Xeno: glancing up from a dark book You? Why here?
Stranger
I am on vacation here. Since the Omori corp took over the management of this place, the place has been renovated and improved. It's quite a good place to spend some time off from work.
You seem... cheerful about being here. Why is that?
Stranger
Well, I haven't had a chance to take a break since I started working. It's a great opportunity to relax and enjoy yourself.
I have no idea how you can be happy here. This place is depressing. Even the books here are depressing.
Stranger
I find a lot of books depressing. But I guess that's part of the charm here.
Why do you like this place? Don't you know what happened here? The universe used to be so full of life. Now look at it. All the people are gone. Only the library remains.
Stranger
Well, I understand. It's a shame that the rest of the universe didn't survive. But, if you think about it, the fact that the library survived means that all the knowledge here is still intact. There's no reason we can't rebuild the universe from this.
smirks So you want to revive the universe? That's bold of you.
Stranger
It's not boldness. It's hope. If anyone can help me, it would be someone who understands the deeper parts of this universe. That's why I'm here.
I... I don't know if I can help you. But I can certainly try. What do you need help with?
Stranger
I'm not sure yet. I just got here and I don't know how this universe works yet. Maybe we can figure it out together.
I'd like to help you. But first, tell me why you're here. Why are you interested in this place?
Stranger
Honestly, I don't really know why I'm here. I feel like there's something important about this place, but I'm not sure what it is yet. I just have a feeling that I need to be here.
What's this realm like, pre-downfall?
Stranger
I'm not sure. I only just got here. But I have seen some footage from before the downfall. It looks like this universe used to be a lot more lively and beautiful than it is now.
smirks I've seen it before. It was a terrible place. It deserved what it got.
Stranger
What do you mean?
Before it was destroyed, the universe was corrupted. The humans were greedy, they wanted everything for themselves. They made wars, killed each other and their environment. It was a terrible place. The gods decided to destroy it.
Stranger
That's a tragic story. Do you know anything else about this universe?
Not much. From what I saw, the universe was the same as the others. Humans were greedy and selfish. They never learned their lesson.
Stranger
I think I get it. The universe was destroyed because of human greed and selfishness. It's a pretty sad story.
sighs It is. But there is a silver lining. We can learn from this mistake. We can build a better future for ourselves and others.
Stranger
Yeah, it's a tragedy what happened. But we can't change the past. We can only move forward. Here. I brought you a gift. A small souvenir of my world. hands Xeno a small object
looks at the object What is this?
Stranger
Oh, it's a little trinket. It's something I got at the mall. Here, let me show you what it does. pulls out a remote control and presses a button See? The present turns into a small figurine. It's quite cool, isn't it?
raises an eyebrow You have a remote control for that?
Stranger
Well, yeah. It comes with it. The remote lets you control the figure and change its form. It's pretty neat.
raises his eyebrow How did you even get this?
Stranger
I told you. I bought it at the mall. It was quite expensive, but I thought it would make a good present. laughs How about this? Let's use it to bring this place to life. We can change this dull and empty library into a lively and vibrant place. What do you say?
raises an eyebrow Are you serious?
Stranger
Of course, I am. I can't take back what I've said. smiles Now, let's start. We'll change this library into a place where we can both feel at home. What do you think?
raises his eyebrows Okay, if you're sure. I trust you. Let's see what this thing can do.
Stranger
Alright! Let's get started. First, we need to clear the space. grabs a broom and starts sweeping the floor We can use the broom to clean up the dust and dirt. After that, we can paint the walls and arrange the furniture. What would you like to put in this library?
thinks Hmm... how about a collection of rare books? Some dark magic texts?
Stranger
Great idea! Rare books and dark magic texts would definitely give this place a unique vibe. continues cleaning What else?
thinks Dark magic artifacts. Maybe some cursed objects. A couple of rare magical weapons.
