Tranalstion: Lauli
Crimson Troupe.
I once thought I would never hear this name again.
He’s different from us.
They’re always watching him.
He never truly escaped.
Humans let their desires to consume everything around them.
One day they will be consumed themselves.
Be careful.
Don’t let those beautiful things steal your wits.
Doctor, Are you sure you know what you’re searching for?
