Book 4 Chapter 5

Verse 1[]

Bearing weapons, girls clashed at various locations.
Some fought for their own desires.
Some fought for their own justice.
Then, two strange puppets appeared before them.
Cackling, they began to speak.

You will battle to the death.
To steal what the other has.
To fulfill your desires.
Tremble with the pleasure of destruction.

Their snickers then faded, and in a low voice they said...

May the bloodshed continue until only one remains.

In the back of my mind I felt safe...

Lulled into a false sense of security...

But that's all over now.

Sadly, it's the beginning of the end.

A great culling of the world.

Verse 2[]

You already know this world won't protect you.
It's neither your Papa nor your Mama.

Verse 3[]

How do you feel? Happy? Hurt? Sad? Angry?
Meaningless and worthless feelings.

Verse 4[]

Only the strong survive here. It's also where the weak perish.
Are you sure you want to know which side you're on?

Verse 5[]

If I'm being honest, I was worried that I'd never grow up.
But in reality, I had already lost my child-like spirit.

Verse 6[]

Many people have lost their lives. But that relieves you, doesn't it?
If anything, you're ecstatic to know that. Because you were lucky enough to outlive them.

Verse 7[]

How long are you going to sleep?

Verse 8[]

In the backdrop, the ordinary world burns.
A time where ordinary life is broken.
Somewhere inside you... you're enjoying this.

Verse 9[]

Did you really think this world would have been better left in peace?

Verse 10[]

Before
My name is Parrah.
And my name is Noya.
We're the administrators connecting these worlds.
Thanks to a foolish scientist this world is broken.
And through its cracks, the worlds are blending together like pus-filled flesh.
One is the world you know, "Reality."
The other is one you have yet to visit... one in which the world's desires are constantly consumed and inflated.
"Welcome to the Library."

Newsreader: ...a large-scale evacuation that may include deployment of...

Newsreader: ...regarding the state of emergency declared in the capital...

Newsreader: ...response to a string of organized terrorist attacks, this morning the government...

Newsreader: ...and evacuation centers are closed to further evacuees...

Newsreader: ...are calls for the mobilization of U.S. military forces...

Newsreader: ...statement has been issued by the Prime Minister...

After
The borders between Reality and the Library were broken.
These two worlds will remain connected until the end of a predetermined time.
That connection is a call to continue the struggle.
The girls transformed into even stronger beings through the lifeforce gathered at the Colosseum.
Kill others out of desire.
Kill yourself out of desire.
The stage had been set for a fight to the death between two girls martyred for their deeds.

Discordant Poem[]

Did you think you'd learn like you did in school?
Did you think you'd get guidance like at a company?
Did you think you'd be loved like a newborn?

Creeping doubts call forth monsters from the dark.
A bloodcurdling shriek steeped in insanity rings out with every fallen enemy.
Ignorance veils them from the monsters they themselves are becoming.

The girls fight for their lives. The atonement they sought for their sins, squandered.
Let us sing. Sing of their despair.
