4-49: Nothing

An intense golden glow blinked from the Golden Bough that was stabbed into Dongbaek. Soon enough, the space in the K Corp. building around us begins to twist and morph. What could be happening?

Speaker		Dialogue
		Ah, and so…
		Am I still a 'nothing'?
Location: Reconstructing K Corp. Laboratory
As the intense golden glow fades, the space begins to twist and morph.
	Sinner #8 ISHMAEL	Did the Golden Bough have the power to do this? I don't think we’ve even entered the fathoms of ego yet… Was it capable of warping the real world?
	Sinner #2 FAUST	Excitement or questions over matters related to the Golden Boughs have little meaning.
	Sinner #2 FAUST	To you, and to Faust… All of us would be the very first witnesses to what is happening before our eyes.
	Sinner #2 FAUST	It would be statistically sound to assume that we will continue to witness previously unseen events in the future.
	Sinner #8 ISHMAEL	I suppose you’re right… I mean, look at that…
Unable to properly articulate her words any further, Ishmael pointed a finger instead.
	Sinner #8 ISHMAEL	Even the dead… are coming back…
Bodies that have been devoid of life for a while begin to rise.
Their organs or body parts were severely damaged; this could only be described as 'resurrection'.
	Sinner #13 GREGOR	Huh, I’ve seen some stuff, but bringing people back from the dead… sounds too implausible. Even K Corp’s HP ampules couldn’t do this much, right?
	Sinner #12 OUTIS	It’s unlikely that there was absolutely no technology or Singularity capable of complete revival at some point.
	Sinner #12 OUTIS	However, if such technology did exist… I, for one, haven’t heard of it once even during war.
	Sinner #12 OUTIS	That can only mean… it’s not a kind of technology allowed to prosper in the City. …If I had to guess, the Head might…
	Sinner #2 FAUST	Indeed. It may well be an act of taboo as established by the Head.
	Sinner #2 FAUST	It’s completely different from Limbus Company’s case, where we can experience revival by synchronizing with Dante.
	Sinner #5 MEURSAULT	It’s different, and wrong.
	Sinner #5 MEURSAULT	Theirs is not a complete restoration, unlike our case. They’re merely…
	Sinner #5 MEURSAULT	Animated. That is all. They appear to lack consciousness and reason.
	Sinner #13 GREGOR	Seems that way… In other words, I guess it would only count as a taboo if both the mind and body are recovered.
	Sinner #2 FAUST	……

4-51: Binding

Technology liberation alliance members we were sure were dead start attacking us. We keep moving forward in the rearranging space, looking for the Golden Bough that’s still near us.

Pre-Battle

Speaker		Dialogue
Location: Reconstructing K Corp. Laboratory
When I took a closer look at the revived foes after the battle, I could see a liquid of a familiar hue flowing from their eyes.
	Technology Liberation Alliance Revived? Liberation Alliance Member	Unh… Ahheahii…
	Sinner #2 FAUST	Dante, do you feel the Golden Bough’s presence nearby?
	Sinner #2 FAUST	Last time I saw, the Golden Bough was lodged into Dongbaek’s body…
	Manager DANTE	<I can’t find her corpse anywhere… Must have been moved away when the space twisted.>
	Manager DANTE	<But it can’t be too far away, I’m sure of it. I can feel it…>
	Sinner #11 SINCLAIR	Ah, I don’t see Dongrang, either.
	Sinner #2 FAUST	He’s likely to be in the same location as the deceased Dongbaek.
	Sinner #11 SINCLAIR	Until now… we’ve experienced the fathoms of ego at the same time. I guess it’s thanks to Dante’s particular… affinity, if that makes sense…?
	Sinner #7 HEATHCLIFF	The hell are you talking about. Affinity?
	Sinner #2 FAUST	Do you mean the chains binding us?
	Sinner #11 SINCLAIR	Yeah… This is one of their influences, right?
	Sinner #11 SINCLAIR	Then, what will happen if someone like Dongrang gets to the fathoms?
	Sinner #3 DON QUIXOTE	Fret not, for we shall find out from now on!
	Sinner #3 DON QUIXOTE	Let us vanquish the foes ahead for now!

4-54: Reminisced League of Nine
