Librarian Frei/Dialogue

* "It's no use. No matter what you do, he'll end up dying here in one way or another."
* "Stop making that face, it doesn't suit you. I'm a librarian. But you see, nobody comes to read anymore. Anyhow, there's no use crying over dead meat."
* "There, there. Not all is lost.. aside from this person's head, I guess. Wait, wait, don't hit me for that!"
* "Switch the channel. That's all."
* "You'll see for yourself. Perhaps you'll get lucky enough to change history."
* "I'm not telling you to do something unthinkable, am I? Besides, I am quite knowledgeable about how this place works. Ah, sorry, I am enjoying myself too much. It's the first time I've talked to an actual person in years. The door's open. Aren't you in a hurry?"
* "Bye-bye. Be careful if you meet the Executioners on your way. They won't be nice like *me*."

### Library (second iteration)

*First conversation.*

* "...?"
* "May I ask... Do I know you?"
* "I believe it's the first time we met."
* "That's no surprise. We must all look the same to you."
* "No need to apologize. Is there a book you need to find? Perhaps I can be of assistance to my fellow bibliophiles. I do my best to keep everything in order in here, you know?"
* "All exits here are safe. It's a library, after all."

*Second conversation.*

* "Is there anything else you'd like to ask?"
* "Ah, about that...well, you see, this library is the last one in the world. The moment my people enter this place, they'll burn it to ashes."
* "Don't you know? Keeping books is a grave sin. Everything has to be rewritten. Some books here, however, store the information that wasn't changed for one month! Isn't that amazing?"
* "They already did. I made sure no one came back. Ha-ha! That was a joke. I'm in the middle of setting up a better security system. The concept is that it might lure you in like an RPG game, but then you'll find yourself unable to get out."
* "You might think I'm being paranoid, but everyone's like that these days."

*Final conversation.*

* "Anything else?"
* "Name?.. I'm afraid I don't have one."
* "Hmm...male species of our kind are called "Frei", so you can call me that."
* "Charlotte...that's a beautiful name. I'll remember it." (Original)
* "Charlotte... (..."the free one", huh.) ...that's a beautiful name. I'll remember it." \*\*

*\*\* = This line was refined in an update to Hello Charlotte Episode 1 that coincided with Episode 3's release, likely as subtle foreshadowing.*

## Hello Charlotte Episode 2

### Memory 2: Individuality

*Frei is speaking to one of his security drones.*

* "Oh, you're flattering me."
* "No, no, it's my pleasure."
* "What? You want to hear about Pythias again?"
* "Such a curious drone you are."
* "Well, well. The Pythias, the ancient race. The females of our kind go by the name "Freya", males are called "Frei".
* "Were we always just meat dolls, mere containers for the Oracle?"
* "No, we weren't. Never were."
* "When the Oracle appeared, the world divided into two factions."
* "The globalists, who wanted their minds to become one with everyone, and individualists, who were against that."
* "We, the individualists, started the Godhunt to get rid of the Oracle and globalists alike."
* "Why, you would ask?"
* "To prevent the Death of Ego."
* "Death of individuality would've meant death of all creativity and culture, and we wanted to prevent that by all means."
* "But globalists were stronger."
* "They outnumbered us and gave their Egos for the Oracle to take on a silver platter. They've accepted the Oracle."
* "That's when individualists started to commit mass suicides, refusing to give in."
* "Our downfall began quickly. So we ran like cowards."
* "Isolated ourselves from the world just to stay ourselves to the very end."
* "No wonder many went crazy."
* "We became paranoid of every sound in the space we inhabited."
* "So we've built traps. Mazes. Puzzles. Everything to hold back the intruders."
* "I can't beg you not to hold grudges against any of us. We're a sick, sick nation."
* "And I feel like the end is coming soon, my loyal friend."
* "Or perhaps it's already come, and all that was left were recordings of our former glory. Simulations of existence."
* "Who knows? Perhaps that little miss intruder will bring about our end."
* "It's always something small that causes big things to happen."
* "Remember, little drone."
* "For living beings, the Oracle is no god. It's nothing more than a parasite of our minds."
* "While it seemingly granted our wish to connect, it was what destroyed us."
* "The irony is that is probably isn't even aware of what it's doing."
