...
"Ah...! You're... finally awake."
".... Do you remember who you are and what you are doing here?
... I guess not. Well, I think I should refresh your memory."
"Are you seeing this place? The leaves, the clouds, everything?
Well, this place has a name. This beautiful scenery doesn't exist just for show."
"Currently, you are in Elysium. An utopian realm that exists within the border of life and death."
"This place will soon be called home by 10 lost souls who found themselves here.
These souls were once human beings just like me and you, but they have reached man's ultimate fate.
Death."
"But these souls weren't just any human beings, they went through an immense amount of suffering in their lifes."
"But they aren't here just because they suffered.
But because they were also deemed a lost cause by the society they were living in. And that caused them to be lost in the afterlife."
"But, don't think it's a bit unfair to have lived a life like that?
Don't you think.... They deserve a second chance?"
"Well, that's exactly what we may give them. What YOU may give them."
"Yep, that's YOUR role. Because you are THE ANGEL."
"THE ANGEL only has to do something very simple.
You have to make a choice."
"You will talk to each of the souls, see them interact with each other, and then determine what they deserve. Whether that will be SALVATION or ABANDONMENT."
"This process will go on for 3 trials, so you have plenty of time to rethink previous decisions."
"But, Elysium doesn't know anything about each soul.
How they died, why they died, and what was the cause of their suffering are things that YOU will have to discover."
"... How? Well, in Elysium's own special way.
We will extract the thoughts, feelings, worldviews, deaths, everything of the souls, into videos and music. After all, what's a better way for someone to express themselves than music?"
"But, we can't extract everything all at once, and, at the beginning, everything may sound very cryptic.
But that's what the 3 trials are for. The more that time passes, the more you'll understand and get information on the souls."
".... Huh? My.... Name?
I forgot to introduce myself?"
"Oh well, I guess i'll just do it now.
My name is-
.... You know what? You don't need to know my name."
"For now, just call me:
'THE OVERSEER'."
".... Oh? You seem exicited.
You want to save them all, don't you?"
".... Are you really going to be able to do that?"
"You know....
None of the souls actually want your help."
"... Take that as you will, okay?"
"... Just one more thing.
Your name....
Is Numen."
"Heh. That got your attention real fast."
"... Did you doubt that?"
"Anyhow, are you ready, my angel?
Now....
LET THE ELYSIUM FIRST TRIAL BEGIN."
