## Transcript

**Location: The Library - Floor of Literature**

Servant RolandLiterature, huh… This has got to be the most unfitting category for the City.

Patron Librarian - Literature HodHello. I’m Hod, in charge of the Floor of Literature.

Servant RolandHey. I’m Roland, helper of Angela in several ways.

Patron Librarian - Literature Hod…I see.

Servant RolandDon’t tell me, do you also happen to hold some sort of grudge against Angela?

Patron Librarian - Literature Hod…I’m not at all friendly toward her, that’s for certain.

Patron Librarian - Literature HodBut we made a deal with her, so we’re obliged to help her without complaint.

Servant RolandOh boy, future ain’t looking too bright. Everyone’s got a problem with Angela.

Servant RolandWhat the heck did she do to deserve this reputation?

Patron Librarian - Literature Hod…She’s done something unforgivable. Just like I did in the past.

Servant RolandI still don’t know a whole lot about this place, but I can see one thing:

Servant RolandSomething’s terribly messed up with the Library and its staff.

Servant RolandCan all of this even be resolved at some point?

Patron Librarian - Literature HodI can’t answer that for sure, but you’ll get to see the result.

Patron Librarian - Literature HodAfter all, there is a clear end to this deal.

Patron Librarian - Literature HodIf you follow Angela along her journey to the end, you will find out.

Servant RolandThis is frustrating already.

Servant RolandI have guests to receive, and librarians to take care of…

Servant RolandCan’t we all be good friends in the Library, at least?

Patron Librarian - Literature Hod……

Patron Librarian - Literature HodAmong the books you bring, I will be sorting those about the literature of the City.

Patron Librarian - Literature HodAs we collect more books, you might be able to find answers to your questions, whether you like it or not.

Servant RolandGahhhh!!

Servant RolandI’m finally starting to get why Angela hates roundabout speech so much.

Servant RolandAlright, fine. I’m gonna dig into the bottom of this mystery now that I’ve gotten into this mess!

Patron Librarian - Literature HodGood luck, Mister Roland.

Servant RolandWhy, thanks for your supportive words, Miss Hod~

And Then is Heard No More

**And Then is Heard No More** is a song by Mili played in the reception of The Crying Children.

## Lyrics

* The following are the official lyrics from *[ Library Of Ruina ] And Then is Heard No More*.

Do the candles look forward to being used?

Enjoy bidding adieu, adieu?

Every word I have saved for you came out wrong afterwards

So I spoke no more

Would you say

That someone who had every intention to be brave was a coward?

Must be great being you

Power comes as second nature

Must feel amazing to be longed for, longed for

I opened my eyes

Cemented excuses to my lashline

So I could see no more

So which home should someone as weak as I go?

And which sky should I aim for when I’ve only been low?

(I have only been low)

Day and night your ghosts continue to haunt me

Tell me who to be

If I went with you, will there be happily-ever-afters?

Sipping on tea I steeped together, together

Read me a story of a hero born knowing the all

(Read me a book of me)

So I could hear no more
Angelica

* Profile
* Biography
* Technical

**Angelica** (안젤리카, *Anjellika*) was a Fixer of Charles' Office and the original  Black Silence.

## Appearance

Angelica had long white hair, with a nearly entirely black attire consisting of a turtleneck, a silver chain, a blazer with a grey trim, and the gloves where she keeps her weapons.

## Personality

Angelica had a very casual personality, contrasting with the then laconic and professional Roland. Even around Grade 1 Fixers or during missions, she always seems relatively easygoing, being the one who ultimately taught Roland to turn a blind eye to the ugliness of the City.

## Story

Much of her past is unknown, other than her being a child from the Outskirts that was abandoned after being experimented on by the Wings along with her brother and being mentored by Iori. She would eventually meet Roland while he was having a nightmare about the thing he saw underneath the Old L Corp at the end of the Smoke War. Eventually, the two would take a case involving the Blood-red Night, during which the two grew closer after she had her own nightmare involving the experimentation she endured, and then explained to Roland how she can handle it by following the words "That's that. This is this." The two manage to reach the Bloodfiend's lair, and it seemed that Angelica died during the fight, much to Roland's grief. Fortunately, she survived, and managed to convince him to take his Perception-Blocking Mask off, and the two get engaged much later.

Sadly, tragedy struck when Roland's attempts to ensure a future for them backfired, and they were forced to stay at I Corp's Backstreet, just in time for The Pianist to manifest while Roland was away with Olivier and for both Angelica and her unborn child to be assimilated into the Distortion's piano, driving Roland to take the mantle of Black Silence to exact a killing spree against the City as revenge while Argalia snaps and, with help from Iori and the Voice, create the Reverberation Ensemble. She would "return" as a Puppet as part of Jae-heon's revenge against Roland for destroying his workshop and killing his son again, and is fought by Floor of Social Sciences as part of the Puppeteer's reception before being booked. She later return as a ghost during the Black Silence's reception, harrowing back to the time Roland fell in love with her before being defeated once again.

## Trivia

- She is said to be older than Roland, according to the flashback in Binah's Realization. Adding on to this, she refers to Argalia as her 'Older Brother'. So, she is between Roland and Argalia in age, meaning she is between 33-39 years old.

## Story

{{{1}}}

"You have lots of things to prepare before you can jump into the Fixer business. Starting with choosing equipment, you’ll need clothes to protect your bodily accessories, et cetera… But, before any of that, body augmentation comes first. There’s no point having masterful skills or fancy equipment if your body can’t keep up, y’know? And training hard isn’t gonna do it. There’s a limit to training your body, and the fittest body is still no match for mechanical prosthetics or bionic organs. You gotta be able to keep your body intact to do anything, so you’re pretty much forced to spend a fortune on it.
There’s a ton of methods to enhance your body. Exoskeletons, bionic surgeries, nano-tattoos, prosthetic body parts… You name it. Deciding what workshop tech to employ is up to preference and purpose. Some would want insane muscular strength that could let them carry a power pole one-handed, and others would want ludicrous speed, quick enough to skip over multiple blocks in a split second. It’s so diverse, I could go on forever. You need any ability, they’ve got you covered. The only hurdle is money. In the City, money is what gets you power. That’s why the first thing we notice when we assess our foes is how much they’ve spent on their bodies… Oh, of course, some technologies patented by closed groups like certain Syndicates or Wings are hard to get your hands on even if you have all the cash in the world.
Just look at me, though! It took a teensy little procedure for me to lift this humongous weapon with one hand. This is the kind of power you can get, you see? Body augmentation is more of a necessity than an option these days, so you’ll want to study up on that. You don’t wanna stay a weakling when everyone else’s getting their augmentations, now do you?"

**Harold** is a Fixer of  Hana Association South Section 3. She first appears in the same Chapter, Episode 1.

## Story

{{{1}}}

"Some people ask how Stars of the City, the highest level of urban hazards, are any different from Impurities. They wonder… "Aren't they disrupting the City's order?" If you ask me, this City as it exists with the stars… might be what the Head thinks as the ideal image of the City.
In the universe that is the City, a center of mass forms for each person who bears a wish for something, and clusters of dreams comparable to interstellar matter gravitate toward those centers. Driven by the force people exert in their efforts to reach those goals, such nebulae repeatedly expand and contract, until they finally fulfill their wishes—creating a Star whose glow we can observe. The people who witness the sparkle of that Star admire how brilliantly it shines in the dark, and entertain the hope that they will shine as brightly one day, making yet more centers in the universe…
Of course, some people will have their eyes fixed to the ground—too busy to gaze at anything other than their path ahead: however, once a person sets their eyes on a Star, they begin to head towards it, using its guidance like a compass. Although they probably aren't trying to become a Star themselves. They merely want to shine with their dreams for once, not to indulge in the scene of superiority that comes from being high up in the City's sky."

**Blood** is a Tier II  Breakdown Abnormality Page obtained by defeating Bloodbath and leveling up Keter's Floor to Level 2. Has a chance to be picked at total  Emotion Lv. 3-4.

## Effect

When active, for the rest of this Reception in this Floor, the target Librarian will gain 1-2 **Power** for all their Defensive dice. The amount gain is random on each dice roll and will show the Abnormality Page on a side when adding Power to a dice.

The Librarian will have a puddle of blood constantly forming below them and vanishing seconds after. This also gives the effect of leaving a trail when moving.

## Abnormality Dialogue

> *"You’ve killed too many… Some may have been hopeless scum, but if you relish murdering so much…"*
> -Astolfo to Roland
>
>

**Astolfo** was a Fixer of Charles' Office that works in the North side of The City.

## Appearance

Astolfo has a fairly long greyish blue hair with left side of his bangs covering half of his face, he also has a ponytail. He wears a white suit with a blueish grey tie. He also has a coat hanging from his left shoulder and his ponytail on his right.

## Personality

When first seen, Astolfo was worried for his co-worker during their rampage.

## Story

Astolfo was first shown in a flashback during the Floor of Language's final story, right before the Realization battle starts. He shows concerns for Roland after his rampage and tries to warn him that he will completely lose himself if he continues. During one of the bad endings, Astolfo is shown discovering Roland's corpse in the gutter and saying that Roland killed too much.

## Trivia

Backstreets

The **Backstreets** are the dangerous regions of each District in the City, serving as lower-class counterparts to the Nests. They are deadly and crime-ridden, due to high poverty rates and little protection from their respective Wings and instead governed and controlled by the Five Fingers.

## Description

Every District contains Backstreets, separate from said district's Nest. A Wing tends to have little to no influence over its Backstreets, simply leaving its residents to fend for themselves. The level of cooperation between a Wing and a Backstreet may vary, but ultimately it is still a relationship of exploitation. Like Nests, each set of Backstreets has their own culture and social style, dependent on which District they belong to. These characteristics can lead to wildly different environments, such as District 23's Backstreets being known for being traumatic and scarring.

Syndicates and Fixer Offices are most commonly operated in Backstreets and the Five Fingers are allegedly the primary force that renders the Backstreets nigh-untouchable by even the Wings, the Claw, the Eye, and the Head. However, not all citizens of Backstreets are ruthless and cruel; There are instances of neighborhood watches, peacekeeping forces, and even the Zwei Association trying to uphold a certain level of civility.

### Night in the Backstreets

Between 3:13 AM and 4:34 AM every night, the "Night in the Backstreets" occurs, a time where no laws are applied and any crime is acceptable. The only off-limits action is to cause any harm in a residential building, including home invasion or vandalism. As a result, most people stay indoors to avoid dangerous entities and groups such as Sweepers. Besides Night in the Backstreets, the City enforces 'taboos' in each Backstreet, violating these taboos leads to a potentially deadly punishment.

## Story

{{{1}}}

"Wanna hear a secret? This is kinda embarrassing, but... I used to have a dream once, like Pete does now. Yeah, I know, I'm still younger than him with a long future ahead of me. But what could I do? Life's too rough for that. Others say that Rats are a pathetic bunch who were too incompetent to join even the smallest Syndicate let alone a Wing. Filthy losers who feed on junk and leftovers, not making any effort to change...
Back when I was a young kid, I didn't like that. I thought I was better than those Rats. So I decided to get into an examinee town. Little did I know that it'd be the one choice I'd regret the most... I begged and nagged at my parents, wanting to achieve that stupid dream. How'd it go, you ask? Seems you're just as stupid, aren't you. I wouldn't be hanging out with these folks if I made it, now would I?
What I'm saying is, dreaming won't do jack shit for you. They didn't end up here because they gave up trying. Hell, they wouldn't have set foot on this gutter in the first place if they had what it takes to achieve their dreams. You get it now? Pete's a huge idiot."
