Off Dialogue Dump

---OFF DIALOGUE DUMP---

This page contains all of the dialogue in Off. I have had to censor some swear words, as Pastebin has heavy censors. This will only include overworld dialogue, not interface text or item names. I will be cutting out a few repetitive things that are almost identical to each other, such as the Post Office elevators. [Note: Near the end of Zone 1 I decided to stop putting stuff in brackets, so it'll just be the text from then on.]

Caution - It is possible that certain scenes in this game may prove shocking to an unwarned public. Or maybe not... (The soundtrack and sound effects of Off, created by Alias Conrad Coldwood, are an important part of the game; it would be a shame to play without them.) Your name is [entered name]. Correct? Alright. Welcome, [entered name]. You have been assigned to a being called "The Batter". The Batter is on a mission. Be sure that it's accomplished. We will let you both out in zone 0. Good luck. For more information, find the one called "The Judge". To move my body, use the arrow keys on your keyboard. To interact with the environment, use the space bar or the enter key.
...That didn't start well...
...The... The bird...He left, too...
Enter The Room ? [If No Aquarius Card]: It's impossible to enter. You need an adequate Zodiac card.
Enter zone 1 ? [If No Leo Card]: It's impossible to enter. You need an adequate Zodiac card.
Enter zone 1 ? [If No Leo Card]: It's impossible to enter. You need the adequate Zodiac card.
Enter zone 3 ? [If No Pisces Card]: It's impossible to enter. You need an adequate Zodiac card.
Enter zone 2 ? [If No Cancer Card]: It's impossible to enter. You need an adequate Zodiac card.
Enter zone 0 ?
There cannot be any living beings in zone 0; hence, I deduce that you are a pure figment of my imagination. Nevertheless, I will introduce myself. I am the Judge, and I am aching to know your name, dear illusory interlocutor. I'm the Batter. I've been entrusted with a sacred mission. It is a pleasure, although it was not the body I was addressing, but the soul that it harbours. What is your name, controller? [If Player Gender Is 1]: Her name is [entered name]. She can't talk to us. However, she can see and hear everything. [If Player Gender Is 2]: Their name is [entered name]. They can't talk to us. However, they can see and hear everything. [If Player Gender Is 3]: His name is [entered name]. He can't talk to us. However, he can see and hear everything. Even though you too are but an imaginary spectre in my eyes, let it be said that I am delighted to meet you as well, dear [entered name]. I believe we need your help. Many people are in need of my services, you know. Everybody loves cats. We rub ourselves against their legs and purr in a most insistent manner. They adore that. I'm not talking about that kind of help. I see - but what sort of service could I offer to an ectoplasmic entity? I have a sacred mission to fulfill. I must purify the world. There is no objective more laudable than yours. I accept to serve you as a guide through this area, if it is of any help to you. Thanks.
I can't see the inside very well.
A Luck ticket has been found.
It's impossible to get around this obstacle.
A piece of Silver flesh has been found.
Allow me to inform you that I find you quite tangible for a phantasmagorial being. Might you in fact be a person of flesh and blood? I think so. Then I was mistaken from the beginning, and you did not even interrupt me in my fanciful phantasms... This is relatively bizarre, I must say, for you are the first living being I was given to encounter in this place. I had, incidentally, concluded that zone 0 was an empty land. It is all too obvious that I was led astray. However, there exist other zones, and in those territories, hostile individuals might attack you most violently. Your sacred mission will likely lead you into these lands. Would you like me to acquaint you with the art of violent confrontation? Combat tutorial? [Yes/No] [Yes]: From now on you will be ready to dispose of all impure obstacles that dare appear in your luminous mission's way. Well, supposing your intelligence is on the same level with your undeniable capability of dealing bat blows to an innocent cat. Be it as it may, your training has not reached its end yet. Let me ask you to follow me, if you still want me as your guide. [No]: No tutorial, are you certain? [Yes/No] [Yes]: So you are pretending to know how to handle the bat with virtuosity without even needing my wise pieces of advice. I hope for you that this statement is more than just hot air meant to impress me, for this way, you would be taking a great risk. But I will assume that such is not the case, and that you are truly the fighter of importance you claim to be. Be it as it may, your training has not reached its end yet. Let me ask you to follow me, if you still want me as your guide.
Quite peculiar.
Ah, yes, to pass through, it will be necessary to use your cerebral organ correctly. You know, the one bathing flabbily in your cranium. I think that these floating blocks correspond, in some way or another, to the symbols you can see on the wall.
I think the weather's nice outside.
Is there a problem, o dear charming hero? I cannot do everything in your place, I am not your genitor, after all...Nonetheless, may I perhaps dare suggest you try to activate some of these floating blocks more than once, if so required? So hurry, solve me this intriguing obstacle, and post-haste, if you please. I wish to rejoin the ground floor as soon as possible.

Ahaha, finally, after all that effort, the long awaited reward makes its entrance to the scene!
He he he, why yes, I'm here as well. On the other hand, it's been a while since I've seen Pablo around here.
It's been some time now since I've seen Pablo... I hope he's doing well.
...I guess it's better like that. [If Have 5 Grand Items]: ...But... You have the five elements? If you'd like, I'll exchange them for an incredibly rare item! [Okay!/I'd like to buy something.] [Okay!]: He he he, excellent! The choice is yours: I have in my possession the Ashley Bat, the ultimate offensive item in the game, or, well... The Aries-card, which is, although I don't know what it's used for, completely unique as well! So, which do you choose? [Ashley Bat/Aries-card/Never mind]: So you want the Ashley Bat, for sure? [Yes/No] [Yes]: Ahaha, brilliant! Here's your new treasure, use it wisely. The Ashley Bat has been found. [Aries-card]: So, the Aries-card is your decision? [Yes/No] [Yes]: Ahaha, splendid! Here's your new treasure, use it wisely. The Aries-Card has been found. [I'd like to buy something.]: Alright, as you wish. [If Not 5 Grand Items]: ...
It's a pleasure doing business with you.
Go on, I invite you to attempt using the floating cube behind you.
Here we have an accessory that will prove especially useful to your purifying quest, dear enlightened student and sportive friend. It is a cube, floating in the air, as you have probably noticed. Nevertheless, you will be able to differentiate it from its ilk by the contrast of its clashing colours, assaulting your gaze with bad taste and defying any sensible course of plastic arts. Do not judge it too quickly, however, for despite its criticisable appearance, this red cube is of undeniable use. Aside from restoring the entirety of your health and competence points, it is capable of saving your progress and sending you to the nothingness. The nothingness is a place of transition outside of space itself, where you can travel from one point to another at the speed of light. I now invite you to try for yourself, in order to discover locations more populous than this deserted land. Open your wings, my dear companion, and fly towards the following zones without hesitation! Your only enemy is the fear that will grab you. Okay. Do not worry yourself; I too travel much between the different zones of the world. Perhaps, we will come to meet again. Ah, by the by, take this. This item of a curious name will be the key that shall permit you to enter zone 1. Have I clarified that you can, at any moment, consult your inventory and characteristics by pressing the Esc key? The Leo-card has been found.
Health points and competence points completely restored. [Save game/Return to the nothingness/Cancel] [Return to the nothingness]: Back to the nothingness?
...I'm ignoring...Why all is so distressing. I'm never hungry. :-) Think of something beautiful really hard, and maybe you will see it tomorrow. Who are you? Like for example a beautiful day. With a huge ducky. A very distressing one. What are you doing here? Let us not lose any time to useless introductions. Let's dance together, my dearest friend. :-)
I'm feeling way too cold...I didn't like that dance......my dearest friend. :-( ...I think the huge, frightening ducky has won this round. Say goodbye to Zacharie for me.
She's dead.
Tramway number 1 is a very useful means of transport to get to the different areas of zone 1.
Please select your destination...
If you are reading this, then that means you have the power of noclip. Help Dismal find his fruit cup. That is all.
Tramway number 2 hasn't been coming for a long time...
Um... You are here in the smoke mines of Damien, in the south of zone number 1. Here, we send labourers into deep tunnels to unearth metal from the ground, freeing trapped smoke from the depths. Using various tools, we put some of it into bottles, which the Queen sends to the other zones. The rest of it flows free and forms the air that our lungs inhale and exhale... Uh... So we can live. It's an essential element, the first among the four elements. Because without smoke, people would have nothing to breathe.
What are you doing here? Are you part of the mine inspection personnel?
Access to the smoke mines is prohibited to all unauthorised personnel.
Uh... there we are. And so... Well... uh... How do I put this? Where are the impures? Uh... yes, there we go. There are many spectres in the mines, and they are getting more and more aggressive. But uh, in fact, it would be good if you wouldn't go there. Because... The regulations forbid access to the smoke mines for visitors. So, uh, here's what we're going to do. There's an annex tunnel that nobody ever goes to. But a miner went in there some time ago... And he saw something strange, he said. Nothing like the usual. So, I thought, maybe that's the leader of the spectres. Uh... so, there we are. If you accept, you'll go into the annex mine and kill the leader of the spectres... Then, the spectres will disappear, and we can work properly again. There we go, there we, uh... do you have any questions? No. Ah. Great. Impeccable. The tunnel is right down there. Me, I will wait for you here.
Uh, well, do you understand? You go down into the annex tunnel and kill the leader of the spectres. This way, after you're done, we can work again. That would be great.
Ah, you've returned! So, have you killed the... uh... the leader of the spectres? No. It wasn't there. Oh... oh? Really? I... Bugger. Crap. I... Well, then uh... I believe that I'll have to let you enter into the main gorges, then. But uhm... the regulations are against it. Alright uh... I.... I suppose this is a very special case, as stated in paragraph five. So, uh... Good, well, the main mines are on the right. There.
Uh... Will you find the leader of the spectres? Well... It would be great if that was possible... Well... yes... It would be great.
Uhm... Uh... A visitor? ... I...  Uhm... Welcome to the smoke mines. Uh... may I know who you are? Are you an inspector? No. I'm the Batter. I've come to exterminate the impure spirits. The... Batter... The... impure spirits? Are you some sort of... prophet? Or perhaps a man of belief? Yeah. Something like that. I... Who sent you? Nobody. I'm being led by [entered name]. [If Gender Is 1]: Ah. I don't know her. She must be a member of the superior personnel... [If Gender Is 2]: Ah. I don't know them. They must be a member of the superior personnel... [If Gender Is 3]: Ah. I don't know him. He must be a member of the superior personnel... In any case that's good. That means our requests have been approved... Come, I'm going to explain your task...
There are phantoms down there... They keep us from working properly. But this is my break time, anyway.
A Joker has been found.
Soon, I might be promoted. I'd be able to do surveillance in Alma. I'm anxious for that to happen.
[If Gender Is 1]: Well well, who do we have here? Is that not [entered name] and her charming jumping jack, the Batter? [If Gender Is 2]: Well well, who do we have here? Is that not [entered name] and their charming jumping jack, the Batter? [If Gender Is 3]: Well well, who do we have here? Is that not [entered name] and his charming jumping jack, the Batter? Might you be the specters' leader? Aha, no no, certainly not. I am only passing through, not unlike the smoke which is being extracted from this pale and metallic place. However, I believe I know where the one you take for an ectoplasm can be found. To tell the truth, I am perplexed. I think it is one of those peculiar things called a spherical Add-On. I have very well tried to appropriate it, but the operation has systematically failed. But I am thinking... Maybe you, one who is not of physical matter, will perhaps succeed in binding this spiritual entity to yours.
[If Switch 314 Is On]: Well well, who do we have here? Is that not [entered name] and their picturesque jumping jack, the Batter? [Else]: Well well, who do we have here? Is that not [entered name] and his picturesque jumping jack, the Batter? Are you the specters' leader? Aha, no no, certainly not. I am only passing through, not unlike the smoke which is being extracted from this pale and metallic place. However, I believe I know where the one you are taking for an ectoplasm can be found. To tell the truth, I am perplexed. I think it is one of those peculiar objects called a spherical Add-On. I have very well tried to appropriate it, but the operation has systematically failed. But I am thinking... Maybe you, one who is not of physical matter, will perhaps succeed in binding this spiritual entity to yours.
I invite you to attempt retrieval of this "spherical Add-on", moving up and down just behind my hairy back.
There is nothing here; this is the sort of spot that I am particularly fond of. What you seek is certainly located elsewhere.
Add-On Alpha has joined you. What an exceptionally intriguing phenomenon... I must admit that I remain perplexed by this unexpected, metaphysical reaction. Fair enough. Since it has decided to accompany you, I know only to advise you to make the best possible use of it. Got it. The leader of the specters isn't here? Apologies, but I fear I have to respond in the negative. This Add-On aside, I have not crossed paths with a single moving soul in this place.
The lamps don't always work in the endmost corridors. And since everything looks the same around here, it's easy to get lost.
There are phantoms in all the tunnels. Be careful, sir. And besides... Who has let you enter here? Normally, the regulations prohibit external visitors...
You've come to eliminate the spectres? That's good news.
Show yourselves, corrupted children! I'm the voice of forgiveness that'll eliminate your ill-fated forms. ... Prepare yourselves to receive my judgement. ... This "Add-On" is fighting by my side......That's useful. Let's purify the other galleries.
Health points and competence points completely restored. (the yellow blocks don't allow you to return to the nothingness.)
This block prevents the access to the deeper bowels.
There's a door. But it seems to be locked from the inside.
There's a strange switch on this lamp... [Activate/Don't touch it] [Activate]: A door opened.
There door's already open.
I'm...  I'm working... I'm being productive...
Two pieces of Belial's meat have been found.
The regulations prohibit outside visitors in the main galleries! Get out!
Why have you opened the door? The spectres are going to attack us!! Leave! Leave us right now!
We're safe here... But we'll have to attempt to leave once we're out of meat.
Three pieces of Belial's meat have been found.
A Virgo-orb has been found.
A Scorpio-orb has been found.
A Capricorn-orb has been found.
A Libra-orb has been found.
A Gemini-orb has been found.
A Taurus-orb has been found.
They say that names of the metro stations coincide with the names of important people of the past.
I have trouble imagining that things weren't always the way they are now...
This block prevents access to the eastern bowels.
Uhm... You are here at the metal farmsteads of Pentel, in the east of zone 1. Our work consists of cutting livestock in two and extracting the metallic rocks contained within the cadavers. All the metal of poor quality is discarded, forming the ground we walk on. The rest is purified and processed to create objects. A part of it is also put into crates and sent to the other zones, so they have objects and soil as well, I suppose... It's an essential element, the first among the four elements. Because without metal, people would have nothing to walk on, and they would sink and drown.
Wh... What? Did you come from the smoke mines? Yes. But... But... It's full of spectres in there... Yes. Are you a spectre? No. Then who are you? Have you been sent by the Queen? Or by Dedan? No. But... But... But... You still know how to fight the spectres? You... You could destroy them? Yes. Oh. That... That would be great... There... There are... uh... spectres in the large cowsheds. Cowsheds? Ah... uh... yes...
There. And so, there are spectres in the large cowsheds... I must purify the mines first. Ah... Yes, but the cowsheds aren't that big... And uh... It would be good if you took care of them fast, because the Queen's inspector is going to arrive at any moment... So... Please, could you do the cowsheds first? ... Alright. Haha! Great! Thank you, thank you so much! The cowsheds are over there, to the right... They aren't big at all, you'll see; it's going to be done super quickly. The barns are to the right... Thank you very much for your help.
Impossible to get around this obstacle.
Once you've extracted everything from the carcass, you slice it up into pieces and eat the meat.
Extracting scraps of metal from cows isn't what I prefer. But if I do my job well, maybe I'll be transferred to Alma...
It's half of a cow.
I prefer working here over the smoke mines. At least you benefit from the outside air.
One shouldn't get attached to animals... Once you are, it gets difficult to put your hands inside.
I don't think I want to go that way.
I... I... I... I am really... Quiet, you pitiful b*stard. No... I... Yes... Has it been long since he went inside? I... I don't know... No, of course, you know nothing. I should have known. He... He will eliminate... The spectres... And how does he think himself capable of destroying those stupid phantoms? He thinks himself better than you, better than the Queen! No... No, I don't think that... Shut it. I didn't ask for your opinion. You all think you're more intelligent than the others. But you are all the same. In any case, this is hardly important. The phantoms will erase that conceited individual. I... Ah? You... You think he won't... Of course not. Nobody here is capable of fighting the phantoms, apart from the Queen's officers. If only you listened to me more often, you wouldn't keep making fools of yourselves. But... But then who... Who's going to destroy the phantoms? I could have done it. But you don't deserve it. Too bad for you, you'll just have to take care of your problems yourselves. I... I... No... P-... Please... I'm leaving now. I'm returning to Alma, at least the people there are polite. They don't constantly cut you off. Pl-... Please... Don't... Goodbye. Get out of my sight. Don't... No... I.... I beg of you, get the f*ck out of my way right this instant, if you want to keep your position.
Who was that person? You... You're alive? Yes. And... And the spectres? The cowshed has been purified. That... You... You must be very lucky. Who was that person? That... That was Dedan. He's the Queen's inspector. You mean specter. ...... No... The Queen wouldn't employ a spectre. He can't be one. But he's evil. I must destroy him. No... No... Don't do that. He's an envoy of the Queen. I... I ... Uh... You had better go complete your work in the smoke mines... ... P-Please...... In any case, he's in Alma. No one can go there without proper authorisation. So... Please... Return to the smoke mines... Alright.
G... Go back to the mines, please.
Health points and competence points completely restored.
These balls are heaps of processed metal, which are going to be sent to other zones. They're, uh... metallic.
It's important to pay close attention to the nutrition of the animals if you want high-quality metal.
You're going to the destroy the spectres? Hurry up, we're expecting the Queen's inspector at any moment...
[If Variable 18 Is Not 0 And Is 1]: There is one spectre left in the cowshed. [Else]: There are [Variable 18] spectres left in the cowshed.
[If Variable 18 Is 0]: The cowshed has been purified. [If Variable 18 Is Not 0 And Is 1]: There is one spectre left in the cowshed. [Else]: There are [Variable 18] spectres left in the cowshed.

The characters are starting to pile up, aren't they? Pardon? What I'm saying is that the average player doesn't need all these complicated and tedious dialogues. There should be more action and fewer questions. Who are you? I'm Zacharie, the traditional items merchant that's necessary to every video game. I'll often find myself in places you're going to visit before you. But enough talk. I'm not one of those protagonists you have to listen to for hours. So, why not let me see the color of your credits.
The Queen's general has an office here... But his real house is in Alma...

Faith guides my steps. F-... Faith? My mission is to purify the mines. But it'd seem that the phantoms are particularly numerous. The... The spectres... Where am I here? Uhm... uh...
But... But... You hunt the spectres? Really? Yes. I'm purifying this zone. The... The spectres, I know where they come from... They all come from the postal service. The postal service? That's where we take care of sending the packaged forms. The problem is that... uh... nobody can remember the floor where it's found.
My office is in the basement because there is no more space on the stories above......I suppose.

Hhh... You are here at the plastic administrations of Shachihata, in the north of zone 1. Our work consists of filling in forms. Afterwards, we package them and wrap them up with string to send them to the courier service. There, they ship the packages, and in exchange, we receive parcels full of plastic. There is a lot of liquid plastic that forms our lakes and oceans. And then there is solid plastic, used to make various objects. It's an essential element, the first among the four elements. Because without plastic, the world would be limitless, and people would keep walking and walking without ever stopping.

By Jove, you again? You are decidedly everywhere. One could even believe you were following me. Yet your footsteps have not deceived you, for you are here in a place that could certainly use sacred blows from your holy bat. Perhaps you are already aware of this, but it happens to be that the floor housing this administration's postal service is haunted by ectoplasms. It would be most judicious to find the storey where all these intangible monsters arise from posthaste, in order to slay them. But could it be that this task is too arduous for your narrow mind? In which case, I might perhaps be able to provide you with advice... [No thanks./Some help would be welcome.] [No thanks.]: I salute your tenacity, but I will bear your insufferable arrogance in mind. [Some help would be welcome.]: Open widely your ears and listen well, for I will not say this twice, not even amidst the most pathetic pleas. In one of the four rooms on the ground floor, the employees inside seem to be trained under particular directives. Additionally, if there was a choice to be made, I would choose the lower case over the upper case. That is all.
So, will the final verdict soon be reached? Numerous employees are certainly in need of your muscular wrist...

Pitiful bastards! Disappear this instant! This is my zone! You are not to be here! Out of my sight, you f*cking phantoms! ... hhh... hhh...... YOU! It's you, the source of all my troubles! The ectoplasmic lord who has set his f*cking sights on my beloved zone! What do you want? Why have you decided to be such a pain in my *ss? I have dedicated my whole life to this place. You have no right to corrupt it with your pathetic phantoms! BEGONE!! You're mistaken. I'm not a phantom. I'm a purifier. I've come to cleanse the world of these ectoplasmic beings. How dare you respond? And how dare you think I will just swallow these insults... Listen well, this is simple. Get out of here and take your godd*mn specters with you, or I am going to kill you. I hope for your sake that I have made myself clear. If I see you again... You're dead. The tramway will now stop in Alma.

Well, uh... there. ...... Who are you again? I've come to liberate the world of malignance. Oh... Oh really? Uh... well then... Can you liberate me? Maybe things will be better now...
Bonjour, [entered name]! In good form? ... Perhaps you have some credits to spare?
This block prevents access to the central part of the fountains.
Hhh... You are here at the meat fountains of Alma, in the center of zone 1. Here, meat flows freely; endlessly filling these immense metal pools in which we find ourselves. Our work consists of pouring this meat into bottles before the fountains overflow. The meat is then sent to everyone; to those living in zone 1 and the others. It's an essential element, the first among the four elements. Because without meat, people would have nothing to eat, and they would devour each other.

We're not productive enough anymore... If I'm not working... Then who will?
I wish you good day, dear omnipresent companion. Soon, you will have been able to admire all the scarlet and ultramarine landscapes of this zone. You seem distraught by the unique architecture of this place. If such is truly the case, you should learn how to concentrate. So as to be mistaken no more in your choice of opportunities, proposed to you at every corner of this maze. Next time, linger and ponder a little longer before traversing one of these trap doors, you young drunkard.
Are you certain that you want to pass through this gate?
... You!! By the Queen's thousand faces! Are you crazy, or just completely idiotic? What part of "I am going to kill you" wasn't clear to you? I'm here to eliminate you. You're insane. I am the guardian of zone 1, it is nothing without me! What mental illness enables this blind faith, hiding the obvious from your eyes? I'm the one who's going to purify the world. And you're the pest that eats away at this land. Prepare yourself. hhh ... hhh ... hhh ... Is... this... a joke?.. I ... I ... I lost ? lost ??? You are defeated, Dedan, guardian of the first zone. This land is now pure. Would you like to save?

Salutations, dear immaculate comrade. Is your journey unfolding under optimal conditions? These premises are less humid than the preceding ones; I must admit that I am very pleased about that. The feline race is not very fond of rain. I have heard from an old friend that the shopping mall in the north of the city has fallen prey to ectoplasmic assaults... Perhaps it would be wise for you to make your way there and illuminate the place with your purifying light.
There's an arrow painted on the wall.
There has to be a good reason.
We can't get to the park? Maybe it's better that way.
I have no fear. I know how to not have fear anymore. I am not afraid. Do you want to know how? If you're not scared to know, ask me.
The page has taught me. I am not afraid anymore now. Do you want to be free from fear? Give me 100 credits, and I'll give you the page. Here, I'll give you the page. You already have a page. You can only carry one at a time. You don't have enough credits. I'm keeping the page. I'm keeping it.
I no longer have the risk of getting a paper cut now. I will never again fear.
A Min-Woo Tunic has been found.
The mall is full of spectres. It's terribly frightening.
These barriers prevent people from falling into the plastic. They're even made of rubber, so you don't hurt yourself. It's good.
I am embarrassed, I admit, but it appears that I need you and your puppet's purifying intentions, dear [entered name]... Valerie, my beloved brother, appears to have fallen off the rails of level-headed conciousness and into the throes of uncontrollable madness. He pretends to be called Japhet; and, besides being the royal representative he has never been, proclaims himself leader of the spectres. Two roles he has usurped, no doubt. Nobody in this world, I can assure you, has any control over the ectoplasms... ... Except perhaps for the Queen, but I have yet to find any tangible evidence or truthful testimony for this hypothesis. Be that as it may, Valerie has taken his place on the roof of the library. And, although I suppose this could be but a coincidence, it seems that a crowd of phantoms is perambulating the corridors of the same building. I believe this is a perfect mission for you, full of that gratuitous violence in which you seem to be joyfully delighting. Alright. I'm going to the library. I will follow you.
The residential area is for residents only. Imagine the panic if intruders ever sneaked into our homes...
This barrier prevents me from passing. I don't share any resemblance with the locals.
You live in Bismark? It's strange that you're not wearing a tie.
Oh, you're wearing a tie, you must certainly be trustworthy...
It... seems that the residential area has been attacked by spectres... I... I won't dare go there ever again...
I'm doing nothing wrong... I like looking at the wall.
Yes, no, I... I'm only looking at the wall.
Leave me alone... I... It's only a wall.
I think the wall tells me things... Do you hear it?
I... I think it has ears. But nobody is talking here, so it can't hear anyone. That's sad. It protects the books, but it can't read them. Maybe we're all protecting something, without really knowing what... Or maybe we are ruining things.
Leave me to admire this wall... It must be suffering, all the time.
Yes. We should no longer lend any books to that man. He tears out the pages. It's almost dangerous. Yes. I'm going back upstairs.
Hello. Welcome to the library. Uh... I should point out that the upstairs floor is inaccessible because of the spectres. There are phantoms inside this building? Uhh... Y... Yes...... Why? I'm going to eliminate those impures. De... Destroy the spectres? But uhm... uh... You know, uh, you... You could get hurt... And uh... there is nothing up there. Only walls, shelves, stairs, and an old cat. A cat? I'm going up to purify that floor. Ah... Well, uh... Okay. Don't make too much noise, then. And the third floor is not really accessible; people have torn pages out of the books there. So, I don't want people to go up there anymore. It could be dangerous.
The third floor is inaccessible, I don't want people to ruin the books. There's already someone who rips out pages, so if disorder ensued there as well... Someone could blame me. And if you go on upstairs, don't make too much noise... If... If you please...
I put the books back in order. Ah... Ah, really? I... That's good. I... I'll let you go further up, then. That... That's great. The third floor's now accessible. But only for you.
The third floor's now accessible. But only for you. Don't make too much noise, if you please.
A... Are you alright? You didn't get hurt up there? I saw a cat, it's waiting in front of the southern entrance.
If you plan to go upstairs, don't make too much noise, please.
You... You're gonna go up to the roof? That's... dangerous, isn't it? Well, don't make too much noise, please.
This... This is a large building.
These are fake shelves.
It's not easy to find your way back outside... Everything... Everything looks the same.
These are fake shelves. There's a visible base under the real ones.
This book is called "How to become a super combat master of the universe in 5 lessons". I don't have time to read this, I must purify this zone.
There are lots of small booklets with notes here. "Start Player Info" is written on all their covers.
I... I prefer the fake books, you can't damage them.
This book is titled "Tales and Legends." Read?
The title of this book is unreadable. Read?

Don't turn the pages, it makes too much noise... O... Okay?
This book is titled "The Up-Children-Down". Read?
This book is titled "Bismark." Read?
This book is titled "The Cardinal Points." Read? No matter what way I hold the book, it stays upside-down...
There's no title on the cover. Read?
There is a book with a page missing. The book has a page in it. The book has a page in it. The book has a page in it. The book has a page in it. The book has a page in it. The book has a page in it. The book has a page in it. The book has a page in it. It is impossible that you should read this message. If so, that means there's a damn bug somewhere.
Everything's in order here.
There is a page of a book on the wall. You already have a page. You can only carry one at a time.
A Choleric Symbol has been found.
It's impossible to pass through.
It's impossible to pass through. Perhaps I should have a talk with the receptionist.
We're high up.
Add-On Omega has joined you.
This barrier prevents me from going upstairs. It's impossible to climb any higher at this point.
Who... Who are you? What... What is that? You're not the Judge. The... The Judge?... No. No, that is not my name. My name is Japhet. I am the creator of this city. I am also the one who leads the phantoms, the royal instruments of my vengeance. You're the leader of the specters? Precisely. They are my arms, sent to me by the Queen to restore justice to this zone. You must have been quite ardent to have set foot on the stairs of this library. I recognise in you a certain courage, an exceptional trait in this fear-riddled place. However, my vengeance will not leave anyone unpunished. Therefore, you shall be the first to succumb to the blasts of my ectoplasmic army! hhh... hhh... hhh... Pitiful fool! It is not yet time for me to reveal my true nature. But know that you will soon get what you deserve, you insufferable buffoon.
This block prevents me from getting up to the roof.
Nice view from up here, don't you think? It almost makes me forget that this is only a video game.
Valerie! Valerie? That is ...the name of the cat. You are mistaking me for someone else. I am Japhet, the firebird, guardian of zone 2! Oh, cease your paranoid frenzy, dear brother, and come back with me to zone 0. I have built a cellar where we will forget these sad moments... I am not your brother, I do not even belong to the race of carnivores! Look upon my true face, you poor, foul-smelling cat! Va... Valerie?? Will you not understand? I am not Valerie, but Japhet! I have taken control of your pathetic brother. Unable to even chew through a bird to the end. ... Whatever. Japhet, I am here to purify you, you who claim to control the specters. I was waiting, Batter. I will not surrender without a fight. ... Valerie... So you have beaten me... You can be proud, you have accomplished your mission, Batter... Valerie... You are defeated, Japhet, guardian of the second zone. This land is now pure. Add-On Omega has joined you. Would you like to save?

Is this advertisement not of such effectiveness, defying the basic laws of mainstream marketing? ... "For silkier fur: The pâté from the fountains of Alma" Would you look at that, you know how to read? In any case, I am glad to have found you; perhaps you can help me shed light on the mystery which fate has placed before me. It turns out that my brother has been living in this zone for numerous years, having a particular affinity for cooler colours of the spectrum. Unfortunately, I have not succeeded in crossing his path. I have well tried to betake myself to the roof of the central library, where he resides, but found the door closed, remaining as such even after long hours of intensive, repeated miaowing and compulsive scratching. Therefore, my request is as follows: If at the bend of a corridor you happen to pass Valerie, give him my greetings. Okay.
What exquisite composition... What subtlety of form... This is truly a masterpiece, a work that will be remembered.
"For silkier fur: The pâté from the fountains of Alma"
From here, you will wait no more than 74 minutes.
From here, you will wait no more than 39 minutes.
What a terribly frightening place... Fortunately, there are no phantoms around here.
I knew we should have closed this place! It's far too dangerous!! Far too much!

Perhaps the room that lies beyond this door will cease to exist the moment I cross the doorstep...... And I would fall endlessly into an abyss which in itself does not even really exist. What a terribly frightening thought. When in doubt, stay here.
Aaaah!! I can't get over this wall!! The spectres are going to eat me!
Choosing between three attractions is too difficult a dilemma for me.
I'm too scared, by golly, I'm much too scared!!
Due to their dangerous nature, we strongly advise against approaching the pools of plastic.
The Balloon Game Attention: Due to loud noises, this attraction is not recommended for the faint of heart...
Putting water inside of a room is really a completely crazy concept. One can really see that we're in a theme park.
You don't seem to be very good at this balloon game... You have to complete the sets of four, otherwise he will do it for you... Uh... I don't know if I'm being clear...
Aaaah!!! Aaaah!!! Spectres in the park! What a panic!
I'd rather look out there. This attraction looks too daredevilish for me.
It's that chair there that I want, I'm just waiting for him to be finished.
I feel like I'm going to vomit ... That wouldn't be very wise.

This is the way to the old Roller Coaster. It was made off-limits before it was completed.
To ride the Roller Coaster I have to climb up.
Who are you? I thought the Roller Coaster had been closed down... If you ride it, you are entitled to a photo.

And you're right next to him? On a roller coaster!? But that's terribly dangerous! Well... at any rate... You're a friend of the boss, so You may enter.

W... Welcome. Play, play, play the Balloon Game! If... If you win, you get the grand prize. But... But if you lose, you might be sad. So... uh... be careful. Play the Balloon Game? Okay, let's start. Ah... Ok... Maybe later then. Okay... Here are the rules. It's easy. When it's your turn, you can choose to pop one, two, or three balloons. When it's my turn, I'll do the same. The one who pops the last balloon loses the game. Do you understand? Okay, let's start. Ah... Ok... Maybe later then. Ah... Ok... Maybe later then.
I'll go first. It's your turn. Pop how many balloons? I... I... I've lost... No... That's impossible, after all, I have been cheating from the start... You cheated!! You want to hurt me!! ...The grand prize was a necktie? You lost... It's my turn. You lost...

Please ... Help me find the bunker ... You know, the one with 1805 as the access code...
The door opens with a code.
Someone closed the door from the inside!! It's dangerous out here! If I can't get in, the spectres will hurt me, AAAaaaah!! Aaaaah!!
They're going to find me! There's no place to hide... I don't want to be in pain...
Nooo! Bismark is far too peaceful for this! Save us! For pity's sake, save us!
Help!! Help, I'm in a jam!
There are still spectres everywhere! Quick, save our city!
Aaaaah! Aaaaaah! I'll soon have no more saliva to shout with!
Where are the culprits?? ...Who are the culprits??
You've saved our city. I've purified this place, but this zone has not yet been freed of its true pest. Where can I find Japhet? Japhet? Who's Japhet? The cat who directs the specters. Uh... the cat? No, I don't understand. A... Anyway, we're really grateful that you have helped us. But, uh... That thing you have there... My bat? Yes... your... bat... That's a mighty dangerous object... I'll have to ask you to leave the residential area. ... And to give us your tie. You... You understand, of course... It's just... Just a security measure... The tie has been lost.
This... This is too much anxiety for my brain... It's gonna exploooooooode! I ... I did not deserve this ...
My adrenaline level is rising, it's going to drown my nervous system and I'm going to die!
Aaaaah! Spectres! Spectres, spectres everywhere!
There is still time to repent of your omissions, miserable ingrates... Beg for my forgiveness at once, or you will return to limbo in an instant. Who is that talking? Pitiful cretins!! I am here, right before you, ready to send you to hell! Well? Are you prepared to offer apologies to your father and protector, you bunch of sops? There's nothing but an old cat, over there. That could be dangerous, a cat... It has sharp claws. Yes, and then it can spread diseases... Have you heard that story before, about the guy who got scratched by a cat? Aaarrggghh!! I loathe you, I hate all of you! But where's that voice coming from? Someone who seems to be in a bad mood... Yes, he should just enjoy this place, so quiet and calm. Here, we're safe. But it was me!! It was me who made all of this for you! Are you all so blinded by your pathetic fear of life? This is quite strange, isn't it? That is enough!! I am going to teach you to respect me...
Let's purge these impure beasts... And fast.
I can't see anything! Help me, it's so horrible!
No... No... Leave me alone... I'll tell you everything... I... I don't know... I'm not in charge of that particular bunker... Too much responsibility is too stressful... Yes... Yes, I'll give it to you right away, it's... 1402... Please leave me alone now... N... No... Uh... I don't know... W... What? What are you talking about?
No! No! I have done nothing, by pity! Please tell me you pity me...
It's an ad for the park: "Since the closure of the roller coaster, the park is much less dangerous! "

Top o' the morning, dear reckless accomplice! I have somewhat changed, anatomically speaking, but you have obviously recognized me at first glance, me, your friend the Judge! Zacharie? ... So my disguise is no match for your piercing and unforgiving eyes... Pablo isn't in great shape at the moment. I'm going to replace him for a while. Moreover, I'll immediately go on the search for obscure clues that I'll take pleasure in sparingly revealing to you in a deconstructed form. Ha ha ha, we're gonna have fun, you and I. ... Would you go take a look around the dormitories in the meantime? I've heard that the specters there were quite active.
The dormitories are on the upper left of the cafeteria. It's right next door. Why not go and check it out, you may find some interesting clues there. Clues about what? ... Come see me when you're done.

It's simple, you just have to take the underground monorail. Let's have a race, too. If you get there first, I'll give you an item for free. Hey, by the way, you've only visited the western dorms.

Mmmm... It smells awfully good in here. Without doubt, that is due to these piles of immaculate white and granular powder. It resembles sugar. I think it is sugar. Seems so. Ah ah ah. Well, this is quite surprising, I didn't think I'd find such an ingredient in this er... this place. Maybe we'll find answers for this in Area 3... Logic obliges us to start with the third before trying the final one; we are in a videogame, need I remind you. Let's do things in a constructive way. Well, go on, I'll meet you again over there, hurry. By the way, I suggest you be careful on your way back; people seem to be feeling under the weather... They even appear to be in a damn bad mood. Understood. See you later.
No ... No ... The ... The sugar... Do-... Don't touch the sugar... Ge... Get the... Get the hell out, spectres! Out!! Out!! You ... you want to eat our sugar too! No ... No, we must protect... The sugar ...
I... I don't have the right to eat too much sugar, it's evil, evil. No... No, the director said... The director said...
In the pipes it runs, it runs so fast... It would tell us the secret of sugar, but it's forbidden by the executive suite. It's fine, everything will go fine, you'll see...
The dessert is in danger! High alert, this is important, I don't want to come back anymore... Uh ... Huh ... It's ... It's only time...
The phantoms are nice, they wouldn't attack the sugar! You're lying, you're lying! Why did you lie?
There's too much white in my head... It overflowed, so much...
All the better all the better, that certainly buys us some time. I must purify this zone's guardian. Ahaha, of course, of course. That's a given. I have an Access Card for the monorail. Let's hurry to Area 4 to meet that mysterious director.

C'est la canalisation dans laquelle il met le sucre. Je vais d'abord aller voir en bas des escaliers avant de sauter là dedans.
It's a pile of dead people.
You... What... Where did you come from? I'm the Batter, and I jumped down the chimney. Ah. What is this place? ...
Who's responsible for this? Are you... you bringing me sugar? No. The director is responsible. He... He's in Area 4. Okay.
I have work to do.
This is an oven, lit by corpses.
C'est un four, alimenté en cadavres.
Uhm... You're here in the sugar ovens of Vesper, in the north of zone 3. Here, we burn the corpses of people who have died, and, thanks to an ingenious system of piping, transform the vapour into sugar. The pipes which traverse the factory walls direct it to the Treatment Rooms, where it is washed and purified from the remaining ashes. Then the sugar is distributed to all employees as a reward for the work they deliver every day. It's a secret element, the fifth element, and the most important. Because without sugar, people could no longer bear reality, and they would go mad.
Uhm... You're here in the sugar ovens of Vesper, in the north of zone 3. I know, that's already been explained to me. ... Ah.
This time, I'll be going on ahead; we'll meet up again later. Take care of yourself.
Ah ...Pant ... ah... Pant... Pathetic whippersnapper! Cold water eel! I had to drag my body filled to the brim with fat substances through the pipes of my own domain... It was difficult and humiliating, but... I'll devour your hopes for survival like a little sugar cube. ... with relish! (... pant...) Pitiful idiot, you've tired yourself, exhausting your strength without taking your poor endurance into account! My duty is now within my clairvoyant hand's reach... hhh ... hhh ... So, the hero has destroyed the beast... But do you know just what you have done? This zone, deprived of its guardian, is now destined to disappear... And the people who live here, whether they deserve it or not, to fall into nothingness without hope of return. You are defeated, Enoch, guardian of the third zone. This land is now pure. Add-On Epsilon has joined you. Would you like to save?
The path is blocked...
It's locked.
This desk goes through the wall. Push it?
There's a hole in the wall; the desk goes through it.
Ehehe, I may have some mischievous advice to relieve your mental suffering from a wrong dosage of difficulty. But this time, it's not for free anymore... I'm on the search for a particular object, which should be around here somewhere. Bring me this intriguing item, and I will open the doors of understanding for you. Ohoho! But what do we have here? Wouldn't that be a music box? I must admit that I am highly interested in this object, to acquire it is very near and dear to my heart. Would you agree to entrust it to me in exchange for a valuable clue? Ahaha! Beautiful, beautiful. What a smoothly conducted deal this was. Now open your ears widely and listen attentively to this welcome advice of mine. In the game's folder inside your file browser, there is a "Read me" file. Its name is not innocent; I actively advise you to read it assiduously. That's all.

Impossible to enter.
Add-On Epsilon has joined you.
This director is fast and very robust... We'll have to be inventive to get rid of him.
Yaaaahahaha!!! In the shadow of the valley of death, you shall fear the apostle of darkness! I'll kill you, Batter!
Pant... Pant... You won't get away this time, you pathetic little thug! Prepare yourself to join the phantoms! (... Gasp...)
He's very strong...
... Who... Who are you? I'm the Batter, and I've come to purify you, mister director. Purify? But that's ridiculous! Nothing justifies this drastic measure! It was the Queen who sent you, wasn't it? Obviously, it was the Queen. It must have been her. Be it as it may, I refuse! It's not a question of choice; you're the monstrous master of this horrible factory. I'm here to make you atone for your sins. Monstrous? Horrible factory? This is my fortress of happiness, my defence against the specters! The people here were happy, before the phantoms arrived. Incidentally, I still don't understand why the dead aren't disappearing. The dead? Well, yes. The phantoms. They are the souls of dead people... Has that thought never occured to you? It's only logical...... But... You have nothing to do with the phantoms? Of course not. I'm Enoch, the guardian of zone 3. My role, like that of all guardians, consists of modelling the energy sent by the Queen Mother to shape a solid context. I am the living engine of zone 3. The Queen relies on us to create living spaces for the people. We are a little like gods, drawing from the infinite power of the sun to sculpt our worlds into the nothingness. Ahaha, I love that metaphor. Yes, like gods... Precisely. You demented child of evil. The last grain of sand has fallen through the hourglass of your life. Certainly not! No matter your physical strength, you can't withstand my excess weight! Ahaha, fear me like the menacing shadow of your imminent extinction! Damn, this lardass is sturdier than expected. We'll have to find another way to purify him...
Stop fidgeting, we'll be there soon.
I'm keeping watch here; go see what's happening outside.
Attention. Attention. Obstacle detected. Vehicle is unable to move forward. ... It seems that there's a slight problem. Would you take a look outside while I keep watch?
I'm not going this way.
What are you doing in the middle of the tracks? ... hhh ... hhh ...

The endgame is near, my friend. I believe what's floating behind you is the final save point. Perhaps it would be wise to record your progress one last time... Before you enter that door...

I don't like this place very much. It's a good thing that Papa is here. Today we played together. He gave me a comic. He told me that I was ill, so I take pills.
I don't like the pills.
Papa said that we'll go play outside tomorrow.

Hey, be careful, it is dangerous around here. Do not go near that cliff, you could fall and hurt yourself. Take good care of yourself.
What is that under your arm? Is it a book? It looks really interesting, I say. Take good care of it.
What? A big mister, stuck in a hole? I have better things to do than listen to such silly nonsense.
What is that under your arm? Is it a book? What? A big mister, stuck in a hole? Calm down, I do not understand a bit of what you are telling me... If you hand me the book, I will agree to go help your friend... Super neat! Well, let us go see what we can do to help that big mister. Aw, that is too bad; never mind. Be very careful not to fall. And take good care of your book; it is a precious object.
Voilà, the big mister is free. We are waiting for you in the cottage, in the west of the canyon. Meet us down there, and be careful not to fall... A Saturday has been found.
Finally, somebody, you would think there's nobody left on Earth anymore... Finally... Either way, I'm glad to see you, my boy. I got bitten by a cow; the pain is difficult to bear. Also, it has been nine o'clock for a while now. I don't like that at all. What are you doing here, by the way? This isn't really a place for you. Ah! No, for God's sake, don't cry... Everything's okay, come on, calm down. Here, dry your tears with my coat. This is only the beginning, it can only get better from here. Come now, don't you want to be a nice boy and try and find something for me? I'd like to know what day it is, since it will have been today for a long time soon... Won't it?
I was bitten by a cow... It would be better for me to stay here and rest. Don't you want to be a dear and go look what date it is today somewhere?
Hey, that's a calender page, right? Give it here! ... Actually, it doesn't really matter. It isn't that day anymore anyway, I suppose. Your mother? Don't worry, she'll come back soon. She just went to see the new world. She is a very important person, you know. Once she is back, she will restart all of this, everything will work again. We will rebuild everything with the power of our bare hands. No exhaustion shall stop us! We will be the builders of the future. It's going to be good, you'll see! We'll ride a pedalo together. Have you ridden a pedalo before? Bah, it's great, you'll see. Here, take this in the meantime. I don't think I will need it anymore. Thank you for the calendar. A book with an unreadable title has been found. A Wednesday has been found.
Are you alright? You look better than before, that's good. Don't worry about me, I just need a little rest.
It's nine o'clock.
The future only waits if we trace it, and only our arms and our endeavors will make it a haven on earth.
I promised you cake, and I will keep my promises; you will be swimming in an ocean of candy soon!
No worry shall reign in my kingdom, for I will wipe the tears off the faces of my subjects.
Hehe, thank you, boy. I see we can count on you. Thank you for the book; in these times of misery, it is a very precious treasure. Hahaha. What a clever little rascal we have here! Maybe we could keep you company while you wait for your mother... We can talk about the weather, about the world, and about fate. Perhaps we will even dare already sketch out the maps for the countries that will be ours... What do you think, little one? A future where everyone of us will be the guardian of a universal happiness! Where every man will have work to do and actively participate in maintaining harmony. Where you may dream of a happier life at any moment, and where our sons can feel the same hope we do. Of course, you do not understand much of this grown-up talk... Perhaps you will have fast forgotten this handful of words, the first stars of light in the shade of the world. So, go on out. Have fun. Make the most of this new land which will soon be reborn from its still warm ashes. You don't have time to lose to the lyrical remarks of three crazy utopists. Ahahaha... A Secret day has been found.
Hehe, hey, little one, I'm stuck...... can you help me get out of here? ...... I suppose not. If you go look for someone to help me, I'll make you some cake! It will be delicious, you'll see. And we'll tell each other jokes. Go find help, I beg you.
Don't stay here looking at me like that... Go find help, please, I'll make you some cake!
Eh! You, down there, come closer!
Hello mama. Papa left. I don't like him anyways. I hope you'll be back soon. I made three friends today. The tall mister told me that he'd take me to ride a pedalo, and that we'd all work together to build the world. The little bird told me that he'd show me the sky and the clouds, and that I wouldn't have to be scared ever again. The big mister told me he'd make me some cake. Today was a good day. ... I would like you to come back soon.
Hello. How are you today? Tell me a random number... Bravo, that's totally right. No... That's not it...
Very well, let's try another one... Bravo, that's perfect. Here, take this, you've done well. The Sagittarius-card has been found. No... That's not it... I don't have any more riddles for you.

Today, papa gave me a comic. But I want to go out and play. I hate this place. I'm sure mom will pick me up.
Today, mom finally picked me up.
It's... an old comic... Read it?
... This is really stupid.
No, I'm not reading that.
Boxxer What a beautiful day. Boxxer Ballville is at peace today. Boxxer Let's hope that nothing bad happens to spoil the magical blue of this glorious sky. Ballman Ahaha, you're not taking my diabolical genius into account! Ballman ... And my new invention! The cloning machine! Ballman I filled Ballville with replicas of my evil self!

The first thing she said was You are finally here, Batter. Long has been the wait for your arrival. But your way was in vain; you will only cause embarrassment here. Go back home. Always keeping his icy confidence, the Batter replied That's what I did. This cradle is the home of my father. The guardians have fallen. You are Queen of a kingdom that no longer exists. Surprised, but not at all disconcerted, she asked him Why have you destroyed the land that I had rebuilt? The answer was simple You've never been here to do such a thing. Your role was to take care of him, and you have failed your task. And because of you, I must now complete my sacred mission. Forcing their monotonous dialogue despite the Batter's attacks, the Queen explained her actions as such I have created all of this only for him. I desire nothing more than the happiness of my children. Lost in preparing the birthday party, you forget who it was for. This final retort completely eroded the patience of the Queen You have spoilt the carnival, Batter. I will not let you lay a hand on the son who brought us into the world. Today, you will fall. That was very irresponsible on your part, Batter. I made a big cake for the party tonight... Would you like some coffee, my love? Queen of the flies, it is time to join your disciples. Nothing went right, we must forget it all and dream sweet dreams now. Look, he has your eyes... However, his show fear.
... I'm here.... I'm... scared of the dark... From now on, there will be no more darkness.
Stop right there, you impostor. To say that I had placed the blindest confidence, the solidest hope, the sincerest belief in you. We can well say that I was led terribly astray. But the one who has truly betrayed us lies beyond the eye of the cat. What have you done, [entered name]? Is the obscuring mist of the narrative really your excuse for killing woman and child? You have not purified this place; you have destroyed, eradicated it. You have plunged it into a sterile nothingess. It's better like that. I should not have lent you my hand; From the beginning of the piece, I should have detected the black flame that consumes your soul. [entered name], join me. Expiate the sins of which we are guilty by preventing this monster from completing his work. Don't do that, I need you in order to purify this world. The time has now come to render your final and futile verdict.
... Too bad for you, [entered name], you will die in control of your evil marionette. It is time for you to bid farewell to what little you have left of your existence. This is... It's over. Escaping from your purpose is impossible. Your demented crusade ends here. Die, Batter, with the eternal souvenir of not having conducted your sad scheme to its unjust end. It's too late. Everything is lost. I know, but I prefer this over your victory. Nothing remains now except for our regrets.
That choice was, even though pathetically useless, I think, the right one. And now, Batter, taste our vindictive thirst for pointless justice. Your demented crusade ends here. Die, Batter, with the eternal souvenir of not having conducted your sad scheme to its unjust end. It's too late. Everything is lost. I know, but I prefer this over your victory. Nothing remains now except for our regrets. This is... It's over. Escaping from your purpose is impossible.
