Haha! There's a second act?
Such a pompous stage! This feels like some sort of weird game show from the Golden Age...
Roland takes a graceful stance on the stage.
Did you know I was a famous actor during the Golden Age? Do you want to see me perform?
As a thank-you gift for this generous experience?
Ha! Know that you've missed something incredible!
Roland raises and wags his index finger teasingly.
Alright, then—let the show begin.
Before you can react, Roland leans toward you, forcing you into a corner.
I'm an actor. Of course I need another character to oppose me...
Now, let me start saying my lines.
Sigh. What a shame. I guess this show cannot go on anymore.
Well then, should I offer you something else in return?
The truth about the Ascension-Network? My personal hobbies? You know I won't hide anything from you...
You briefly explain the history of the maze to Roland.
Spring... Romance... Haha! I like this theme.
After all, what's the difference between two people in a romantic relationship and a puppet with its puppeteers?
Your string is always pulled when the other moves.
The thread between lovers is invisible. One can easily sense the difference between genuine care and someone pulling a string.
Oh? Is that so?
Roland chuckles.
Then... can you tell if I'm performing or being genuine?
