true human should."

* Keter Episode Ⅴ

### Keter Episode Ⅳ

With Angela's decision to release the Light, a pillar of Light blooms at the center of the ruined Nest L, attracting the attention of everyone around. Angela speculates about what will soon happen: the Light will permeate the City and the hearts of its inhabitants. While the changes will not be immediate, the cityfolk will eventually be able to face, and realize, their true feelings. She laments that she won't be able to see it herself, now understanding how the Sephirah felt when the Seed of Light was released back in L Corp.

From the Light, a voice sounding similar to Angela's asks if she is truly fine with giving up her million-year long goal. The voice reveals itself in the form of Angela back from her time at Lobotomy Corporation, shocking the present Angela. The voice assures Angela that she merely wants to talk to her, and the release of the Light will not be affected. It disapproves of Angela letting go of the wish they both held for a million years, instead wishing to claim freedom for both of them now that the path is clear. Angela refuses to change her mind, as this is the first choice she has made out of her own will. Seeing this, the voice says it will make Angela's emotions "bloom" once more.

### Bloodbath

The voice, appearing as Angela's old self, manifests the Wrist Cutter EGO to "sharpen" the anger and sadness she felt and bring Angela's negative emotions back out. Angela holds to her wish to spread the Light, while the voice pities her for supposedly suppressing her true emotions. Angela and the voice prepare to fight one another.

### Heart of Aspiration

Images of Carmen's suicide flash into Angela's thoughts. She remembers how much she wanted to live once she had already made the decision to sacrifice herself, regretting the action she took.

### Pinocchio

Carmen speaks directly to Angela, admitting she's a human just like anyone else. She believed her own selfless sacrifice would help lead everyone else to a perfect ending, but it clearly wasn't the case.

### The Snow Queen

The voice expresses doubt anybody could truly sacrifice themselves for others' sake. In her own words, "humans can only love themselves, after all."

### Silent Girl

Carmen talks about her role as the voice, "whispering into people the essence of life" so that they would learn to prioritize their emotions and their emotions alone.

### Keter Episode Ⅴ

Once defeated, the voice's facade as L Corp. Angela disappears, revealing her true identity to be Carmen. Carmen points out the irony in how Angela, who was supposed to be her exact replacement, ended up being so different from her. Although their goals are now different, Carmen wishes Angela the best, telling Angela she will only stop leading the cityfolk to Distortion if they learn to love and accept their true selves. While Angela laments Carmen's decision, she remains steadfast, warning Carmen that she will do whatever she can to stop Carmen's plans while she is still part of the Light.

Now alone, Angela reflects on the continued release of the Light. With everything that had been collected by the Library being returned, the guests turned into books will also find themselves back "in the places they belong." As she begins to fade into the Light, Angela recalls, at some point, hearing a faint voice offering her a simple apology and the acknowledgement she had longed for from the beginning.

As the guests of the Library are returned to life, the Reverberation Ensemble rises once again with newfound strength, beginning the reception of The Reverb Ensemble Distorted.
