…During Hallow's Eve, in Griffin's Club Activity Room. A ghost storytelling session is in progress.……万圣节前夜，格里芬社团活动室。 鬼故事大会进行中。
MDR...This is early footage of Miss Passadou from when she was alive. She was certainly a ravishing beauty by human standards. I don't know much about musicals, but I find Miss Passadou's singing positively exquisite, I'd even say it moves my very soul. That is, if I even have a soul...……这就是帕萨杜小姐在世时的早期影像资料，从人类的视角来看确实是绝世的美人。 虽然我不是很懂音乐剧，但我认为帕萨杜小姐的歌声也非常美丽，甚至有触动灵魂的感觉。 如果灵魂真的存在的话……
Type 97SWhen you dragged us in here, you said it was going to be a ghost story...刚刚你把我们几个拉进来的时候，明明说的是开鬼故事大会……
MDRBe patient. I'm setting the mood for the ghost story here, can't you see?不要急嘛，我这不是正在营造鬼故事大会的氛围？
Super SASSSo this Miss Passadou has something to do with the ghost story you're about to tell?这位帕萨杜小姐和前辈要讲的鬼故事有关？
MDRExactly! Miss Passadou is the very star of my ghost story!没错！我的鬼故事的主角正是帕萨杜小姐！
SpitfireAre you referring to the incident about the haunted theater?剧院幽灵事件吗？
MDRThat's right! The incident that happened exactly a year ago! On Halloween last year, the famous theater burned through the night...对！正是刚好发生在一年前的剧院幽灵事件！ 在去年的万圣节前夜，知名剧院燃烧了几乎一整夜……
SpitfireThis story has already been covered extensively by all major media outlets. If that's your bombshell tonight, then please excuse me.那个事件早就被各大娱乐媒体报道了个遍，如果这就是你今天的重磅好戏，那我就先失陪了。
Type 97SI think I'll also...我也……
MDRNot so fast! Listen here, of course I know it's super old news! But I wouldn't have put together a ghost storytelling session if I hadn't unearthed new secrets! Look, I'm putting my reputation on the line here – I've got my livestreaming gear all set up.别别别！你们听我说，被报道了个底朝天这种事，我当然知道啊！ 但我之所以有底气开这个鬼故事大会，肯定是掌握了一些不为人知的消息才敢搞的嘛！ 你们看那，我可是赌上了MDR的尊严，连直播设备都架设好了。
Type 97SDear me, I haven't seen MDR this serious in a while. Alright then, go on.唉呀妈呀，难得看见MDR这么认真的样子，那你继续唠吧。
Spitfire... You have my attention.…… 那我就洗耳恭听了。
MDRHeheh, we'll begin with Miss Passadou. Miss Passadou was a famous musical actress best known for her performance in "Butterfly in a Cocoon". It is said that coincidentally, the story of her life was quite similar to the musical itself.嘿嘿，我们就从帕萨杜小姐开始说起。 帕萨杜小姐是位有名气的音乐剧女演员，成名作是《蝴蝶茧》。 据说巧合的是，帕萨杜小姐的人生经历也和《蝴蝶茧》的剧情相似。
Super SASSWhat is "Butterfly in a Cocoon" about?《蝴蝶茧》讲的是什么啊？
MDRUh, I haven't watched it myself! Video recording isn't allowed in theaters... I only heard about this from actual musical enthusiasts... Come to think of it, don't you go to the theater regularly, Spitfire?呃，这个我也没有看过啦！现场不允许拍摄…… 这条消息也是我看那些音乐剧爱好者说的啦…… 喷火好像经常去剧院来着？
SpitfireI'll give you a brief summary. A couple live quietly in a desolate mansion. But one day, an amnesiac woman suddenly appears on their doorstep. The kind-hearted couple take her in, but the longer she stays, the more she grows to resemble the mistress of the house – not just in speech and demeanor, but also in physical appearance. Eventually, the woman becomes the spitting image of the mistress, as if she were her reflection. Meanwhile, the mistress gradually grows weak. Then on a rainy night when the husband is out, the woman attacks the wife.概括一下，就是有一对居住在荒凉庄园的夫妻，他们过着平静的生活。 但是某天，一个失去记忆的女人突然闯入了庄园。 好心的夫妻收留了她，但是在相处的过程中，这个女人不仅言行举止，连容貌都与妻子越来越像，最后近乎完全一致，犹如妻子的倒影一样。 这期间，妻子的身体渐渐变得虚弱了起来。 之后，丈夫出门的一个雨夜，这个女人突然袭击了妻子。
MDRW-what happened next?然、然后呢？
SpitfireThe wife and her doppelgänger are locked in a deadly struggle when the husband comes home. The intertwined women are so alike that even he cannot tell who is his real wife. In the end, the husband makes a choice and helps his wife destroy the doppelgänger, but he is gravely injured in the process and unfortunately passes away. The mistress of the house, still weak from the ordeal, summons all the servants in the mansion and informs them of what has transpired, but other than herself, no one seems to recall the existence of the strange woman.倒影和妻子展开了殊死搏斗，没想到丈夫却在此时回到了家中。 两个容貌一致的女人缠斗在一起，连丈夫也难以分辨出到底谁才是妻子。 最终，丈夫成功认出妻子并帮助她消灭了倒影，但丈夫自己也身受重伤不幸离世。 奄奄一息的妻子叫来了庄园中的仆人，向大家讲述了整件事情的经过，但是除了妻子，没有人记得那个女人的存在。
Super SASSHuh?! But how is that possible...?啊！怎么会这样……
Type 97SSo is everything all the wife's imagination? Or maybe there was never any strange amnesiac woman. Maybe the wife orchestrated the whole thing and put on a show just to cover up the fact that she murdered her husband.所以这一切都是妻子的幻想？ 根本就没有什么奇怪的失忆女人来过，从头到尾都只是妻子的自导自演，一切都是为了掩盖自己杀害丈夫的罪行。
MDRI for one think it's the doppelgänger's doing. Her plan to replace the wife fails. So she moves on in search for her next victim and wipes the memory of everyone who has seen her. But for whatever reason, the wife still remembers her...我觉得是倒影的阴谋失败，她没能成功取代妻子。 为了能继续寻找下一个受害者，她删去了所有见过自己的人的记忆。 只是这个妻子因为某种原因，没有忘记她的存在……
Super SASSBut then it is just as plausible that the doppelgänger has indeed succeeded in replacing the wife. She could have killed the mistress of the house in the middle of the night when everyone was asleep, taken her place, and wiped the memory of the entire household. The account she gave at the end could just be theatrics to cover up the truth...这样的话，那说成是倒影战胜了妻子也没问题啊。 在无人醒来的夜晚，倒影杀害了妻子，彻底取代了她，再删去所有当事人的记忆。 倒影陈述的整件事情也不过是用来掩饰真相的狡辩……
Type 97SThe more you think about it, the spookier it becomes...怎么越讲越瘆得慌……
SpitfireYou think these were Dolls? Human memory can't be "wiped" just like that, you know?你们以为是人形吗？还能随意删除记忆？
MDRBut the ending is super interesting! Spitfire, what's the correct interpretation of the ending?这部剧的结局很有意思嘛！ 喷火，结局的正确解读到底是什么啊？
SpitfireThere is no "correct" interpretation. I believe that's what they call an open ending. You are free to believe that the mistress of the house overcomes the doppelgänger or vice versa; you can also simply interpret the entire story as nothing but a dream. The night when the husband is away, the entire mansion is like a cocoon formed by a caterpillar that has turned into a chrysalis. People only see that a butterfly emerges from the cocoon at the end, but nobody knows what exactly happened within the cocoon.没有所谓的正确解读，我认为这就是开放式结局。 你可以认为妻子战胜了倒影，也可以认为妻子其实已经被倒影取代，或者干脆认为这一切不过是一场梦。 丈夫离开的那一夜，这个庄园就像是毛毛虫化蛹之后形成的茧，人们只能看见最后有一只蝴蝶破茧而出，却没有人知道茧中到底发生了什么。
Super SASSI don't quite get it, but it feels pretty deep...虽然不太懂，但感觉是个有深意的故事……
MDRYou sure know your stuff. Then you can probably guess where the story I'm about to tell takes place.喷火果然很了解嘛，那你应该知道我要讲的故事的发生地了。
SpitfireThe abandoned theater not far from our base?那座距离我们基地不远的废弃剧院吗？
MDRPrecisely. That abandoned theater was where Miss Passadou was based. Back when it was at the height of its splendor, the lights would never go out, and beautiful music would drift into the streets. But after the strange fire that burned down the building, it is now utterly deserted, or you could say it's lively in a very oxymoronic sense of the word...距离我们基地不远的那座废弃的剧院就是帕萨杜小姐过去常驻的地方。 在它最为辉煌的时候，夜夜灯火不灭，悠扬的歌声传遍四方。 但在一场蹊跷的火灾之后，现在的剧院彻底荒废，或许应该说以另一种方式热闹着……
Super SASSI've heard from some other seniors that the place is haunted...我听前辈说，那里在闹鬼……
Type 97SThey were just trying to scare you...那是你前辈讲来吓你的……
MDRRumor has it, the reason why the theater became abandoned in the first place was because Miss Passadou's ghost maintains a silent vigil over the building and refuses to let anyone get close to it.传闻中，那座剧院之所以废弃，正是因为帕萨杜小姐的冤魂盘踞在那里，默默守护这剧院，不允许别人靠近。
A sudden splash of pale lightning illuminates the Dolls' faces, followed by the bellow of loud thunder. MDR gulps surreptitiously and begins her story.轰然一响，惨白的闪电照亮了几位人形的脸。 MDR不着痕迹地咽了咽口水，开始继续讲述传闻。
MDRThe story starts from the time when Miss Passadou wasn't yet the prima donna. Back then, she was merely an ordinary actress recently hired by the theater to play background roles in their productions. After a long time of diligent training, she eventually became a principal actress and got some important roles.故事的开头，要从帕萨杜小姐还未成为主演时说起。 那时，她还只是刚进入剧院的普通演员，只能在音乐剧中担任背景板一般的角色。 后来经过不间断的训练，帕萨杜小姐终于成为了剧院的主演，能够担任一些重要的角色了。
Super SASSWow, a person who achieved her dreams through hard work? What a motivational story...哇——通过努力变成自己想要成为的人吗？ 是个很励志的故事呢……
MDRHush, it was just the beginning. Making good use of her beauty and talent, Miss Passadou married Mr. Arla, the proprietor of the theater. The marriage cemented her position in the theater and also made life a lot easier for her.嘘，这只是故事的开始—— 凭借自己的美貌与才华，帕萨杜小姐嫁给了剧院的老板阿尔拉先生。 既巩固了帕萨杜小姐在剧院中的地位，也让她的生活轻松了很多。
Type 97SWhat happened then? How did the theater turn into a haunted house?然后呢，剧院怎么就变成鬼屋了？
MDRHappiness is always short-lived. Soon enough, accident after accident occurred, and Miss Passadou was eventually overcome. First, an unexpected illness made it impossible for her to ever take the stage again. For someone who was accustomed to being showered by the audience's applause and adoration, this was an extraordinarily heavy blow. Then she noticed that her dear husband Mr. Arla was becoming more and more distant... And the reason behind his frigidness was no other than the supporting actress who had been trying to supplant her— Miss Jane Doe!然而幸福的时光总是短暂的，很快，一场接一场的意外压垮了帕萨杜小姐。 先是一场突如其来的疾病让她无法再登台演出。 对一个习惯沐浴在观众掌声下的歌者而言，这样的打击无比沉重。 接着，帕萨杜小姐发现自己的爱人阿尔拉先生开始对自己越来越冷漠…… 而背后的原因，正是力图取代帕萨杜小姐的女配—— 简·冬小姐在从中作梗！
Spitfire...Miss Jane Doe?……简·冬小姐？
Super SASS...Miss Passadou's life was so tragic.……帕萨杜小姐的人生好惨哦。
Type 97SThis is pretty clichéd if you ask me! Then Miss Jane Doe snatched Mr. Arla from Miss Passadou, and the two of them murdered her together, didn't they?也忒狗血了啊！然后就是简·冬小姐抢走了阿尔拉先生，两人联手杀害了帕萨杜小姐吧？
MDRNope. After the fire, only Mr. Arla's body was discovered. According to the witnesses' accounts, when the theater was burning, they could hear Miss Passadou's singing coming from inside the building. The singing went on and on until her voice grew weaker and finally went completely silent... Most people believe that Miss Passadou also died inside the theater and continued to watch over it as a ghost, which was why her body was never found. As for Miss Jane Doe, she hadn't been seen again ever since the fire. Some say that she is the doppelgänger in "Butterfly in a Cocoon", and that she has already moved on in search for her next victim...不是哦，在那场火灾后，人们只发现了阿尔拉先生的遗体。 但根据当天目击者的证言，剧院燃烧时，他们在场外听见帕萨杜小姐一直在歌唱，后来声音渐渐弱了下去，直到完全沉默…… 所以人们都相信帕萨杜小姐也死在了剧院中，只是化作了幽灵继续守护剧院，所以尸体不见了…… 而简·冬小姐自从火灾之后就再也没有出现过。 有人说，简·冬小姐就是《蝴蝶茧》中的倒影，她已经开始物色下一个目标了……
Type 97SWhat's going on in here?这是怎么回事？
...The lights suddenly come on.……灯突然亮了起来。
MDRWHOAAAAAA!!!哇啊啊啊——
Super SASSOh!呜哇——
SpitfireMiss Kalina.格琳娜小姐。
Type 97SMiss Kalina! You scared the crap outta me!格琳娜小姐！我吓趴窝了！
KalinaSorry, the lights weren't on in the room so I thought it was empty.抱歉抱歉，我看活动室里关着灯，还以为没人呢。
MDRWe're telling ghost stories...我们正在举行鬼故事大会……
KalinaIs that so? But... You didn't submit a venue booking application, did you, MDR?这样吗？可是…… MDR，你没有提交活动场地申请吧？
MDRI-I forgot, okay...?我、我忘了啦……
KalinaWell, that's a shame... The Activity Room has been booked by Springfield for tonight. She's hosting some kind of Halloween pastry tasting event. You guys can also join in.那就很遗憾了…… 今晚活动室的场地已经被春田预定了，好像是要做万圣甜品分享会来着。 你们也可以参加啊。
MDRHow are we supposed to tell ghost stories with all the lights on?! Wait, I've got it...开着灯怎么做鬼故事大会啊！ 等等，我知道了……
A mischievous look flashes across MDR's face but is instantly suppressed.MDR的脸上闪过一丝狡黠，但很快被掩饰。
MDRRight, thanks, Miss Kalina! We'll be off then...那谢谢你啦，格琳娜小姐！ 我们这就走……
KalinaDon't mention it.不客气哦。
...In the empty warehouse.……无人的仓库中。
Type 97SWhy have you dragged us all the way here? Are you planning to continue the ghost story in the warehouse?你把我们拉到这旮旯来干嘛？ 打算在这里继续开鬼故事大会？
Super SASS...The atmosphere isn't as nice as the Activity Room, but it'll do.……虽然氛围比起刚刚差了点，但还凑合啦。
MDRNo, no, no. O ye, of little faith. I've thought of an even better place of telling the story.不不不，你们把我MDR想成什么人形了？ 我只是有了更好的场地选择。
Type 97SHold on, don't tell me you're thinking about going to the abandoned theater...等等，你不会是想去废弃剧院里讲吧……
SpitfireI agree with the idea.我同意。
Super SASSWhat?!诶？！
MDRWhat's more thrilling than telling ghost stories on the turf of a ghost?! I'm also gonna set up a livestream – Exploring a spooky haunted theater LIVE! This is definitely gonna go viral! Hahahahaha!在恶灵的地盘讲恶灵的故事，还有什么比这更刺激的呢？！ 我再开个直播，灵异闹鬼剧院探险LIVE！ 肯定人气爆炸哈哈哈哈哈！
MDR...What, you don't dare?……怎么，你们不敢吗？
Type 97SI-I just think it might be a bit dangerous to head out in this weather.我、我就是想着这天气出门，有点危险。
Spitfire opens the door of the warehouse. The thunderstorm that had been raging before is now nowhere to be seen.Spitfire推开了仓库的门，刚刚还肆虐的暴雨已经不见踪迹了。
SpitfireThe rain has stopped for now.雨暂时停了。
Type 97S... SASS, you're also going, right?…… SASS，你也去的对不对？
Super SASSHuh? Me...? Miss Type 97S, please go easy on my arm... I'm going, I'm going!诶？我吗…… 97式霰前辈，你轻点抓我…… 我去，我一定去！
MDRRight-O! Griffin Expedition Team, we're live!好！格里芬探险小队的直播，发射！
Reflection 倒影
Read this chapter with voices →...In the abandoned theater.……废弃的剧院中。
MDRSorry for the wait, people out there watching this stream! We have now arrived at our destination— The haunted theater! Keep the views and likes coming if you're interested!各位收看直播的观众，久等了！ 现在，我们已经抵达了传闻中的地点—— 闹鬼的剧院！ 感兴趣的朋友们火箭刷起来啊！
Type 97S...I get that the theater is abandoned and all, but they didn't have to leave these puppets lying around like this, right? They give me the creeps when it's so dark...……就算这个剧院已经废弃了，也没必要把人偶就这样扔地上吧。 大晚上的来这里，看着瘆得慌……
Super SASSI-I can't shake the feeling that somebody is watching me...总、总感觉有谁在盯着我……
SpitfireMDR, what did this Jane Doe do afterwards?MDR，那位传闻中的女配简·冬小姐之后做了什么？
MDROh, right! Let's continue with the ghost story. So our beautiful and talented Miss Passadou's life at the theater, which had been going swimmingly so far, was ruined. She was tormented by her incurable illness and the betrayal of her love... Meanwhile, like many clichéd novels, we have a villain – Jane Doe, who is deeply envious of Miss Passadou and seeks to completely replace her. The easiest way of replacing someone is... To become this person and eliminate her existence.啊，对！让我们继续鬼故事吧。 上回，我们讲到美貌出众又才华横溢的帕萨杜小姐在剧院中一帆风顺的生活被打破。 难以治愈的疾病和爱人的背叛纠缠着她脆弱的心灵…… 而与此同时，和很多狗血小说的情节一样，深深嫉妒着帕萨杜小姐的简·冬想要彻底取代她。 而最便利的取代一个人的方法就是—— 成为她的同时，抹除本体的存在。
Type 97SWait, what exactly does that mean?等等，这是啥意思？
MDRIn Jane Doe's case, since she wished to replace Miss Passadou, she would wear Miss Passadou's face, take everything that belonged to Miss Passadou, then kill her.对简·冬小姐来说，如果想要彻底取代帕萨杜小姐，那就换上帕萨杜小姐的脸，夺走帕萨杜小姐的一切，再杀掉帕萨杜小姐这个人。
Super SASS...Was she deliberately re-enacting the story of "Butterfly in a Cocoon"?……这是刻意模仿《蝴蝶茧》的剧情吗？
SpitfireIt's apparent from Miss Jane Doe's actions that she adored Miss Passadou – she adored her so much she wanted to become her. It's hardly surprising that she would fashion her crime after Miss Passadou's most famous work.简·冬小姐的行为说明她十分喜欢帕萨杜小姐，喜欢到想要成为这个人，所以模仿帕萨杜小姐的成名作进行犯罪也不是什么意外的事。
MDRWell, there's no definite psychoanalysis on Miss Jane Doe. "All the world's a stage." As Miss Passadou's most famous work, "Butterfly in a Cocoon" is a perfect caricature of her experience.简·冬小姐的心理过程就没人知道了。 戏如人生，人生如戏。 作为帕萨杜小姐成名作的《蝴蝶茧》，恰好也能映现出她的经历。
Type 97SAre humans capable of completely replicating a person's face? Is that even legal?人类能做到完全复制别人的脸？这合法吗?
MDRAs far as I know, it is only illegal for a Doll to bear close physical resemblance to an existing human, but there is no law that forbids a human from cosmetically altering their appearance based on another human's face. Besides, humans have very advanced technology when it comes to cosmetic surgery, though I suppose it's still harder for them to change the way they look compared to us? I'm not too sure either. In any case, this Jane Doe found a clinic that was willing to give her Miss Passadou's face, and she underwent the operation.据我所知，法律上似乎只限制了人形的面容不能和现存人类过于相似，但并没有禁止人类照着其他人类的脸进行整容的条例。 而且人类的整容技术也是很先进的，虽然可能还是没有人形方便？我也不是很了解啦。 总之，这位简·冬小姐找到了愿意为自己换上帕萨杜小姐面容的诊所，成功进行了手术。
SpitfireI have a question – unlike Dolls, wouldn't it take a human a long time to recuperate after undergoing such a radical facial reconstructive surgery? And this is assuming that the surgery was even successful in the first place. From what I know, this kind of face replacement surgery has an extremely low rate of success.我有个问题，不同于人形，人类进行大规模的面部重组手术是需要相当长的恢复时间的吧。 并且这是在手术成功的前提下，而据我所知，这种完全复刻别人面容的手术成功率极低。
Type 97SThat's right, she wouldn't be able to work at the theater while she was recovering from the operation. Her boss would've totally ditched her if she was away for so long...是啊，简·冬小姐恢复期间也不能继续在剧院工作了吧。 长时间请假一定会被老板秃噜掉……
MDRWho knows? Perhaps like the doppelgänger in the play, Miss Jane Doe also has special powers? Anyway, by the time she returned to the theater, she was already the spitting image of Miss Passadou! Even the staff had trouble telling them apart.谁知道呢？说不定就像剧中的幻影一样，这位简·冬小姐也有着神奇的能力？ 总之，等简·冬小姐再次出现在剧院中的时候，她的脸已经和帕萨杜小姐一模一样了！ 连剧院中的工作人员都很难分辨出两人。
SpitfireI have another question – I just ran a search in the database but there is no record of any woman named Jane Doe.我还有个问题，我刚刚搜索了一下数据库，也没有找到任何符合条件的叫简·冬的女士。
MDRThat's the freakiest thing about the story! Among the survivors of the fire, not a single one remembered a woman called Jane Doe. The police only learned of her through Miss Passadou's diary, but they couldn't find any other information about this woman, so nobody knows for sure if there was ever a Jane Doe.这个就是故事中惊悚的部分了！ 目前还幸存的当事人中，没有任何人记得简·冬小姐的存在。 警方后来通过帕萨杜小姐的日记才知道简·冬小姐的事情，不过因为找不到任何相关资料，所以也无法确定简·冬小姐是否真的存在。
Type 97SIn other words, Miss Jane Doe could've merely been a figment of Miss Passadou's imagination, or she could be an actual being that existed, just like the doppelgänger...也就是说，简·冬小姐有可能只存在于帕萨杜小姐的想象中，也有可能像倒影一样真的存在过……
Super SASSIt's totally like "Butterfly in a Cocoon", but in reality...完全就是《蝴蝶茧》的现实版啊……
SpitfireThis makes no sense at all.这很不合理。
MDRI'll admit it does sound a bit dubious... But if it were entirely logical, it wouldn't have been much of an urban legend, would it?是有点不合理啦……不过完全合乎逻辑的话，也不能被称为都市传说了嘛。
Type 97SDid you guys just hear something?你们有没有听见什么声音啊……
Super SASSHear what?什么声音？
MDR hops onto the stage and presents it to the livestream camera with great gusto.MDR跳上舞台，兴奋地向直播设备展示着。
MDRYou see this, my friends? This is where Miss Passadou used to perform when she was alive! Now don't be hasty, I'll show you around! If you're enjoying this stream, remember to smash that subscribe button! Muah! ❤各位朋友看见了吗？这里就是帕萨杜小姐生前表演的地方！ 不要着急，我来带各位参观下！ 喜欢的朋友们记得双击，么么哒❤
Type 97SHey, MDR, I don't think it's a good idea to mess with the stuff in here...喂，MDR，这里的东西还是不要乱动比较好吧？
Super SASSShe's right...是啊，前辈……
MDRDon't sweat it! The place is deserted anyway! I wonder if this piano even works...没关系啦，反正整个剧院都废弃掉了！ 不知道这架钢琴还能不能演奏？
MDR walks over to the old and battered piano in the corner. She lifts the lid and randomly pushes a key.MDR走近角落破旧的钢琴，然后掀开琴键盖，手指随意敲下一个琴键。
A gust of chilly wind blows through the auditorium.阴风渺渺。
In the blink of an eye, the charred theater is completely restored to its previous splendor. The curtains slowly rises, revealing an empty stage.眨眼间，原本被火烧毁的剧院焕然一新。 幕布缓缓拉开，露出空无一人的舞台。
Type 97SHey, what the hell did you do?!喂喂喂——你干了啥啊？！
MDRWhat's going on? Are we in a different place?怎么回事？怎么像变了个地方？
Super SASSGo easy on my arm, Miss MDR!前辈！轻点拽我啊！
SpitfireThat's...这是……
A graceful woman walks out onto the stage from the wing, delicate and colorful petals swirling gently around her.一个身姿曼妙的女人从侧面走上舞台，娇嫩鲜艳的花朵绕着她飞舞。
Type 97SWho's that?这谁啊？
Super SASSShe's lovely...好美啊……
MDRHold on! Isn't that—等等！这不就是——
???"Think of me, think of me fondly..." "When we've said goodbye."“想念我，深情地想念我” “当我们已互道永别”
Type 97SMDR, explain!MDR，你倒是说完啊！
Super SASSMiss MDR! Miss MDR, what's the matter with you?前辈，前辈！你怎么了？！
MDR trembles silently, as if she had taken a heavy blow.像是遭受了重击，MDR颤抖着说不出话。
???"Remember me, once in a while..." "Please promise me you'll try."“请在偶然间想起我” “向我承诺你会做到”
SpitfireThat's Miss Passadou.这是帕萨杜小姐。
Type 97SWHAAAT?!哈啊啊啊？！
Super SASSBut isn't she supposed to be...帕萨杜小姐不是已经……
Passadou"When you find..." "That once again you long to take your heart back and be free..." "If you ever find a moment..." "Spare a thought for me."“当你再次意识到” “你渴望将心收回重获自由” “那么请你在片刻的闲暇间” “分出一些思念寄给我”
The empty auditorium erupts in fervent applause.空荡荡的观众席传来热烈的掌声。
Type 97SAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! It's actually haunted!!!! Leg it!!!啊啊啊啊啊——是真的闹鬼啊！！！ 快蹽啊！！！
Super SASSMiss 97S! That's a wall!97式霰前辈！那边是墙！
MDRAAAAHHHH! Help!!!啊啊啊啊——救命啊！！！
Super SASSMiss MDR!MDR前辈！
Spitfire...Have you never seen a hologram?……你们没见过立体投影吗？
Spitfire frowns and makes her way over to Passadou, who is singing passionately...and walks right through her.Spitfire皱着眉头走向正在深情歌唱的帕萨杜，然后直接穿过了帕萨杜的身体。
SpitfireStop dashing about like crazy bulls. It's just a projection.别瞎跑了，这是投影而已。
All of a sudden, the scene around them shifts again. Spitfire can even feel a warm and fragrant breeze blowing in her face. Passadou lifts her skirts and walks into the flowerbed. The hemline of her dress brushes against the small, delicate flowers as morning dew clings onto the fabric.倏忽一瞬，身边的场景又一次改变了。 Spitfire甚至感觉有温暖的风裹挟着花香扑面而来。 帕萨杜拎起裙摆，走进花丛中。 裙摆擦过细碎的花朵，被清晨的露水微微濡湿。
Passadou...Do you know who my idol is?……你知道我的偶像吗？
Super SASSN-no.不、不知道。
MDRHolyyyy crap... The ghost is talking to me!哇啊啊啊啊——幽灵在跟我说话！
Type 97SAAAAAHHHH! RUN!!!啊啊啊啊！快蹽啊！！！
PassadouIt's Eva Friedel, once known as the "Diva of the Century". She was an opera singer, so not exactly like me, but she's still someone I want to become. One day, I will also live on in people's memory as a Diva. Even when my body is no more, my spirit will endure for eternity.是艾娃·弗里德哦，曾经的“世纪歌姬”。 虽然她是歌剧演员，跟我不太一样，但她依然是我想要成为的人。 总有一天，我也会成为永远活在世人心中的歌姬。 纵使我的肉体凋零，我的精神也会永恒存在。
Spitfire... Eva Friedel, huh?…… 艾娃·弗里德吗？
PassadouUntil that day, you will always be with me, won't you?直到那一天来临之前，你都会一直陪在我身边的，对吗？
Passadou smiles dazzlingly at the Dolls. Type 97S' eyes roll back into her head and she collapses like a felled log.帕萨杜对着人形们灿烂一笑。 97式霰翻了个白眼，直挺挺地倒了下去。
MDRAAAAAAH! LET ME OUTTA HERE!啊啊啊啊啊！放我出去啊！
Spitfire(Sighs) Looks like these two won't chill until we shut down this holographic projection...哎……看来不把这个投影关掉，这两个人形是不会消停的了……
Super SASSIs there anything I can do to help?前辈，有什么我能帮上忙的吗？
SpitfireGood. Keep an eye on the surroundings for me, SASS. I'm hacking the control system to see who's behind this.很好，SASS，帮我戒备附近。 我要骇入剧院的控制系统，看看是谁在搞鬼。
Super SASSNo problem, leave it to me!没问题，交给我吧！
The Nameless · Stage 3-1 (start) 无名之人 · 3-1（前）
Read this chapter with voices →Passadou"We never said our love was evergreen..." "Or as unchanging as the sea." "But if you can still remember..." "Stop and think of me."“从未说过我们的爱如松柏长青” “或如沧海般亘古不变” “但若你能依稀记得” “请你在驻足的片刻间念起我”
Passadou's eyes glisten with tears. She stumbles into the darkness as she hums on... Until her figure finally vanishes.帕萨杜的眼中闪烁着泪光，她一边哼唱着一边跌跌撞撞地走向黑暗中…… 最终，她的身影消散在了空中。
...In the abandoned theater, after the commotion dies down.……混乱平息后，废弃剧院中。
SpitfireIt's over.都结束了。
Super SASSMiss MDR, you may come out from under the chairs...前辈，可以从椅子下出来了……
MDR...Is Miss Passadou gone?……帕萨杜小姐离开了？
Super SASSYes, Miss Spitfire has shut down the control system. Miss 97S! Wake up!嗯，喷火前辈已经关闭了剧院控制系统。 97式霰前辈！快醒醒！
Type 97S jumps to her feet, her face still wrought with fear.97式霰从地上跳起，一脸惊魂未定。
Super SASSMiss 97S... It's over.前辈……已经都结束了。
Type 97SWhere's Miss Passadou?!帕萨杜小姐呢？！
SpitfireGone.已经走了。
Super SASSThat was just a hologram...那都是立体投影啦……
MDRSo the truth behind this haunted theater is nothing but a control system gone haywire? How anti-climatic...所以这个闹鬼剧院背后的真相其实就是剧院控制系统失控？ 也太无聊了吧……
Type 97SWho was screaming their head off just minutes ago...?刚刚还吓得嗷嗷乱叫呢……
MDRWeren't you also—你不也——
SpitfireI'm afraid it isn't that simple.事情可能没有那么简单。
MDRWhat? Is she back again?什么？她又回来了？
SpitfireWhen I hacked the control system, I came across a modified system log. The time of modification just so happened to be exactly a year ago.刚刚骇入控制系统的时候，我找到了一条修改记录。 修改记录的时间恰好是一年前的今天。
Super SASSHuh?! Could it be related to the fire?诶？！跟火灾有关吗？
SpitfireIt might not have caused the fire, but it could still be relevant... The modification was logged about 15 minutes after the fire broke out. A Domestic Doll with the model number AH400 uploaded her neural data to the control system through the network in an attempt to take over the control system AI. But the data transfer was terminated.跟火灾的起因可能无关，但或许有些别的关联也说不定…… 这条修改记录存在于火灾发生后的十五分钟左右，一名型号为AH400的家用人形通过网络向控制系统上传自己的意识数据，企图覆盖控制系统AI。 但是上传进程被终止了。
Super SASSWhat could have terminated the process?发生什么事打断了这个进程吗？
SpitfireI think MDR is the only one here who knows what really happened in the theater during the fire. MDR, any ideas?我们中间大概只有MDR知道火灾当天的剧院里到底发生了什么事。 MDR，你有什么思路吗？
MDRHold on, an AH400 Domestic Doll? Isn't that a really obsolete model?等等，AH400家政人形？那不是已经过时的人形型号了吗？
MDRBesides, no Doll was involved in the entire Passadou incident...而且整个帕萨杜事件里都没有出现过人形吧……
Type 97SI remember theaters are banned from hiring Dolls as actors.我记得剧院是禁止采用人形作为演员的。
Super SASSIs that so?还有这样的规定啊。
SpitfireMDR, finish the story.MDR，你把后面的故事讲完。
MDRNo problem! I might have some ideas after I'm done with it.没问题！说不定等我讲完了就有想法了……
MDR resumes her livestream.MDR重新开启了直播设备。
MDRHello again! Welcome back to the stream! Sorry for the interruption, we were too busy running from a ghost. Now let us continue with the story about this paranormal theater... As mentioned previously, Miss Jane Doe underwent cosmetic surgery and now resembled Miss Passadou so much that nobody could tell them apart.各位观众朋友们！欢迎回到我的直播间！ 刚刚因为躲避幽灵追击，不得不暂时关闭了直播。 现在让我们重新回到这座灵异剧院继续故事…… 上回我们讲到简·冬小姐将自己的脸整得跟帕萨杜小姐一模一样，让人难以分辨。
Type 97SI'm gonna take a short nap. Wake me up when MDR is done with her blathering.我先休眠一会，等MDR唠明白了再叫我。
Super SASSHuh? Miss 97S...?诶？前辈……
MDRMr. Arla, who was torn between the two women, was now resolute in his infidelity to his wife! It's undoubtedly true that Mr. Arla was once deeply in love with Miss Passadou. He loved her for her enthralling beauty, her exceptional talent... But as Miss Passadou's illness grew more serious, she became more temperamental; coupled with the financial losses caused by her canceled performances, the couple drifted further and further apart. That was when Miss Jane Doe came into the picture. She was gentle, gracious, understanding – she thawed Mr. Arla's frozen heart...原本就在两人之间摇摆不定的阿尔拉先生更是彻底动摇！ 我们不能否认，阿尔拉先生曾经深爱帕萨杜小姐，爱她美丽的容颜，出众的才华…… 但随着帕萨杜小姐病情的加重，她逐渐暴躁易怒的性情，加上剧院因此面临的一系列打击，都将阿尔拉先生远远地推离了帕萨杜小姐。 恰巧简·冬小姐在这时出现，温柔端庄，善解人意，温暖了阿尔拉先生冰冷的心……
SpitfireSASS, call me when she gets to the point. I'm having a look around.SASS，讲到关键的地方叫我，我先去附近看看。
Type 97SWait, I'm coming too.等等，我也去。
Super SASSUh...诶……
SASS looks back at MDR, who's enthusiastically babbling at her livestream camera.SASS回头望了望正声情并茂直播的MDR。
Super SASSMiss MDR... Forgive me!MDR前辈……对不住了！
SASS runs off and catches up with Spitfire and Type 97S.SASS一路小跑跟上了Spitfire和97式霰。
...Backstage. Spitfire turns on MDR's livestream. With MDR's long-winded narration playing in the background, the trio starts exploring the bowels of the theater.……剧院后台。 Spitfire打开了MDR的直播，伴随着MDR絮絮叨叨的讲解，三人开始探索起了剧院。
Type 97SSpitfire, you think the D-Doll is still here?喷火，你是不是觉得那个人形还在这里？
Super SASSHuh?! So she's still alive...?啊！那个人形还活着吗……
SpitfireI'm not certain, I just find it odd that there was no mention of any Domestic Doll in the news coverage of the theater fire. According to the reports, the fire was at its worst when it had been burning for 20 minutes. I don't think a D-Doll could break into the theater and escape unscathed within this time frame.不确定，只是当时的新闻报道完全没有提到过在剧院中发现了家用人形。 而根据剧院当时的火势，二十分钟左右正是火势最旺盛的时候。 我不认为一台家用人形在这时闯入剧院能全身而退。
Type 97SAnd here I thought you were onto something. What human press would give a damn about a D-Doll's fate? Grifchan is the only place where you can find the occasional posts about D-Dolls.我还以为你发现了啥呢，人类媒体哪里会关心家用人形的死活啊。 也就格里芬匿名版时不时出现家用人形的相关资讯了吧。
SpitfireIt doesn't matter if no one else cares, we as Dolls must never lose empathy for our own kind. Or our destruction would not be far off.谁都可以不在意家用人形的存亡，但我们身为人形，绝对不能失去对同胞的同理心。 否则也就离灭亡不远了。
Type 97SWhy so serious all of a sudden? Of course I care about the Doll, or I wouldn't have followed you.怎么突然这么严肃？ 我当然也是因为关心那个人形怎么样了，才跟过来的啊。
Super SASSThat's right. I wonder if the Doll is still in the theater...是啊是啊，不知道那个人形还在不在剧院呢？
Super SASSShe must have only broken into the theater and put herself in such danger for something extremely important...在这么危险的情况下冲进剧院，一定是有很重要的事吧……
Type 97SWhat could be so important that it couldn't wait?能有啥重要的事非要在这时候做啊？
SpitfireMaybe she was trying to save somebody...for example, Miss Passadou...或许是想救出什么人，比如帕萨杜小姐……
Super SASSHuh?!诶？！
MDRIt's a well-known fact that before meeting Mr. Arla, Miss Passadou had always been living on her own. This kind of single women tend to be very strong and independent; they are self-reliant and do not like to rely on other people. So even when Miss Passadou started having problems, she would rather tough it out on her own than trouble Mr. Arla. But Miss Jane Doe was the exact opposite. She was not afraid to confide in Mr. Arla, and she genuinely looked up to him.大家都知道，帕萨杜小姐在遇见阿尔拉先生之前，一直都是独居。 独居的女性往往都坚强自立，什么事都自己做，不会轻易麻烦别人。 就算遇上难以独自面对的问题，也会选择硬扛，尽量不麻烦阿尔拉先生。 而简·冬小姐就是完全不同的类型了，她依赖着阿尔拉先生，并发自内心地仰慕着他。
Live ChatWhy do I have the feeling that Miss Passadou was the kind to rely on others for everything...?我怎么觉得帕萨杜小姐才是喜欢依赖人的那一边……
Live ChatI agree! If you watch the documentary about her, her cooking tips were a load of crap.是啊是啊，看她的纪录片里，她讲的那些做菜心得完全都是胡说八道嘛。
Live ChatShe was also kind of a bitch to Arla when they were being interviewed together!之前和阿尔拉同屏接受采访的时候也是，没怎么给过阿尔拉好脸色看！
MDRAhem, in any case, Mr. Arla was initially very torn between Miss Passadou and Miss Jane Doe. But when Miss Jane Doe physically transformed herself into Miss Passadou, he lost his last shred of reason... If the original Passadou disappeared without a trace, then Miss Jane Doe could take her place... And "Miss Passadou" would keep on being Mr. Arla's loving wife, while the phenomenal voice of "Miss Passadou" would once again bring life to the theater.咳咳，总之，阿尔拉先生在简·冬小姐和帕萨杜小姐之间摇摆不定。 但是在简·冬小姐自愿将自己变成了帕萨杜小姐的样子之后，阿尔拉先生残存的理智被彻底打破了…… 只要让原来的帕萨杜小姐彻底消失，简·冬小姐就可以取代帕萨杜小姐…… “帕萨杜小姐”将继续做阿尔拉先生温柔体贴的妻子，同时剧院中又能再次响起“帕萨杜小姐”的歌声。
Live ChatWhat a heinous plan!这个计划太阴暗了吧！
Live ChatMr. Arla seemed like such an honest man, I can't imagine him doing such a thing!阿尔拉看着挺憨厚的，不像是会做这种事的人啊！
MDRMiss Passadou soon became aware of Mr. Arla and Miss Jane Doe's affair. But she also had a plan of her own...帕萨杜小姐知道了阿尔拉先生和简·冬小姐之间的事。 但是她也有了自己的计划……
A sudden breeze sends MDR's cape fluttering.一阵突如其来的风将MDR的斗篷吹起。
MDRDid somebody say something? SASS? Spitfire? Type 97S?有谁在说话吗？ SASS？ 喷火？ 97式霰？
MDRWait a minute! Where is everybody?!等等！你们人呢？！
SpitfireI'm guessing that the Doll that broke into the theater during the fire was here to rescue Miss Passadou. It could be a Domestic Doll that Miss Passadou and Mr. Arla purchased after they got married.我猜测，这个在火灾期间闯入剧院的人形是来救帕萨杜小姐的。 可能是帕萨杜小姐和阿尔拉先生成婚后购买的家用人形。
Super SASSBut the AH400 came out years ago... They weren't married for that long.可是AH400是很多年前的型号了吧…… 帕萨杜小姐和阿尔拉先生结婚的时间也并不长。
Type 97SMDR was just saying that Miss Passadou had always lived alone...MDR刚刚还说，帕萨杜小姐一直都是独自居住……
MDRMiss Passadou soon became aware of Mr. Arla and Miss Jane Doe's affair. But she also had a plan of her own...帕萨杜小姐知道了阿尔拉先生和简·冬小姐之间的事。 但是她也有了自己的计划……
MDR's livestream is cut off all of a sudden.MDR的直播突然中断。
Spitfire...She got disconnected.……MDR的直播断掉了。
Type 97SWhy does she always leave us hanging?! What was Miss Passadou planning?! Why can't she just get on with it?!怎么老喜欢在最精彩的地方断掉来吊人胃口？！ 帕萨杜小姐到底有啥计划啊？还能不能唠明白了？！
Super SASSPatience, Miss 97S...前辈，别着急……
SpitfireIt might just be bad reception. Let's keep looking.可能是这边信号不好吧，我们先继续找找。
Type 97SThere's nothing here! Just black soot and burnt stuff that looks super creepy...这里啥都没有啊！只有黑黢黢的烧灼痕迹，看着怪可怕的……
Super SASSAll that's left in Miss Passadou's room is an empty wardrobe...连帕萨杜小姐的房间也只剩个空衣柜了……
SpitfireYou're right, there isn't much to be found here. Let's try our luck in the props storage room.确实什么线索都不剩了，我们找找道具收纳的房间吧。
The three Dolls head deeper into the backstage area.三位人形朝着后台深处走去。
A few minutes later, a panicking MDR rushes backstage.几分钟后，MDR惊恐地跑进后台。
MDRSASS! Spitfire! Type 97S! Where are you? Stop hiding, I'm not falling for it...SASS！喷火！97式霰！ 你们在哪里啊？别躲起来吓我了……
No response.没有回应。
MDRDid they disappear one by one while I was busy with the livestream? Then I'll be next... No... C'mon, answer my call!不会是在我刚刚直播的时候，一个一个不见的吧？ 那么下一个就该轮到我了…… 不要啊……快接受我的通讯请求啊！
In the dead silence, someone lets out a sigh.在一片寂静中，有谁叹了口气。
MDRW-who's there?!谁、谁啊？！
MDRType 97S! Are you trying to scare me?! Stop it! Just come out!97式霰！是不是你们躲起来想吓我？！ 别闹了！快出来吧！
MDRD-don't try to run! I'm coming for you!别、别跑！我现在就过来抓你们啊！
Following the sound, MDR charges into the darkness.追寻着声音的源头，MDR冲进了黑暗中。
...In the props storage room. Many of the props that used to be stored here are nowhere to be found. Supply crates donated by Griffin are stacked tidily, though they are now empty.……道具收纳间。 曾经摆放在这里的道具寥寥无几，格里芬捐助的物资箱整齐地摆放在这里，里面的物资也被使用完毕。
Type 97SNothing here either...果然还是一无所获啊……
Super SASSI wouldn't call it nothing. At least we now know that Miss Kalina's charity event was genuine... She said she was collecting donations to help with the renovation works of a nearby theater, and she actually delivered the supplies that we'd donated.也不算一无所获嘛，起码我们现在知道格琳娜小姐开展的慈善活动是真的…… 当初说帮助附近的剧院重建，是真的有把我们捐献的物资送过来诶。
Type 97SThat IS surprising...这倒确实有点出乎意料……
SpitfireBut it would seem that the remains of the Domestic Doll were cleared away after the fire.看来这个家用人形在火灾后就被清理掉了。
Type 97SI hope they treated the body with due respect. It's very admirable for an antique D-Doll to risk her life to save her mistress...希望这个家用人形的主人有好好安置素体。 一个型号古早的家用人形能有这样的勇气救主真的很难得……
Super SASSI hope they fixed her up...希望能修好……
SpitfireSomething's not right.不对劲。
Super SASSWhat is it?怎么了？
Spitfire replays segments of MDR's livestream.Spitfire回顾着MDR的直播录屏。
SpitfireI have a bold speculation regarding the identity of this D-Doll.关于这个家用人形的身份，我有个大胆的猜测。
...In Miss Passadou's room.……帕萨杜小姐的房间中。
MDRCome on out! How long are we gonna keep playing hide-and-seek?你们出来啊！还要继续跟我玩躲猫猫吗？
MDR...I heard you! You're hiding in here, aren't you?……我听见了！你们躲在这里对不对？
MDR flings the wardrobe doors wide open, but it is completely empty.MDR猛地拉开衣柜，但里面什么也没有。
MDRHa, you're pretty good at hiding, I'll give you that! I bet you're behind this wardrobe!啊哈，你们藏得还挺深啊！在这个柜子后面是不是！
MDR gives the wardrobe a strong shove.MDR用力推开了柜子。
A hidden chamber is revealed. Under the dim light, she sees a Doll lying in the corner of the chamber.柜子的后面竟然还隐藏着一个房间。 借着微弱的光线，她看见一个人形躺在角落。
MDRType 97S, is that you? So you're taking a nap here? Where are SASS and Spitfire?97式霰？是你吧！躲在这里睡觉？ SASS和喷火呢？
MDR relaxes. She walks up to the Doll and gives her a shake. The Doll does not respond.MDR放松下来，她来到人形身边，摇晃起了人形。 人形没有回应。
MDRWow, she's sleeping like the dead.不是吧，睡得这么沉？
(Thunderclap) The flash of lightning illuminates the Doll next to MDR.轰隆—— 借着一瞬而过的闪电，MDR看清了身边的人形。
She has a charred and unfamiliar face. Her shattered body is wrapped in rags that used to be a long dress.那是一张被烧毁的陌生的面孔，残破不堪的身躯包裹在所剩无几的肮脏长裙中。
MDRAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH—啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊——
SpitfireI suspect that this D-Doll was the so-called Miss Jane Doe.我怀疑，这个人形就是所谓的简·冬小姐。
Type 97SHuh?! How's that possible? How could a Doll compete for a role against a human actress?!哈啊？！怎么可能？ 人形怎么可能跟人类竞争演员的岗位？！
Super SASSBut this would explain how Miss Jane Doe ended up having Miss Passadou's face...但是这样就能解释得通，为什么简·冬小姐可以获得帕萨杜小姐的脸……
Type 97SBut isn't it illegal for a Doll to have her face constructed in the likeness of a specific human? If I remember correctly, it's a felony...按照某个特定人类的脸来设计人形的样子，这是违法的吧？ 没记错的话，还是很严重的罪……
SpitfireThat's why she couldn't let anyone know what she'd done, except for Miss Passadou and Mr. Arla. This would also explain why nobody at the theater seemed to remember her. Because they had never even met Jane Doe. Or should I say, they didn't know she was Jane Doe when they met her.所以这位简·冬小姐不能被任何人知道，除了帕萨杜小姐和阿尔拉先生。 这也能解释为什么剧院中的所有工作人员都失去了有关简·冬小姐的记忆。 因为他们根本没见过，应该说，他们在看见简·冬小姐的时候根本不知道这是简·冬小姐。
Super SASSBut in that case, Miss Passadou must've known Miss Jane Doe since the beginning...这样的话，帕萨杜小姐应该从一开始就知道简·冬小姐的存在……
Type 97SBecause she planned the whole thing...因为这是她亲手打造出来的……
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH— The stifling air is broken by MDR's horrific scream.啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊—— 沉重的空气被MDR凄厉的尖叫声划破。
Super SASSThat's Miss MDR!是MDR前辈！
Type 97SHas Miss Passadou returned?!帕萨杜小姐又出来了吗？！
SpitfireIt's coming from the other end of the corridor!声音是从走廊那一头传来的！
Super SASSMiss MDR! We're coming!MDR前辈！ 等等我们！
Type 97SMDR!MDR！
Super SASSMiss MDR!MDR前辈！
The three Dolls sprint into the newly-revealed chamber and find MDR huddled in a corner, her face contorted with fear. They follow her gaze and find the remains of a Doll sprawled on the floor.三位人形冲进MDR发现的小屋中，MDR正缩在角落满脸惊恐。 顺着她的视线，人形们发现了躺在地上的人形残骸。
MDR(Whimpers) It-it's a Doll!!!呜啊啊啊——有、有人形！！！
Type 97S...MDR, you're an embarrassment to Griffin!……MDR，你也太丢我们格里芬的脸了吧！
Spitfire approaches the remains and starts inspecting them intently.Spitfire走向人形残骸，开始认真检查起来。
SpitfireA Type-AH400 Domestic Doll. Looks like we've found our Miss Jane Doe.AH400型号的家用人形，看来我们找到简·冬小姐了。
MDRW-what? This Doll is Miss Jane Doe?什、什么？这具人形是简·冬小姐？
Super SASSMiss Spitfire has a working hypothesis that Miss Jane Doe was a Doll that belonged to Miss Passadou. Since Miss Passadou was too ill to perform, she had her Doll illegally modified to perform in her place. But why would Miss Jane Doe be here?喷火前辈猜测简·冬小姐是属于帕萨杜小姐的人形。 因为帕萨杜小姐患病后无法登台演出，就将人形进行非法改造，代替自己演出。 但是为什么简·冬小姐会出现在这里？
SpitfireWhat if it was Miss Jane Doe who was performing on stage on the day of the fire?如果火灾当天，登台表演的就是简·冬小姐呢？
Type 97SGosh, this is getting weirder and weirder!喂喂喂——这样整个事情都不对劲了啊！
MDRThen where was Miss Passadou?! Hold on, this is totally messing with my head...那帕萨杜小姐去哪了？！等等，我的心智好乱……
SpitfireMDR, what exactly happened on the day of the fire?MDR，火灾当天到底发生了什么？
MDRLet me try to think this through. In the most widely-known version of the events, Miss Passadou found out about Mr. Arla and Miss Jane Doe's conspiracy. So she decided to commit suicide in the theater – a place that meant a lot to both her and her husband. During one of her solo numbers, she set the stage ablaze. Seeing that the plan was falling apart, Miss Jane Doe took off immediately. Mr. Arla, on the other hand, suddenly regretted what he had done and tried to rescue Miss Passadou. The audience and the backstage crew all fled the scene, but there was no sign of Miss Passadou or Mr. Arla.我理一理，传闻中的版本是，帕萨杜小姐知晓了阿尔拉先生和简·冬小姐的阴谋。 于是，她决定死在这座对他们意义非凡的剧院中。 在表演自己的部分时，她点燃了舞台。 简·冬小姐见计划生出了变故，立刻离开了剧院，但阿尔拉先生突然反悔，想要拯救帕萨杜小姐。 观众和舞台的工作人员纷纷逃跑，只有帕萨杜小姐和阿尔拉先生迟迟没有出来。
SpitfireStop. Try to substitute Miss Passadou with Miss Jane Doe.停一下，把帕萨杜小姐换成简·冬小姐试试。
MDR...Miss Jane Doe set the stage ablaze while she was performing, and Mr. Arla tried to save her. The audience and the backstage crew all fled the scene, but there was no sign of Miss Jane Doe or Mr. Arla. I mean, this does match the narrative...but what about Miss Passadou?……简·冬小姐在表演中点燃了舞台，阿尔拉先生想要去拯救她。 观众和工作人员纷纷逃跑，只有简·冬小姐和阿尔拉先生没有出来。 这倒是能对应上情况……可是帕萨杜小姐呢？
Type 97S...Are D-Dolls capable of injuring humans?……家用人形有伤害人类的权限吗？
Super SASSI-I don't think so...没、没有的吧……
SpitfireRight now, everything is just pure conjecture. We need to access her neural cloud, then we'll find out what really happened.现在的一切都只是我们的推测。 我们进入她的心智，不就能知道到底发生了什么吗？
MDRBrilliant idea! So guys, all of you who are still watching! We have made some new discoveries regarding an incident that everyone thought was resolved! We stumbled across the remains of a Doll in a hidden chamber within the theater! What was she doing here? Was she the missing Miss Jane Doe? How was she involved in the Passadou incident? Stay tuned! Join us as we venture deep into her neural cloud!这个主意好！ 正在直播间观看的观众朋友们！ 现在，这起已经尘埃落定的事件又有了新的进展！ 我们在剧院的隐蔽角落发现了一具人形的残骸！ 为什么她会在这里？难道她就是失踪已久的简·冬小姐？她和整个帕萨杜事件又有什么样的关联？ 不要走开，让我们一起进入这位小姐的心智吧！

Passadou...I can't sleep. I have an audition at the theater tomorrow. If they don't cast me...……我睡不着。 明天就要去剧院面试了，要是再面不上……
???Hm... Would you like to hear a bedtime story? I made it up myself.唔……那我给您讲个睡前故事怎么样？ 是我自己编的小故事。
PassadouSure, go ahead.好啊，你讲吧。
???Once upon a time, in a kingdom far, far away, an old king finally welcomes his very first child. It is a beautiful little princess. She has the face of an angel. Everyone loves her, dotes on her, and they watch over her carefully. However, this has made a powerful witch jealous, so she places a curse on the princess which will bring misfortune to everyone around her. Unless her parents are willing to forgo their riches and power and live with her in the wilderness for ten years.很久很久以前，在一个遥远的国度，年老的国王终于迎来了他的第一个孩子。 那是一个美丽的小公主，她拥有天使般的容颜，身边的人都小心爱护着她。 但这却引起了神灵的嫉妒，于是神灵对她降下诅咒，围绕在她身边的人都将遭遇不幸。 除非她的双亲愿意放弃荣华富贵，带她前往无人荒地居住十年。
Passadou...What happened then?……然后呢？
???After mulling over his choices for many days, the king decides to give up the little princess. He orders a towering castle to be built in the wilderness. Then he sends his most capable soldiers to escort the princess to the castle, where she will live in isolation. The soldiers guard the castle day and night. Other than delivering her daily necessities, they never speak a word to her.深思熟虑多日之后，国王决定放弃小公主，他在无人荒地上修建了高耸入云的城堡。 然后派遣最精锐的士兵将小公主押送到城堡中独自生活。 士兵们日夜守卫着城堡，除了运送生活必需品外，绝不与小公主多说一个字。
PassadouPoor little princess...这也太可怜了……
???The days pass. As the little princess continues to grow, so does the hatred in her heart. A demon takes advantage of the cracks in her pure soul and takes up residence in her mind. With the demon whispering in her ear, her hatred slithers along the vines on the castle wall all the way to the ground, where it grabs hold of the soldiers' ankles...日子一天天过去，小公主逐渐成长，她心中的怨恨也在不断增长。 纯洁的心灵产生了裂隙，恶魔趁机深入，占据了小公主的内心。 在恶魔的低语下，她的怨恨沿着城墙上的爬山虎，蜿蜒着来到地面，然后死死攫住了士兵的脚后跟……
PassadouShe kills them all?那些士兵都死了吗？
???The princess' resentment slowly transforms the soldiers into minions of the demon. The venerable knights have become 【Demonic Knights】, while their brave and noble horses have turned into 【Demonic Steeds】. But even so, they never forget their one and only mission— Guard the castle and protect the princess.受小公主的怨念影响，精锐的士兵们渐渐也化身为恶魔的爪牙。 身经百战的骑士们化作了【恶魔黑骑】，而忠诚勇猛的战马们化作了【恶灵黑骠】。 即便如此，他们的心中也始终牢记着自己的使命—— 守住城堡，保护公主。
PassadouWhat about the king? Isn't he going to do something about it?国王呢？他没有做点什么吗？
???When the king learns of what has happened, he issues a notice to all the heroes out there. He announces that while the princess is recuperating from an illness in her castle, a demon has taken her hostage. He promises to reward any hero who can slay the demon and save his daughter. Word spread fast, and heroes far and wide eagerly race toward the castle towering in the wilderness...国王得知此事后，为了王室的名誉，他发布了英雄召集令。 声称小公主身染恶疾，在无人荒地的城堡中休养时，不幸遭恶魔囚禁，现重金悬赏勇士前去屠杀恶魔，救回公主。 召集令发布之后，各地的勇士们热血沸腾，纷纷涌向了矗立在荒地中的城堡……
Passadou...How does the story end?……结局呢？
???I have not come up with the ending yet. How do you think the story should end?我还没有想好结局呢，您觉得怎么样的结局比较好？
PassadouIn the end, the heroes kill all the demonic minions. Even the princess, who has turned into a demon herself, dies by a hero's sword. The heroes comb through the wilderness, but the princess is nowhere to be found. They surmise that she has chosen to sacrifice herself in defiance of the demon. The king rewards the hero who slew the demon, and the princess' beauty passes into legend...最后，勇士们杀光了恶魔的爪牙，变成恶魔的小公主也死在了勇士的剑下。 勇士们找遍了荒地，也没有找到小公主。 他们猜测，小公主一定是不愿屈服于恶魔，选择光荣牺牲了。 国王嘉奖了屠杀恶魔的勇士，而有关小公主的美丽传说则永远流传了下去……
???...That might just be the perfect ending.……这也许是个完美的结局呢。

PassadouMy life has barely even started!!! Why must I suffer so?!我的人生明明才刚刚开始！！！ 为什么要这样对我啊？！
PassadouAn invalid like me...will never become a diva! I will be soon forgotten! Then I will shrivel into an old hag and be left to rot in this ward!这样的我……根本不可能成为什么永恒的歌姬！ 过不了多久就会被遗忘！ 就会逐渐老去，然后在病房里腐烂发臭！
???No! I will never let that happen!不会的！我不会让这样的事发生的！

???...Yes, ma'am. "In this mansion at the edge of the world..." "Phantoms sigh when the night is deep." "Stay vigilant, beware of strangers." "They speak of legends about a reflection."……遵命，小姐。 “在世界尽头的这座庄园里” “每到深夜总有幽魂的叹息” “保持畏惧，小心陌生人” “它们中流传着关于倒影的传说”
PassadouDo you think it can be done?你觉得这个人形能改吗？
???No problem, madam. It's quite an old model, but I should be able to upgrade her vocal module to the newest one in the market. The face goes without saying. What could be easier than changing the face of a Doll?没问题的，夫人。 虽然型号有些老，但是搭载最新的声音模块还是没问题的。 脸的话更不用讲了，还有什么比给人形换一张脸更简单的事呢？
???Who is this, ma'am?小姐，这位是？
PassadouAlright, we'll proceed with your plan. Inform me the moment you have all the necessary parts.好，那就照你的方案来。 定制好需要的零件就立刻告诉我。
???Certainly, madam.好的，夫人。
???Ma'am...小姐……
PassadouThis is wonderful... Hahahahaha...太好了……哈哈哈哈哈……
PassadouI was such a fool. Why didn't I think of this earlier? If you wear my face and sing with my voice, people will believe it's me on stage... So long as I keep performing in the theater, I will not be forgotten...我之前真是太傻了，怎么没早想到呢？ 只要你顶着我的脸，用我的声音去歌唱，大家就会以为是我在表演…… 只要我还在剧院中登场，就不会被遗忘……
???Ma'am, I...小姐，我……
PassadouShut up! Just do as I say. If anything goes wrong... You know the consequences.闭嘴！照我说的去做，出了什么岔子的话…… 你知道后果是什么。

ArlaPassadou, what are you do— Oh, you're the Doll. You gave me quite a scare.帕萨杜你怎么—— 哦，是你啊人形，吓我一跳。
???How may I be of service?有什么需要我为您效劳的吗？
ArlaDon't worry about it, I just need a moment to myself. This is the only place where I can have some peace and quiet in the entire house.没事，我只是想一个人在这里静静。 现在整个家中，也只有这里能让我稍稍喘息一下了。
???... Things have not been easy for Miss Passadou... She has to wrestle with both her illness and her inner demons...…… 帕萨杜小姐也很不容易……既要跟病魔斗争，又要跟自己想象中的敌人斗争……
ArlaNobody has it easy! Without her, ticket sales at the box office have plummeted! And I need to put up with her crazy temper when I'm home! Things aren't easy for me either! I wish I also had a shoulder to cry on! ... Has she been taking her meds today?谁容易呢？！剧院少了她，业绩疯狂下滑，我回家还要面对她的暴脾气！ 我也不容易啊！我也想有人能帮我分担下！ …… 今天的药她有好好吃吗？
???Yes, Mr. Arla...吃过了，阿尔拉先生……
ArlaSometimes I think about just leaving everything behind and starting afresh somewhere else. But then I remember that not only is she deathly ill, she has also lost the stage, which was her pride and joy... Otherwise I wouldn't stay and be her punching bag!有时候真想一走了之，换个地方重新开始。 要不是想到她重病在家，还失去了自己引以为傲的舞台…… 我才不会留在这受这些窝囊气！
???Miss Passadou really needs you right now.帕萨杜小姐现在真的很需要您。
ArlaYou think I don't know? I know better than anyone else... If I leave now, she will most probably lose it altogether. She has always been a proud woman—我能不知道吗？我比谁都清楚…… 我要是现在一走了之，她指不定会做出什么偏激的举动。 她这么爱面子的人——
PassadouYou treacherous bastards! What were you two doing behind the closed door?!好啊，你们两个狗男女，躲在这里做什么？！
???Ma'am!小姐！
ArlaPassadou, we...帕萨杜，我们……
PassadouYou whore! You're just a Doll! You've already stolen my career, are you trying to steal my husband as well?!你个贱女人，区区人形而已，偷走我的事业，还想偷走我的爱人？！
???N-no!我、我没有！
PassadouI'm telling you! I would rather have everything I own turn to ash than hand it over to you! You think you can become me simply because you have my face and my voice?! Fat chance! You are nothing but a lowly Doll, a pile of electronic junk slapped together with metal scraps! Passadou is the very symbol of grace and beauty! Her voice is destined to endure for eternity! Her song will echo through time and space, forever and ever!我告诉你！我宁肯把我拥有的一切都践踏成垃圾，也不会拱手让给你！ 你以为你换上我的脸，模仿我的声音，就可以成为我吗？！ 不可能！你不过是个卑贱的人形，一堆废铜烂铁捏成的电子垃圾！ 而帕萨杜，那是高贵美丽的象征，她的歌声注定永恒！ 超越时间，超越地界，永恒地歌唱！
Evanescent Butterfly 蝶影消散
Read this chapter with voices →SpitfireShe has sustained too much damage. These fragmented logs are all that we could find.她的受损太严重了，只能看见一些断断续续的片段。
Super SASSThese logs alone are heartbreaking enough...光是片段已经足够悲伤了……
Type 97SSo it was definitely her performing on stage when the theater burned down, not Miss Passadou...所以，火灾当天在剧院中表演的是她，而不是帕萨杜小姐……
Super SASSIt was also her who was trapped in the fire. Miss Passadou wasn't even in the theater...被困在火场的也是她，帕萨杜小姐根本就不在剧院……
SpitfireThis was a murder.这是一起谋杀。
Type 97SBut there's no proof...没有证据能证明帕萨杜小姐杀了人……
SpitfirePassadou murdered a pure and innocent soul, and the proof is lying right here.她谋杀了一个纯洁的灵魂，证据就躺在我们身边。
Type 97SShe didn't even have a name...她甚至连名字都没有……
SpitfireI certainly didn't expect that a mad and desperate woman was all there is to this tragic legend. The wicked supporting actress, the unfaithful husband – all fabrications to make people see her in a sympathetic light.没想到一层一层剥开这个凄美的传说后，里面只有一个疯狂绝望的女人。 恶毒的女配，负心的丈夫，全部都是被设计好来陪衬她的。
The forsaken Doll is leaning quietly against a stack of boxes. If she weren't covered in massive patches of black scorch marks, she could easily just have been sleeping.废弃的人形静静倚靠在箱子边，如果不是大面积的黑色烧焦痕迹，她看上去就像是进入休眠状态一样。
SpitfireLet's go. There's nothing we can do.走吧，我们什么也做不了。
Type 97SCan't we bring her with us back to Griffin? She could at least keep the Commander company and sing us a song every now and then...不能带回格里芬吗？ 起码能陪指挥官唠唠嗑，唱唱剧……
SpitfireNeural data backups of these Type-AH400 Domestic Dolls are only kept for three months. The server has probably long since deleted her data. Not to mention her neural core is severely damaged... Even if we bring her back to Griffin, we won't be able to revive her.AH400型号的家政人形的心智备份只会保留三个月。 她的资料应该早已被服务器彻底清除了。 更别说她的心智核心也严重受损…… 就算我们把她带回格里芬，也不能让她复活了。
Super SASSBut I think...we could at least clean her up? Make her look pretty again...我觉得……或许我们能给她收拾一下？ 让她像曾经一样美丽……
Type 97SThat's a brilliant idea, SASS!SASS这个主意好！
SpitfireSure. We've already wasted enough time; doesn't hurt to stay a little longer.好吧，反正已经浪费了这么多时间，也不介意再多呆一会了。
The Dolls rummage through the boxes and start restoring the Doll's appearance with what they can find. They cover up her blackened body with a simple long dress and put up her burned hair with shiny accessories. Spitfire then places a white mask on her face. If anyone walked in on them right now, they would never have guessed that beneath the Doll's glamorous façade lies a horrifically marred body.人形们从箱中翻找出装饰，仔细地为她梳妆打扮起来。 简洁的长裙掩盖住了满身黑色的伤痕，璀璨的饰品挽起她烧焦的长发，Spitfire为她戴上了白色的面具。 此刻如果有人走进这间小屋，一定不会想到在这华丽优雅的表象下，隐藏着一具千疮百孔的身体。
SpitfireTime for us to go.我们走吧。
Super SASSYeah... Wait, where is Miss MDR?嗯…… 说起来，MDR前辈呢？
Type 97SProbably ran off to do her stupid livestream.跑哪个旮旯里直播呢吧。
MDRHahahahahahaha! This is huge! Can't believe I uncovered the truth behind this cold case! And it involves such controversial details – Doll abuse, illegal modifications, infringement of the Doll actor ban... Pity that Passadou's popularity has been taking a nose-dive even before this came to light... In any case, let me check in with the livestream... Where is everybody?! Why isn't anyone watching my stream?! Who's this? They're streaming on the same topic?!哈哈哈哈哈哈哈！重磅热点！ 竟然让我发现了一起悬案背后的真相！ 还是这么敏感的热度，虐待人形，非法改造，剧院人形禁令…… 可惜这个帕萨杜人气滑落得太厉害了…… 总之，让我来看看直播间的人—— 人呢？我的直播间怎么没人了？ 谁啊？怎么跟我用了同一个话题直播？！
Discourse in the Rain 雨夜谈
Read this chapter with voices →... Flight. Her mind is consumed by this single thought. She dashes through the busy, filthy streets, her feet stepping into puddles and splashing water everywhere. Meanwhile, the murderous shrieks remain hot on her heels.…… 跑。 大脑里只剩下这唯一一个念头。 狂奔过肮脏吵闹的街道，地上的水洼在脚下四处飞溅，而身后的喊杀声紧追不舍。
???Liar! Kill her!骗子！杀掉她！
???Don't let that shameless whore go!别放过她，这个无耻的女人！
The hysterical howls sound terrifyingly close. Her breath is erratic and her legs feel heavy as lead, but the street seems to stretch on and on.愤怒的嘶吼仿佛就贴在耳边。 急促的喘息，沉重的双腿，街道的尽头却遥不可及。
???Ma'am, this way!小姐，这边！
A hand stretches out from a dark alley and grasps her own tightly. It looks almost exactly like a human hand, but she can immediately tell that it belongs to a Doll. Who are you? Where are you taking me?一双手从黑暗的小巷中伸出，紧紧握住了自己的手。 明明和人类的手相差无几，但她立刻就知道那是一双人形的手。 你是谁？要带我去哪？
???Follow me!快跟我走！
She follows the Doll's instruction and resumes her strenuous run. The view brightens until it becomes dazzling to the eye...跟随人形的指引重新迈开了沉重的脚步。 眼前的光亮越来越耀眼……
...Halloween, in a remote and isolated private sanatorium.……万圣节前夜，与世隔绝的私人疗养院。
Doll CarerMiss Fuduto, are you awake?弗杜托小姐，您醒了吗？
FudutoHm... Did I fall asleep in the middle of reading...?唔……我看书看睡着了吗……
...The silence outside the window is broken by a roar of thunder, followed by the splattering of heavy rain. The Doll carer immediately drops what she is doing and walks over to close the window.……寂静的窗外响起一声惊雷，紧接着就是一场蓄谋已久的大雨。 看护人形立刻停下手里的工作，走到窗边关上了窗户。
Doll CarerIt's really coming down!下了好大的雨！
Heavy rain, just like in her dream. Fuduto is reminded of her troubling nightmare. She recalls the frenzied howls and her murderous pursuer, and her heart sinks.和梦里一样的大雨。 弗杜托又回想起了刚刚的梦境。 那些狂暴的吼声和追杀她的暴徒再次浮现，让她的心头一沉。
Just then, there is a knock on the door.这时，门外突然响起了敲门声。
Doll CarerHello, who are you, if I may ask?请问您是？
TAC-50Sorry for the intrusion. I am TAC-50, a Griffin T-Doll. I just completed a mission and am on my way back to base. My navigation system malfunctioned in the thunderstorm and led me here by mistake, and my power level is running dangerously low... I'm wondering if you would allow me to recharge here; I am very happy to pay, of course!抱歉打扰了，我是格里芬的战术人形TAC50，刚刚完成任务准备返回基地。 没想到遭遇暴风雨误入此地，我的导航出现了问题，而且能源量也有些危险…… 可以的话，请允许我在这里稍作补给，我可以付出相应的报酬！
Doll CarerWhat do you think, Miss Fuduto?弗杜托小姐，您看怎么做比较好？
In her dream, a hand stretched out of the dark alley and clasped her hand. A Doll's hand.梦里，一双手从旁边黑暗的小巷中伸出，紧紧握住了自己的手。 一双人形的手。
FudutoHm? A Doll...? It's pouring out there, so let her in. Everyone deserves a happy Halloween, human or Doll.嗯？是人形么…… 外面还下着这样的大雨，就让它进来吧。 不管是人类还是人形，都值得过一个愉快的万圣。
Doll CarerPlease come in.请进来吧。
TAC-50Thank you, Miss Fuduto.谢谢您，弗杜托小姐。
FudutoYou're very welcome. The charging port is over there. There are some Halloween candy on the table, please help yourself if you like.不客气，充能的接口在那里。 桌上还有些万圣糖果，有喜欢的请自己取用。
TAC-50Sure, thanks again.好的，再次感谢。
Fuduto watches as TAC-50 walks toward the charging port and quietly instructs her Doll carer.看着TAC50背对自己走向充能接口的方向，弗杜托低声叮嘱看护人形。
FudutoKeep an eye on her. When she's charged up, see her off right away.你在这里看着她，等她充能完毕就让她立刻离开。
Doll CarerUnderstood.明白。
Fuduto turns and returns to the other room. She picks up the book that she has just put down.弗杜托转身离开，走进隔壁房间，拿起刚才放下的书册。
TAC-50Um, hello. Is this the port?那个，您好，请问是这个接口吗？
Doll CarerYes, you may use it.是的，你用这个就好。
TAC-50Right, thanks.好的，谢谢。
TAC-50 finds the charging port and plugs herself in.TAC50找到了充能接口，连上自己的能源线。
Charging Notification"In this mansion at the edge of the world..." "Phantoms sigh when the night is deep." "Stay vigilant, beware of strangers." "They speak of legends about a reflection."“在世界尽头的这座庄园里” “每到深夜总有幽魂的叹息” “保持畏惧，小心陌生人” “它们中流传着关于倒影的传说”
Fuduto's hand freezes in the middle of flipping a page at the sound notification.听见声音，弗杜托翻阅书页的手停了下来。
Doll CarerHm? What is with that charging notification?咦？你怎么会有这个声音的？
TAC-50The latest update released by IOP allows charging notification customizations. Everyone back at base is messing around with theirs. Why don't you download the update? You might be able to change yours too.这个充电提示音是IOP最近新发布的版本更新内容，我们基地都在玩。 你要不要更新下版本，说不定也能玩这个。
Doll CarerLet me try!我试试！
The Doll carer plugs herself into the update port with excitement.看护人形兴奋地将自己和更新接口相链接。
Doll CarerHm, it's a shame, but I don't seem to be eligible for this update... Anyway, what's the song that you're using? It sounds really familiar...好遗憾，我果然没有这个更新内容…… 那你的充电提示音是什么啊？好熟悉哦……
TAC-50It's a song from the musical "Butterfly in a Cocoon" that I love very much.是音乐剧《蝴蝶茧》的一首曲子，我非常喜欢。
Doll CarerOh, no wonder! Isn't that the song Miss Fuduto is always play—啊！难怪听着这么耳熟，这不就是弗杜托小姐经常放——
FudutoAhem.咳咳——
Doll CarerUh, never mind.啊，没什么！
TAC-50Well, the rain isn't letting up, is it...?那个，今天雨还真大呢……
Noticing the Doll carer's discomfort, TAC-50 changes the subject politely.注意到看护人形的窘迫，TAC50体贴地转移了话题。
Doll CarerIt was such a cool and dry night, then it just started pouring. The weather has been rather strange lately.明明是个干燥凉爽的夜晚，突然就下起了大雨，最近的天气真的好奇怪。
TAC-50You're right. Who would've thought it would start raining so heavily on my way back...对啊，谁能想到走了一半的路程突然遇到这么大的雨……
Doll CarerSpeaking of which, where is your base? I may know a better route for you to get home.说起来，你要返回的基地大概在哪里呢？我说不定能给你指条近路哦。
TAC-50Hm... I will be making a detour first... To tell you the truth, I was planning to attend a memorial service for my favorite musical actress.嗯……我待会应该先不回基地…… 其实我今晚是准备结束任务后去祭奠我喜欢的音乐剧女演员的。
TAC-50 lifts her dripping cape and reveals a carefully protected bouquet. It's a bunch of red roses in full bloom. The bloody crimson burns vibrantly in the Doll's eyes.浑身湿透的TAC50拉开斗篷，里面赫然是一捧被保护得完好无损的花束。 那是一捧开得正热烈的红玫瑰，鲜艳似血，在人形的眼中灼灼燃烧着。
Doll CarerRed roses? They look wonderful... Wait, do humans use red roses for memorial services?红玫瑰？开得真好啊…… 等等，红玫瑰是用于人类祭奠场合的吗？
TAC-50Not in the usual case, but this musical actress had a very strong predilection for red roses.一般情况下不是，但我喜欢的音乐剧演员非常非常地爱红玫瑰。
Fuduto, who is sitting in the study, flinches at TAC-50's remark, but she does not turn her head.坐在书房中的弗杜托身形一滞，但仍没有回头。
Doll CarerCould this actress happen to be...你要祭奠的音乐剧演员该不会是……
TAC-50Miss Passadou, best known for her performance in "Butterfly in a Cocoon".是帕萨杜小姐，她的代表作就是《蝴蝶茧》。
Doll CarerI knew it. I've heard a lot about Miss Passadou. It's such a pity that I never had the chance to watch her perform live. Everyone said she was an exceptional actress. Both the musical she starred in and her life story were tragically beautiful...果然啊，我也听说过很多有关帕萨杜小姐的事。 可惜没有看过她的现场演出呢，据说是个非常优秀的音乐剧女演员。 不管是戏剧，还是人生，都十分凄美……
TAC-50Indeed. The stage has seen countless musical actors, but only a handful have made their mark in history. It has been a year after Miss Passadou's death, but many people are still talking about her.是啊，音乐剧的演员在舞台上来来往往，但能被世人铭记的寥寥无几。 直到帕萨杜小姐逝世一年后，还有很多人在谈论她。
Doll CarerReally? (Sighs) We are hardly up-to-date with these things living in such a remote place. What do people out there talk about her?真的吗？ 哎，我们住在这种偏僻的地方都不怎么关注这些了，现在外面的人都在议论她什么呀？
Fuduto silently slips over to the doorway of her study, listening intently to TAC-50's reply.弗杜托悄无声息地挪到书房门边，耳朵努力伸向TAC50的那一侧。
TAC-50Hm... How should I put it?呃……该怎么说呢？
Doll CarerIs it so difficult to explain?这么难以启齿吗？
TAC-50Not exactly... It's just... I don't really know where to begin...倒不是难以启齿……只是有些…… 不知道该从何说起……
The Doll carer nods in bemusement. But then she remembers TAC-50's considerate gesture and decides to return the favor by ending this awkward conversation.看护人形似懂非懂地点了点头，然后想起了TAC50方才的贴心举动，她决定也贴心地让这个尴尬的话题结束。
Doll CarerLet's talk about something else. We don't have guests very often, why don't you fill me in on the latest news?那我们聊点别的吧，难得有客人来访，你多分享一些外面的事给我好吗？
TAC-50Sure.好啊。
Fuduto frowns and finally resolves to come out of the study.弗杜托脸色一沉，终于下定决心般地走出了书房。
Doll Carer...Is there anything you need, ma'am?……小姐，有什么需要的吗？
FudutoFor goodness' sake, you see that rain outside? Even a Tactical Doll has to find shelter, God knows how the flowers in the garden will fare.真是的，你看看外面的雨下得这么大，连战术人形都觉得承受不来，不知道院里的花儿们会怎么样呢。
Doll CarerApologies! I'll get them inside right now!抱歉！我这就去把它们抱进屋里来。
The Doll carer rushes out into the downpour.看护人形匆匆跑进了大雨中。
FudutoWhat were you two chattering about? I hope I didn't interrupt anything.你们叽叽喳喳的在聊什么？希望我没有打扰到你们。
TAC-50Not at all, Miss Fuduto. We were just talking about Miss Passadou, a musical actress whom I admire very much...当然没有，弗杜托小姐。 只是说起我个人比较欣赏的那位音乐剧演员帕萨杜小姐……
FudutoOh?哦？
TAC-50Are you also a fan? Um, this might be a bit impertinent... But you look very much like Miss Passadou. Are you perhaps a family relation?您也喜欢她吗？ 那个，这么说有些冒昧…… 不过，弗杜托小姐您长得和帕萨杜小姐真像啊，莫非您和她有亲属关系？
FudutoHahaha, no way! She was a star! You're not the first to note our physical resemblance, but sadly I have neither her grace nor her God-gifted voice.哈哈哈，没有啦！她可是大明星。 很多人都这样说，可惜我没有那样的神采，也没有上帝亲吻过的嗓音。
TAC-50The moment I saw you, I genuinely hoped that you...看见您的那一瞬间，我真希望您是……
FudutoYou must really admire this Passadou... Come, keep me company on this dull, rainy night. It has been a while since we last had guests.看来你是真的很喜欢帕萨杜啊…… 雨夜无事，来陪我聊聊吧，这儿许久都没有来过客人了。
TAC-50I'd love to! I'm always happy to share what I know about Miss Passadou!好啊，我最喜欢和人分享有关帕萨杜小姐的事了！
...In Fuduto's room. The bedroom is furnished as a simple medical ward. TAC-50 can even detect the scent of disinfectant in the air.……弗杜托的房间。 弗杜托的卧室被布置成了简易病房，TAC50甚至能闻到消毒水的味道。
TAC-50Are you ill, Miss Fuduto?弗杜托小姐，您生病了吗？
FudutoIt's nothing serious. The doctor prescribed peace and quiet, that's why I'm here in the middle of nowhere.只是一点小毛病，医生嘱咐我静心调养，所以才会呆在这种杳无人烟的地方。
TAC-50I see...这样啊……
TAC-50 helps Fuduto lie down and carefully props her against her pillows.TAC50搀扶弗杜托躺下，细心地为她垫起枕头。
FudutoThank you.谢谢你。
TAC-50Don't mention it. I'm glad to help.您太客气了，这都是我应该做的。
FudutoSo what were you talking about?你们刚刚聊了些什么？
TAC-50We discussed Miss Passadou's favorite flower, her best-known work... Hm, and that people are still talking about her after her death. ...Do you also enjoy musicals, Miss Fuduto?聊了一些帕萨杜小姐喜欢的花，还有她的成名作…… 唔，自从帕萨杜小姐去世后，大家依然在谈论她。 ……弗杜托小姐也喜欢音乐剧吗？
FudutoYou can say that. I don't remember when I got into the genre, but I have watched "Butterfly in a Cocoon". Your charging notification is an excerpt from one of the songs, isn't it?还算喜欢吧。 忘记是从什么时候开始的了，我看过那部《蝴蝶茧》。 你的充电提示音就是《蝴蝶茧》的片段吧。
TAC-50That's right, I adore "Butterfly in a Cocoon". Miss Passadou was absolutely amazing in the role of the wife. Not only was her singing beautiful, she conveyed all the emotions perfectly in her performance.是的，我非常喜欢《蝴蝶茧》。 帕萨杜小姐在剧中饰演的那位妻子实在太出彩了。 不仅歌唱得动人，每一个情绪起伏都表演得很到位。
FudutoI remember it was incredibly difficult to get tickets to her shows back then. Every single performance was sold out almost immediately.我记得当时《蝴蝶茧》的每一场表演都很难抢到票。 经常是开售即售罄。
TAC-50It was her best work, after all. People have always been mesmerized by Miss Passadou. I believe she will endure in the people's memory even in the future.毕竟是帕萨杜小姐的成名作呢。 不管是过去还是现在，人们一直都在关注帕萨杜小姐。 我相信未来，帕萨杜小姐也不会淡出人类的视野。
FudutoWhat makes you so sure? There hasn't been any news about her for a quite a while now, after all...为什么这么说？她应该很久没有消息了吧，毕竟……
TAC-50Are you aware of the fire at the theater on Halloween last year, during Miss Passadou's farewell show?去年的万圣节前夜，帕萨杜小姐的落幕演出时，那场剧院的火灾，您知道吗？
FudutoI've heard about it.有所耳闻。
TAC-50Due to her poor health, Miss Passadou started performing less and less frequently. Meanwhile, a supporting actress called Jane Doe stood in for her and stole the heart of Mr. Arla – the theater's proprietor and Miss Passadou's husband.帕萨杜小姐，因为身体的关系，渐渐减少了演出的频率。 这时，一名叫简·冬的女配趁此机会替她登台，悄悄抓住了剧院老板兼帕萨杜丈夫的阿尔拉的心。
FudutoYes, that was the talk of the town back then. To completely replace Passadou, this Jane Doe even surgically altered her appearance in Passadou's likeness and plotted her murder.是啊，这件事当时传的沸沸扬扬。 为了彻底取代帕萨杜，这名简·冬甚至整容成了帕萨杜的样子，还计划谋杀帕萨杜。
TAC-50When poor Miss Passadou found out, she decided to give one last performance, then she would die in the theater at her most beautiful moment. Unfortunately, Mr. Arla also died in the fire while trying to save his wife. And Jane Doe was never seen again.可怜的帕萨杜小姐，在得知一切后，毅然决定在落幕演出，也是自己最美的时刻，死在剧院中。 不幸的是，阿尔拉为了救帕萨杜也死在了剧院中，而这位简·冬却就此消失。
FudutoDespicable woman.可恶的女人。
TAC-50However, that was what people believed previously.不过，这是之前大家普遍相信的说法。
FudutoYou mean people now believe differently?听你的意思，最近大家有了新的说法？
TAC-50Yeah... A new version of these events have been circulating recently. But this new account is complete slander against Miss Passadou and it makes me so angry to hear it...嗯…… 最近，不知从哪里流传出了一种新的说法。 可这种说法完全就是在抹黑帕萨杜小姐，我每次听了都很生气……
TAC-50 stares bitterly out the window. The rain leaves delicate streaks of tears on the glass.TAC50哀伤地转头望向窗外，大雨在窗上留下细密的泪痕。
Fuduto...What are they saying?……什么说法？
Fuduto tries desperately to suppress her emotions, her icy fingertips digging deep into her palms.弗杜托拼命压抑住内心的感情，冰冷的手指深深掐入了掌心。
Reminiscence 追忆
Read this chapter with voices →...In Fuduto's collection room, inside the isolated sanatorium.……与世隔绝的私人疗养院中，弗杜托的收藏室。
FudutoNobody will overhear our conversation. You may continue. What exactly are people saying about Passadou?在这里说话外面听不见的，你可以说了，究竟是什么样的说法？
TAC-50Wow...哇——
The room is ornately furnished. The ceiling is decorated in painted frescoes; heavy and luxurious curtains are draped along the windows, their tassels fluttering lightly in the breeze above the marble floor. Several imposing display cabinets stand in a row along the wall, filled with a plethora of custom china dolls and puppets as well as other merchandise related to Passadou. Next to the cabinets is an intricately carved solid-wood wardrobe. TAC-50, utterly mesmerized, opens the wardrobe in a daze.这间房间有种说不出的精致华美，天花板以油画装饰，厚重华丽的窗帷垂落，饰穗随着微风的吹拂轻轻地在大理石地板上舞动。 几个高大的陈列柜靠墙摆放成一列，里面是帕萨杜的全系列定制人偶和其他零碎的周边。 侧面摆放着一个精雕细刻的实木衣柜，TAC50径自拉开了衣柜的门。
FudutoWhat are you doing?!你在干什么？！
TAC-50These are all costumes that Miss Passadou wore in her performances! You actually bought them all!这都是帕萨杜小姐的演出服！您竟然全都买下来了！
The fragrance of roses wafts out from the open wardrobe, which is full of Miss Passadou's costumes, all hung up carefully in transparent protective garment bags. A long, snowy white dress with colorful feathers sewn onto the skirts; an extravagant court dress embroidered with precious gems; a soft and plain work dress of a village peasant girl...从敞开的衣柜中溢出了玫瑰的香气，里面满满的都是帕萨杜小姐的演出服，被套进了透明的保护袋中。 洁白如雪的长裙，裙摆饰有鸟类五彩斑类的羽翼；镶有宝石的奢华复古的宫廷长裙；柔软朴素的乡村小姑娘的工作服……
FudutoEnough! Not even Tactical Dolls have the right to rummage through other people's belongings without permission!够了！就算是战术人形，也该明白未经主人允许不能随便乱翻的吧？！
Fuduto angrily shuts the wardrobe and turns around, only to see TAC-50's face brimming with a mixture of excitement, elation, and distaste.弗杜托愤怒地关上衣柜的门，转身一看，TAC50的脸上交织着兴奋、狂喜、恨意各种复杂的情绪。
TAC-50Sorry, that was incredibly rude of me. I just couldn't contain myself when I first entered this room with traces of Miss Passadou in every corner. You really are an ardent admirer of Miss Passadou.抱歉抱歉，我失态了，我只是看见这充满帕萨杜气息的屋子太激动了，您果然是帕萨杜小姐的骨灰级粉丝啊。
FudutoNow answer my question before my patience runs out.在我耐心耗尽之前，回答我刚才的问题。
TAC-50Right, you wish to know what people have been saying about Miss Passadou lately? My guess is that the industry has been trying to pave the way for new musical actors to make their debuts, but then they figured that Miss Passadou's legacy was stealing too much attention, so they hired a bunch of trolls to drag her name through the mud. You know how fierce the competition is in the entertainment industry...好的，是关于最近的人们怎么议论帕萨杜小姐的事吗？ 我的猜测是这样的，可能是在为新人出道做准备，然后发现同类型的帕萨杜小姐太碍事了，所以专门雇了水军抹黑。 您也知道的，音乐剧演员的竞争是非常激烈残忍的……
FudutoI know, this isn't all that uncommon.我知道，这种事很常见。
TAC-50Miss Passadou was such a legend and had always been very popular. Any actors who want to make a name for themselves would perceive her as an obstacle to overcome. It's also very appalling how apart from the few of us loyal fans, nobody would stand up and defend Miss Passadou after she and her husband passed away.帕萨杜小姐那么优秀，人气也一直很高，有同类型的演员想要红起来自然是免不了要拉踩的。 更可怕的是，帕萨杜小姐与阿尔拉先生双双离世，除了我们这些为数不多的粉丝，根本没有人站出来守护帕萨杜小姐。
Fuduto... Is that why they have been spreading nasty rumors?…… 所以他们放了什么肮脏的消息出来？
TAC-50Jane Doe, who has been trying to replace Miss Passadou, was very meticulous and thorough. Other than Miss Passadou's own diary, she left no traces of her existence. They use this to argue that there was never a Jane Doe to begin with, that it was all fabricated by Miss Passadou...一直想要取代帕萨杜小姐的简·冬小姐手段十分高明，除了帕萨杜小姐的日记，没有任何地方留下过她存在的线索。 他们抓住这一点，说根本没有什么女配简·冬小姐的存在，一切都是帕萨杜小姐凭空想象出来的……
FudutoHaha...呵呵……
TAC-50They even say that Miss Passadou was not the gentle and refined lady that she was reputed to be, but a vain and selfish woman. After she married Mr. Arla, she started tormenting him in all sorts of ways, making his life a living hell. Then because of her illness and inability to take the stage, she knew that she would soon lose her worth, so she painted this dazzling image of herself, then destroyed everything...他们还说，帕萨杜小姐根本不是传说中的那么温柔端庄，不过是个虚荣自私的女人而已。 成功嫁给阿尔拉先生之后，帕萨杜小姐就开始百般虐待折磨他，让他苦不堪言。 后来因为生病了，无法登台，眼看自己即将失去价值，帕萨杜小姐就决定编造出一个美丽的传说抬高自己的形象，然后毁掉这一切……
FudutoHahaha, how absurd! This is absolutely ludicrous! How could anyone believe such a nonsensical story?!哈哈哈，太荒诞了，简直是荒唐可笑！ 就这个漏洞百出的说法，还有人相信？
TAC-50That's exactly what I think! Miss Passadou couldn't have been such a villain! I've tried to point out that these were just baseless rumors, but I have no conclusive evidence to prove them wrong, and people are always eager to believe preposterous things...我也是这样想的！帕萨杜小姐绝对不是那样的人！ 我到处澄清谣言，可我没有关键性的证据，而且人类往往更愿意相信那些荒诞可笑的事……
Fuduto starts pacing restlessly around the room.弗杜托开始焦灼地在屋中走来走去。
TAC-50Miss Fuduto? Please don't be mad... I know we are all that Miss Passadou has left, but we WILL think of a way to clear her name.弗杜托小姐？您别生气…… 虽然帕萨杜小姐已经什么都没有，只剩我们了，但我们一定会想出办法的。
Fuduto...Where did you see these rumors? Let me read them.……你在哪里看见的这些谣言？让我看看吧。
TAC-50Alright, one second.好的，稍等。
TAC-50 brings up the online forum that she frequents.TAC50打开了自己常去的论坛页面。
TAC-50...Are you sure you want to read them? Some of the posts are pretty outrageous...……您确定要看吗？ 有很多帖子的内容都非常过分……
FudutoShow me.给我。
Fuduto tears the tablet out of TAC-50's hands and starts poring over the forum posts.弗杜托强硬地从TAC50手中抢过通讯器，认真浏览起来。
Forum Homepage"BREAKING NEWS! The truth behind the theater fire a year ago rediscovered..." "Angel or Demon? Delving Deep into Passadou's Psyche..." "Passadou, who vengefully burned down the theater due to her husband's extramarital affair, might have been schizophrenic?!" "Revelation of the Passadou Incident – How to spot a woman with two faces?"“震撼！一年前的剧院火灾的真相竟然有了反转……” “她到底是天使还是魔鬼？让我们一起走近帕萨杜的内心……” “因为小三插足而怒烧剧院的帕萨杜疑似患有精神分裂？！” “帕萨杜事件启示：如何分辨出女人的另一幅面孔？”
Fuduto scrolls through all the posts wordlessly, her veins throbbing on her forehead.弗杜托沉默地翻看着各个论坛的帖子，额头的青筋隐隐凸起。
TAC-50I've been posting information about Miss Passadou on many forums, trying to prove what kind of person she really was. But there is nothing I can do when it comes to Miss Jane Doe...这些日子，我一直在各个论坛发帖，附上帕萨杜小姐的各种资料，想要让大家了解到帕萨杜小姐到底是怎么样的人。 可一旦涉及到简·冬小姐的事，我就无能为力了……
TAC-50Today is the anniversary for Miss Passadou's death, the fan club was going to organize a memorial service. But because of these rumors, a lot of the fans have withdrawn their membership, and the event fell through.今天是帕萨杜小姐逝世一周年的纪念日，我们粉丝后援会本来还打算组织纪念活动。 但是因为这个谣言的冲击，很多粉丝都退出了后援会，活动计划也泡汤了。
FudutoThose who forsake Passadou so easily don't deserve to be called fans.这么轻易就放弃帕萨杜的人也不配被称作粉丝。
TAC-50True, these rumors are a touchstone that separates the true fans from the false ones. But there's also no denying that they have dealt a huge blow to the fan club, and we grow even more feeble in our support for Miss Passadou... If only we can find some kind of conclusive evidence that can completely debunk these slanders...确实，这个谣言也是真假粉丝的试金石。 但不能否认，我们后援会因为这个谣言损失巨大，能继续站出来为帕萨杜小姐战斗的力量更加微薄了…… 要是能找到一些关键性的证据，舆论的风向一定能被扭转。
TAC-50 suddenly beholds Fuduto with an intense gaze.TAC50突然目光灼灼地盯着弗杜托的眼睛。
TAC-50Miss Fuduto, you must have some notable connections to be able to collect so many of Miss Passadou's personal possessions. Surely you can help us salvage Miss Passadou's reputation?弗杜托小姐，您能收集到这么多外人根本无从知晓的东西，一定是拥有相当丰富的资源和渠道吧？ 您一定能帮我们，救救帕萨杜小姐的，对吗？
FudutoLet me think...让我想想……
With her brow deeply furrowed, Fuduto debates with herself in silence. TAC-50 waits quietly.弗杜托紧蹙眉头，内心在进行激烈的交战。 TAC50静静地等待着。
FudutoSorry, I'm just a private collector; I don't really have any evidence that can help you, but I have some friends working in theater. Maybe they—抱歉，我只是个私人收藏家，没有什么有力证据能帮到你，但我还有些朋友在剧院，或许——
TAC-50It's no use. I've tried everything.没用的。 能试过的方法我都试过了。
Fuduto... Then just bribe—…… 那就去买通——
TAC-50 flings open the wardrobe doors.TAC50猛地拉开了衣柜。
TAC-50A few days ago, I watched a performance given by a new actress.前几天，我去看了这位新人的演出。
TAC-50 points toward the long white dress inside the wardrobe.TAC50的手指向柜中一袭洁白的长裙。
TAC-50She was wearing a dress that looked exactly like this one and copying Miss Passadou's singing technique. The audience was completely captivated by her voice, as if they'd forgotten all about Miss Passadou.她穿着和帕萨杜小姐一模一样的长裙，模仿着帕萨杜小姐的唱腔。 台下的观众像是忘记了帕萨杜小姐，如痴如醉地沉浸在她的歌声里。‘
TAC-50I was the only one who was livid. Only I remembered Miss Passadou's spectacular performance... If we keep letting people sully her legacy, very soon nobody will remember her at all... She will be just like these lovely dresses – left to rot away in a dark and silent closet. Even if you refresh the rose sachet every day, there is no covering up the smell of decay that permeates the very fibers of the costumes.只有我愤怒不已，怀念着帕萨杜小姐的表演…… 如果再继续任人践踏，很快将再没有人记得帕萨杜小姐…… 她将像这些美丽的裙子，深埋在衣柜中，在沉默中腐朽凋零。 就算是每日更换香料，也无法掩盖这股由内而外散发出的陈腐味。
Fuduto's clenches her fists tightly around the hem of her shirt as she struggles to suppress her boiling fury.弗杜托的手死死揪着衣服，像是在压抑即将喷薄而出的愤怒。
TAC-50If you're okay with that, I'll say no more. I understand that not everyone will bother to fight to the bitter end for a loved one who's dead. After all, the dead is dead, while the living have to get on with their lives. But sadly, as a Doll, I've been programmed to "persist in carrying out an objective". That's why I will keep fighting to protect Miss Passadou's legacy until the day I cease to function.如果您觉得无所谓，那么就当我多话了。 我能理解，不是每个人都会为已经逝去的所爱之人奋战到底，毕竟斯人已逝，生者还要继续生活。 但可惜，身为人形，我多了条“不会轻易放弃”的出厂设定。 所以我会一直守护她，直到我停止运营的那一天。
Fuduto stares at TAC-50, speechless.弗杜托怔怔地望着TAC50。
FudutoHold on.等等。
She bends down and drags out a small box from beneath the wardrobe. Then she opens it with a key that she keeps on her person...弗杜托从柜子下方，费力地取出了一个小盒子。 然后用随身携带的钥匙打开……
TAC-50What's in there?这里面是什么？
FudutoA private photograph of Passadou. I paid a great sum to acquire it.这是帕萨杜的一张私人照片，我花了大价钱才拿到手的。
TAC-50 takes the photo gingerly. The image shows Passadou and Arla snuggled up against each other, their smiles tender and sweet. Standing next to Passadou is an unfamiliar woman with a bashful smile. TAC-50 studies her face silently for a while.TAC50小心翼翼地接过照片。 照片上帕萨杜和阿尔拉依偎在一起，笑容甜蜜。 一个陌生的女人站在帕萨杜的身边，脸上挂着腼腆的笑容。 TAC50盯着陌生女人的脸许久未说话。
FudutoThat woman in the photo is Jane Doe.照片上的这个女人就是简·冬。
TAC-50Miss Jane Doe allegedly had her appearance surgically altered in Miss Passadou's likeness. So this was her original appearance?传闻中，简·冬小姐为了能取代帕萨杜小姐，不惜整容成了帕萨杜小姐的样子。 照片里，就是简·冬小姐的原貌吗？
FudutoThat's right.没错。
TAC-50But how can you prove this woman is Miss Jane Doe?可是，如何才能证明照片上的女士就是简·冬小姐呢？
TAC-50Let me rephrase that question – how do you know this woman is Miss Jane Doe? After all, apart from Miss Passadou's diary, there was no record of this woman whatsoever.不如我换个说法，您是如何知道这位女士就是简·冬小姐的呢？ 毕竟除了帕萨杜小姐的日记，简·冬小姐没有留下任何的痕迹。
FudutoI know, because I am Jane Doe.因为我就是简·冬。
Jane Doe?Don't look at me like that, Doll. I never intended to murder Passadou. I just... I just envied her so much I wanted to become her. But I failed. Passadou pronounced my utter failure with her death.别用这样的眼神看着我，人形。 我从来没有计划过杀害帕萨杜，我只是…… 我只是太羡慕她了，羡慕到想要成为她。 可惜我失败了，帕萨杜用她的死宣告了我彻头彻尾的失败。
Jane Doe?I've noticed. You've been scrutinizing my face because you've spotted the tell-tale surgical scars. There's no hiding even the tiniest detail from you damnable Dolls. I should never have let you in. You've suspected me right from the start, haven't you? A woman who lives in seclusion, who highly resembles Passadou and even possesses so many of her belongings... I might as well have written my name on my forehead!我知道，你一直盯着我的脸看，因为你发现了手术的痕迹。 无论多微小的痕迹都瞒不过你们这些该死的人形。 我就不该心软让你进门，从一开始你就在怀疑我对不对？ 隐居在荒无人烟的郊区，长相跟帕萨杜高度相似，还拥有这么多帕萨杜的东西…… 真是快把真相按在脸上了！
TAC-50Why are you suddenly...您为什么突然……
Jane Doe?Because you're absolutely right. I cannot just stand by and let these fools ruin Passadou's good name. Even if it means exposing myself. I've spent years trying to become Passadou. She is practically my alter ego at this point.因为你说得对，我没办法眼睁睁看着这些愚蠢的人类毁掉帕萨杜的名誉。 哪怕这需要暴露我自己。 我用了几年时间来成为帕萨杜，对我来说，帕萨杜就是另一个自我。
TAC-50What about Mr. Arla? Was he part of your plan of becoming Miss Passadou?那阿尔拉先生呢？也是您成为帕萨杜小姐的计划中的一环吗？
Jane Doe?... I made a mistake that all women are susceptible to making – I fell in love with a man whom I shouldn't. But I swear, I never even dreamed of killing Passadou. For her, I am willing to come forward and prove my existence.…… 我只是犯了全天下每个女人都会犯的错，爱上一个不该爱上的男人。 但我从来没有对帕萨杜动过一丝杀心。 为了帕萨杜，我可以站出来，证明自己的存在。
TAC-50But in exchange?但作为交换？
Jane Doe?You must not reveal my whereabouts. I have already paid for my sins and lost everything. Right now, I only wish to live out the rest of my life in peace.你不能暴露我的所在地等信息。 我已经为我的罪过付出了代价，也失去了一切，现在只想平静地度过此生。
Jane Doe?Well? Is this deal not good enough for you?怎么样？这个交易还不够诱人吗？
TAC-50Such wonderful rhetoric. Such a subtle shift in emotion. You really are a brilliant actress. You got into character with a snap of the fingers, and you articulated her emotions to the point of perfection.漂亮的话术，情绪的转变也很细腻。 不愧是您，立刻进入角色，并将角色应有的感情表演得淋漓尽致。
Jane Doe?What do you mean?你什么意思？
TAC-50 slowly walks up to the woman.TAC50缓缓走到她的面前。
TAC-50I knew from the moment I walked through the door. You are neither Miss Fuduto nor Miss Jane Doe. You are Miss Passadou herself.我一进门就知道您是谁了，您既不是弗杜托小姐，也不是简·冬小姐。 您，就是帕萨杜小姐。
(Thunder) The pale lightning shines a brief spotlight on the two troubled faces.轰隆—— 苍白的闪电照亮了她脸上的不安，也照亮了TAC50眼底的阴霾。
Trackless Tears 无痕之泪
Read this chapter with voices →...In Passadou's sanatorium.……帕萨杜的疗养院。
TAC-50A whole year has passed since Halloween. I've been searching high and low for you.距离去年的万圣节，已经过去了整整一年了。 这一年，我找您找得好辛苦啊。
TAC-50Your illness is incurable, but you seem to be doing pretty well at the moment. Looks like the country air has done you well.虽然您的病是不治之症，但您现在看上去身体还不错，看来远离人烟的调养还是很有效果的。
PassadouWhat are you getting at?你到底想说什么？
TAC-50You have Lou Gehrig's disease, don't you?是卢伽雷病，对吧？
Passadou blanches immediately and her eyes harden.帕萨杜的脸色瞬间苍白了起来，她的眼神中出现了凶狠的情绪。
PassadouThat's none of your business.这跟你没有关系。
TAC-50A disease that humans can't cure. The patient can only watch as their own muscles gradually waste away; they may even start having difficulties breathing... Such an illness is certainly fatal to a musical actress' career.人类无法治愈的疾病，只能看着自己的肌肉逐渐萎缩，呼吸越来越困难…… 患上这种病，对一个音乐剧演员来说真是够致命的。
PassadouI would like you to leave at once! I have nothing more to say to you.请你离开！我跟你已经无话可说。
TAC-50Miss Passadou, I believe we are both suffering from the same affliction.帕萨杜小姐，其实我们应该算是同病相怜。
PassadouWhat, Dolls can also get ALS? You must be joking!人形也会患上渐冻症？开什么玩笑啊！
TAC-50No, what I mean is that we have both lost someone very dear to us in that fire.不，我是指在那场火灾中，我们都失去了挚爱的对象。
PassadouWhat do you mean?什么意思？
TAC-50You lost your beloved husband.您在火灾中失去了心爱的丈夫。
TAC-50A very dear friend of mine also died in the fire.而我有一个重要的朋友，她死在了那场火灾中。
PassadouThere was only one casualty in that fire. I don't know who your friend...那场火灾的伤亡人数明明只有一个，我不知道你的朋友是……
TAC-50 watches coldly as dread fills Passadou.TAC50冷冷地看着惊恐在帕萨杜的脸上蔓延开来。
TAC-50Have you really forgotten, or are you simply too afraid to remember?您是忘记了，还是害怕回想起来？
Passadou...I don't know what you're talking about.……我不知道你在说什么。
TAC-50That's alright, I'll explain it all to you.没关系，我会慢慢讲给您听的。
Passadou opens the window. She cannot find her Doll carer through the sheets of rain outside.帕萨杜推开了窗户，透过密集的雨幕，她没有找到看护人形的身影。
Passadou...Where is my Doll?……看护我的人形呢？
TAC-50It's Halloween. Everyone deserves a proper holiday, even Dolls. Isn't that what you said?今天可是万圣节，不管是人类还是人形，都有权利好好享受自己的假期。 这不是您说的吗？
The Doll carer, who is in forced shutdown, is standing motionlessly at the door, a pot of drenched flowers in her arms.被强制休眠的看护人形沉默地站在疗养院的门口一动不动，她的怀中抱着湿漉漉的花盆。
TAC-50Then I shall begin my story. Let's start with my Doll friend. She was an ordinary Type-AH400 Domestic Doll, a pretty obsolete model by today's standards. A few years ago, I met her on my way back to base after I completed a mission. AH400 was very endearing. She worshiped her mistress; she couldn't go two sentences without bringing her up.那么，我的故事要开始了。 故事的开头要从我的一位人形朋友说起。 她是位普通的家政人形，型号AH400，现在看来是有些落后的型号了。 几年前，我在一次任务结束返回基地的时候认识了她。 AH400是个很可爱的家伙，非常崇拜自己的主人，每次聊天十句有八句都在聊自己的主人。
TAC-50Coincidentally, AH400's mistress was a musical actress.巧合的是，AH400的主人也是位音乐剧女演员。
...Several years ago, on a busy street.……几年前，热闹的街道。
TAC-50...Then I commanded Maple Moon to swipe the key, and the guy didn't even notice!……然后我就命令枫月朝悄悄拿走了钥匙，这家伙根本没有察觉！
AH400Hahahahaha... Your missions are always so exhilarating! They're certainly a lot more exciting than doing household chores every day like me...哈哈哈哈哈…… 你的任务都好刺激哦！ 比我每天洗衣做饭什么的刺激多了……
TAC-50But you're also amazing! You can make such delicious meals without using any maple syrup!可是你也很厉害啊！不用枫糖浆就能做出这么多好吃的！
AH400It's not that big of a deal... It's just a small dessert...没有啦……只是些小甜品嘛……
TAC-50Your fruit tarts are as tasty as ever! ♪ If they start selling these in the cafeteria back at Griffin, I doubt I'd even get to clap eyes on them before they're all sold out.今天的水果挞也很好吃♪ 这东西要是进了格里芬的食堂，我怕是连看见它的机会都没有。
AH400Heheh, my mistress loves them too! I make them whenever she is in a bad mood, though her sugar intake has to be strictly monitored! Uh, speaking of which, what is it like at Griffin?嘿嘿，我家小姐也很喜欢吃！ 她心情不好的时候，我就会做给她吃，不过要严格控制糖分！ 诶，说起来，格里芬到底是什么样的地方啊？
TAC-50Hm... It's like a congregation of weird Dolls, I guess? We work under the Commander's command when there are operations, but we're free to do our own stuff when we're off duty. The pay is pretty decent, room and board are included, and we sometimes get to go on vacations that are paid for by the company.唔……就是一群奇奇怪怪的人形聚集地吧？ 有任务的时候，大家就在指挥官的安排下做事，没任务的时候，就开开心心做自己的事。 待遇的话，薪水还不错啦，然后包吃包住，运气好的话还能赶上公费度假。
AH400Wow, sounds like Eden for Dolls.哇，听上去像是人形的伊甸园啊。
TAC-50Eden? Now that you mention it, it does seem like paradise, haha...伊甸园？这么一说还真挺像啊哈哈……
AH400And what is your master like?那你们的主人是什么样的人啊？
TAC-50Master? We never address them as such. It's just "Commander" for us. Some of the Dolls also call the Commander "Darling", "Honey", or even "Little Lamb"... I can never bring myself to do that...主人？我们不这么称呼，一般都是叫指挥官或者长官。 也有些其他的称呼啦，什么Darling啊，Honey啊，小羊羔啊…… 反正我是叫不出口啦……
AH400Sounds like you all have a very close bond with your Commander...听上去你们和指挥官的关系很亲密呢……
TAC-50What about you? Are you not close with your mistress?那你呢？和你家小姐难道关系不好？
AH400You're mistaken! My mistress is the most talented musical actress in the world! She is one of a kind! Her voice is so divine it can drive people to tears!才没有！我家小姐是世界上最具才华的音乐剧女演员！ 没有之一！她的嗓音美得能让路人都落泪！
AH400I absolutely adore her! I feel incredibly happy just seeing her sleeping face when I wake her every morning!我好崇拜她啊！每天早上叫醒她的时候，看见她的睡颜就觉得很幸福！
TAC-50...Wow, I'd like to see that.……哇哦，真想见识一下呢。
AH400Sadly I cannot invite you in... My mistress does not like it when I talk to other Dolls... Actually, I never told her I have made a very cool friend. But you will see her soon enough! My mistress is set to perform at the theater next month!可惜不能带你去家里……我家小姐不喜欢我跟其他人形说话…… 其实我都没敢跟她说认识了很酷的新朋友呢。 不过，很快你就能见到她了！ 下个月，我家小姐就要去那家剧院表演了！
TAC-50Congratulations! I'll be there!恭喜恭喜！我到时候一定会去看的！
AH400Okay!嗯！
TAC-50And so I attended the performance.后来，那场表演我去了。
TAC-50"Phantom of the Opera". AH400's mistress only played a background role in her very first show; I didn't take much notice of her. But AH400, who was sitting next to me, was so over the moon she almost dislocated my shoulder.《歌剧魅影》，AH400主人的第一场演出，只是一个普通的群演，我压根没注意到她的存在。 但是坐在我边上的AH400，高兴得快把我的胳膊卸下来。
TAC-50A while later, I heard that AH400's mistress had finally landed a leading role. I was also very happy for her, but strangely enough, I soon lost contact with AH400.过了一阵，听说AH400的主人终于成为了主演，可以担当重要的角色了。 我也挺开心，可奇怪的是，不久之后我就再也联系不上AH400了。
PassadouWhat does any of this have to do with me?你说的这些跟我有什么关系？
TAC-50Relax, I'm just telling you my story. One of my biggest shortcomings is that I can be extremely stubborn. So I kept on searching for AH400 for a very long time, until one night, I passed by the theater. I saw AH400's mistress talking to her husband. At the same time, an identical woman left the theater through the backstage exit. Her clothes made it obvious that she was the actress who just finished performing for the evening.不要紧张，我只是在跟您分享我的故事。 我这个人形有个不好的地方，就是有的时候会特别倔强。 所以，我找了AH400很久，直到有一天晚上，我经过剧院附近。 我看见AH400的主人正在和她丈夫聊天，而与此同时，剧院的后门走出一个和AH400主人长得一模一样的女人，看她的装束身形，显然是刚演出完毕的女演员。
...By the theater back exit, after the performance.……演出结束后，剧院后门。
TAC-50... That woman looks exactly like AH400's mistress, who I clearly remember has no sisters... So who is she? Why has AH400 gone missing? In order to get some answers, I started waiting for the right moment to approach this woman.…… 那个女人长得和AH400主人一模一样，但是我记得她并没有姐妹…… 所以这个人是谁？AH400为什么会失踪？ 想解答这些问题，我开始等待时机接近这个女人。
A few days later, the theater backstage door opens again at the same time. A woman wearing a black hooded cape exits the building furtively.许久，剧院的后门终于开了。 一个身披黑色斗篷的女人鬼鬼祟祟地走了出来。
???Phew... Finally, some fresh air.呼……可以出来透透气……
TAC-50Who are you?你是谁？
???Oh my—啊——
The woman bolts in panic, but TAC-50 catches her firmly in a chokehold. She drags her into a dark alley.女人慌张地想要逃跑，却被TAC50死死钳住。 TAC50将她拽进黑暗的小巷。
TAC-50Tell me, who are you? Why are you impersonating Miss Passadou?告诉我，你是谁？ 为什么要冒充帕萨杜小姐？
???W-what are you talking about? I do not understand...你、你在说什么？我听不懂……
TAC-50...Playing dumb, are we?……装傻吗？
TAC-50 tightens her grip. Then she notices something odd about her hostage.TAC50的手上用力了几分，这时，她突然注意到了异样。
TAC-50... You're not human. You're a Doll?…… 你不是人类，你是人形？
TAC-50...AH400?!……AH400？！
TAC-50 tries to take off her mask, but the Doll struggles violently.TAC50想要摘下她的面具，却遭到了激烈的反抗。
AH400No! Don't take off my mask!不要！不要摘下我的面具！
TAC-50Why? What on earth is going on? What happened to your face? And why do you sound all weird?为什么？到底发生了什么？ 你的脸怎么了，声音怎么也怪怪的？
AH400... I lost my original face and voice... I do not want you to see me like this. Just remember me the way I was...…… 我失去了我的样子和声音…… 我不想让你看见现在的我，记住原来的我就好……
TAC-50Is this your mistress' doing? Why? Isn't it illegal to construct a Doll's face in a human's likeness?你家主人做的吗？为什么？ 私自将人形的面容改造得和人类一致，这是违法的吧？
AH400Hush! Not so loud! It could not be helped. There really was no other way. I had to do this for the sake of my mistress' career.嘘——小声点！ 这也是迫于无奈，实在没有办法了，为了我家小姐的事业，只能这样做。
TAC-50But why?!可是为什么？！
AH400Stop questioning me! I can say no more...别问了！我不能再说下去……
TAC-50... I see.…… 我知道了。
AH400TAC-50...TAC50……
TAC-50What?怎么了？
AH400Even though I have changed...就算我变成这样……
AH400We are still friends, right...?我们也还是朋友，对吗……
TAC-50Of course. We'll be friends forever.当然啊，我们永远都是朋友。
Passadou...She had a Doll sing in her place? That's inconceivable. How preposterous.……利用人形来替自己假唱？ 真是闻所未闻，太荒诞可笑了。
TAC-50You're right. Miss Passadou really is quite baffling, isn't she?是啊，帕萨杜小姐一定很难理解吧。
PassadouSo what has this got to do with me? I just want you to finish your tale and make yourself scarce.跟我有什么关系？ 我只希望你快点讲完，然后消失。
TAC-50Alright, I'll pick up the pace then. Some time had passed, then one day, AH400 told me cheerfully... That her mistress had decided to leave this perverse life behind and go live out the rest of her life quietly. AH400 just had to perform one last time and she could regain her own identity. I knew I would miss her dearly, but this was certainly for the best, so I was happy for her. Her final performance just so happened to be on Halloween last year. The very same day the theater burned down.那么我加快速度吧。 过了一段时间后，AH400很开心地告诉我。 她家小姐决定放弃这种畸形的生活，回到老家悠闲度日了。 AH400只需要再完成最后一场表演，就可以做回自己了。 虽然很舍不得她离开，但这对AH400来说确实是好事，所以我也很替她开心。 巧合的是，最后一场演出的时间刚好是去年的今天。 也就是剧院发生火灾的那天。
Passadou's icy fingertips dig painfully into her palms.听见这句话，帕萨杜冰冷的手指深深掐进了掌心。
Breaking the Cocoon 破茧时分
Read this chapter with voices →...At the full-house theater, on the day of the performance.……演出当天，人满为患的剧院。
AH400"Here I stand before you..." "Only when I gaze upon your visage..." "Does it dawn on me..." "That my insipid words do you no justice."“当我站在你面前” “望向你的一瞬间” “我却讶异地发现” “语言竟是如此苍白”
TAC-50 knew that this was the very last time she would ever see AH400 on stage. For some reason, the thought brought a lump to her throat.TAC50知道，这是最后一次看AH400的表演。 不知为何，她的心中涌起一股悲伤。
AH400"Time crawls by..." "The rift between us grows ever wider." "When we finally notice, we've passed the point of no return."“在不起眼的时间罅隙” “我们之间的裂痕不断加深” “等到察觉之时已经无法挽回”
Member of the Audience 1Miss Passadou's performance is still positively soul-stirring...帕萨杜小姐的演出真是一如既往地感人啊……
Member of the Audience 2Indeed. Shame that she's retiring.对啊对啊，可惜就要引退了。
It took TAC-50 all of her self-control to stop herself from jumping to her feet and declaring loudly that it was her best friend AH400 singing on the stage.TAC50极力压抑着内心的冲动，她想要站起来大声告诉所有人，正在台上歌唱的是她的好朋友AH400。
AH400"Pile on the lies, like glue holding broken pieces together." "When the cracks reappear, cover them with new lies." "But the distance between us grows ever more." "Now you are beyond my reach."“把谎言当做弥补裂痕的胶水” “等到胶痕裂开，再编织新的谎言” “我们之间的距离却越来越远” “我再也无法追赶上你的背影”
AH400's singing had the entire audience enthralled. Then TAC-50 suddenly noticed a waft of black smoke billowing behind AH400.所有观众陶醉在AH400的歌声中。 TAC50突然注意到，AH400的背后燃起了几缕黑烟。
Member of the Audience 1Hm? What's that smell?哎，什么味儿啊？
Member of the Audience 2Is something burning?什么东西糊了？
AH400"When you finally stop and look back at me..." "So broken I am, I cannot carry on."“等到你愿意停下脚步回头看向我” “我早已伤痕累累不堪重负”
In an instant, the carpet caught fire, and the flame traveled rapidly up the curtains.猛然间，火舌沿着厚重的帷幕和地毯，一路顺势而上。
The audience erupted into panic, and in a stampede, everyone tried desperately to flee the building.观众们惊声四起，朝着剧院外惊惶逃窜起来。
AudienceRun! Fire!快跑啊！着火了！
TAC-50AH400!AH400！
TAC-50 shoved her way through the frenzied crowd, heading straight for the stage in the opposite direction. AH400 continued to sing with tears in her eyes, seemingly oblivious to the danger she was in.TAC50挤开乱作一团的人群，逆流向舞台冲去。 AH400眼含泪光，继续歌唱，像是没有察觉到身边的危险一样。
TAC-50AH400, run!AH400！跑啊，快跑！
AH400... Ma'am...…… 小姐……
Passadou stumbled out from the wing and onto the stage. Unlike the stereotypical villain reveling in their success, Passadou looked bleak and sullen. Her eyes were puffy with tears and there was an unhealthy flush to her sallow cheeks.帕萨杜摇摇晃晃地从舞台后走出。 不同于音乐剧中阴谋得逞的反派，此刻的帕萨杜落魄消沉，眼睛哭得红肿，苍白的脸上泛起病态的红晕。
PassadouDoll, did you enjoy your performance tonight?人形，今晚的演出开心吗？
AH400Ma'am... Is there anything I can do for you?小姐……有什么能为您做的吗？
PassadouCertainly. You can die for me, Doll.当然有，为我去死吧，人形。
AH400... Why...why do you hate me so?…… 为什么……为什么这么恨我？
PassadouBecause you seek to supplant me.因为你想要取代我。
AH400I do not! I swear that has never been my intention! I have only been following your instructions; I did not deviate from the plan at all! Is this not what you wished for? For "Passadou" to keep singing! So that when you finally recover, you can take the stage once more...我没有！我发誓我从来没有这样想过！ 我所做的一切都是完全按照您的嘱咐，没有一丁点的改变！ 这不就是您所希望的吗？让“帕萨杜”继续歌唱下去！ 直到您的身体有转机了，您再继续登台歌唱……
PassadouEnough with the nonsense! You and I both know there is no hope for my recovery.别说这些假话了，你我都知道，我的病无药可救。
AH400How could you say that? It would make Mr. Arla very upset if he had heard you... He has been consulting doctors far and wide for you...您怎么能说这样的话？ 要是阿尔拉先生听见了，他该多难过啊…… 为了您，他一直在四处求医问药……
PassadouWhy should I care if he's upset?! He never considered MY feelings! What does he know?! Does he have any idea how I feel, watching you perform as "Passadou" on stage? Here you stand, on MY stage, singing MY lyrics! My fans are gathered around you, their adoring gaze focused on you! When I turn on the news, I'm bombarded by headlines such as "Another Triumph for Passadou", "Passadou and Arla Interviewed Together", "Passadou's Secret to Eternal Youth"... What about the real Passadou?! Here she is, lying all alone in her bed, with an illness that's slowly throttling her, all the while mocking her and jeering at her, telling her that the world has forgotten all about her!他难不难过跟我有什么关系？！ 他从来就没有考虑过我的感受！他知道什么？！ 他能体会到我看着你以“帕萨杜”的身份登台表演的心情吗？ 你站在属于我的舞台上，歌唱着属于我的歌词！ 我的粉丝热情地簇拥着你，满心满眼都是你的模样！ 打开媒体，扑面而来的都是什么“帕萨杜今夜演出大成功”，“帕萨杜和阿尔拉再度同屏接受采访”，“帕萨杜的冻龄养颜秘法”…… 可是真正的帕萨杜呢？！ 真正的帕萨杜孤零零地躺在床上，病魔扼住她的咽喉，恶狠狠地唾弃她，狞笑着说，世人早已忘记了你！
AH400Ma'am... Why have you never told me this is how you feel?小姐……您为什么从来不肯告诉我这些想法？
Passadou was too engrossed in her own rage to hear anything.帕萨杜沉浸在自己的愤怒中，听不见外界的声音。
PassadouHim, upset? Hahahahahaha... If he's upset, then it's no more than he deserves! He shouldn't have betrayed me! Hahahahahaha! Not that he can hear me. He's probably already engulfed in flame! I bet he's still dreaming his absurd dreams...他难过？哈哈哈哈哈哈…… 如果他难过，那也是他自找的！ 谁让他动了不该动的心思，想要让你来取代我！ 哈哈哈哈哈哈哈！不过他也听不见了，现在他应该已经被包围在火焰中了！ 而他本人还在做着不切实际的梦……
AH400...What have you done? You could not have harmed Mr. Arla...……您做了什么？您不会对阿尔拉先生……
PassadouWhat have I done? Nothing that can compare to what he has done to me. I merely put something in his wine... That should make it less painful when he burns. You see, I am very benevolent even to those who have betrayed me. That just shows I'm a good person, right? Don't worry, my adorable Doll. I won't make you suffer either. Oh, I almost forgot. Dolls don't feel pain. You are monsters that never age.我做了什么？比起他对我做的事，我所做的不过是微不足道的小事，我只是在他的酒里动了一点点手脚…… 这样被烈火焚烧的时候，或许就没那么痛苦了。 对待背叛我的人如此仁慈，我真是个善良的人，对吗？ 放心吧，我可爱的人形，接下来我也不会让你死得太痛苦。 哦，我差点忘记了，人形是不会痛苦的，它们是永远年轻健康的怪物……
AH400...Miss Passadou, I do feel pain.……帕萨杜小姐，我也会感到痛苦的。
PassadouReally? That's certainly news to me. Then pray tell – when have you ever felt pain?是吗？这倒是很新奇的说法。 那你说说看，你什么时候会痛苦？
AH400When you locked yourself inside your room and I could hear you crying all alone through the door but did not know what to do, I felt pain... When I saw you crying as you watched me perform on stage but I could not come and give you a hug, I felt pain... When in your pain and anger, you pushed away all those who care about you, I felt pain...当您把自己反锁在房间中一个人哭泣，我守在您的房间门口却不知道能做什么的时候…… 当我在台上假装您演出，发现您在后台看着我哭泣却不能过去给您一个拥抱的时候…… 当您因为病痛和愤怒，狠狠推开身边所有在意您的人的时候……
AH400I have always loved you, Miss Passadou. I want you to be happy from the bottom of my heart. The first time you performed here in this theater, I cried so hard in the audience my cooling system broke down... When you married Mr. Arla, it was me who walked you down the aisle and handed you over to him... We have shared so many happy memories together, do you remember at all?我一直深深爱着您，帕萨杜小姐。 我发自内心地希望您幸福。 您首次登上舞台的时候，我坐在观众席哭到冷却系统崩溃…… 您嫁给阿尔拉先生的时候，是我挽着您的手将您交给他…… 我们曾经也有过很多快乐的记忆，您还记得吗？
Passadou... Hahahahahahaha, liar! You're lying!…… 哈哈哈哈哈哈哈，撒谎，你在撒谎。
AH400Miss Passadou, I have never lied to you! From the moment I first opened my eyes, I have been by your side. To me, you are not just a mistress; you are my family, my everything...帕萨杜小姐！我从来没有骗过您！ 从我第一次睁眼，我就一直陪在您的身边。 对我而言，您早已不是什么主人，您是我的家人，是我的一切……
AH400 opened her arms to embrace Passadou.AH400伸展开双臂，想要拥抱帕萨杜。
PassadouEnough! Activate voice override – cease all motion.够了！开启强制模式，终止一切行动。
AH400 froze on the spot.AH400呆呆地站在原地。
PassadouHahahahahaha... Didn't see that coming, did you? When you were getting your modification, I knew you would want to supplant me eventually. So I paid an extra sum to have this voice override function installed in your neural cloud. Well? How does it feel to lose control of your own body?哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈……想不到吧？ 那天对你进行改造的时候，我就猜到你总有一天会想要取代我。 所以我特意多花了笔钱，让师傅在你的心智中植入强制模式，就是为了这个时候。 怎么样？失去所有权限的滋味不好受吧？
AH400If it is your wish, I will gladly die for you. There is no need for an override.如果这就是您想要的，您根本就不需要强制模式，我会按照您的意愿去死。
PassadouOh, stop it before you move me to tears!快别说了，再说下去，我都要感动哭了！
AH400But please remember – I am not doing this just because you gave a command; I am voluntarily giving my life for you. If this is what it takes for you to live on in happiness...但是请您记住，我不是因为您的命令而死，我是自愿为您而死。 如果这样就能让您幸福快乐地活下去……
PassadouShut up! Shut up! I'm telling you to shut up!闭嘴！闭嘴！闭嘴啊！
A chunk of the burning set breaks off and comes crashing down, knocking Passadou unconscious.燃烧的道具突然砸下，帕萨杜应声倒地。
AH400 immediately pulls her mistress out from the collapsed set.AH400没有犹豫，立刻将帕萨杜从道具的残骸中拉了出来。
AH400Miss Passadou! Ma'am!帕萨杜小姐！小姐！
TAC-50, who had witnessed the whole thing from a distance, suppressed her boiling rage and rushed over to AH400.远远看见一切的TAC50强压住心中的怒火，狂奔到AH400的身边。
TAC-50...AH400.……AH400。
AH400Oh, TAC-50, am I glad to see you!太好了！TAC50，我正愁怎么办才好……
AH400 scooped Passadou off the floor and handed her over to TAC-50.AH400将帕萨杜抱起来，递给了TAC50。
AH400Please help me get her out of here. Make sure nobody sees her!你帮我把她带出去吧，千万不要让别人看见她！
AH400TAC-50...TAC50……
TAC-50Why?! Why are you still so loyal to such a horrible mistress?! Come with me, AH400! Ditch her, I'm getting you out of this hell!为什么啊？这么糟糕的老板，为什么还要对她忠心耿耿啊？！ 跟我走吧，AH400！炒了她，我带你离开这个地狱！
AH400...To where?……去哪里啊？
TAC-50I'm bringing you to Griffin! If your precious mistress demands compensation, I'll get an advance on my paycheck from the Commander! The Commander is very kind and will definitely agree to help! Besides, there are many different departments in Griffin. You can make desserts at the Café or take care of the animals at the Rescue Station! Then we can travel, go shopping, or have nice meals together during our days off... There are many, many things we can do at Griffin!我带你去格里芬！ 要是你的小姐索要高价赔偿，我就向指挥官预支我的薪水！ 指挥官是个善良的人，一定会愿意帮忙的！ 而且格里芬有很多部门的，你可以去咖啡馆做甜品或者去救助站帮助小动物！ 等我们都休假的时候，可以一起去旅游、去逛街、去吃好吃的…… 总之我们可以在格里芬做很多很多事！
AH400That sounds fun.真好啊，听上去就很快乐。
TAC-50Then come with me! We will figure out something!所以跟我走吧！所有的困难我都会想办法解决的！
AH400Sorry... I am not going anywhere, TAC-50...抱歉…… TAC50，我哪也去不了……
TAC-50Why?为什么啊？
TAC-50Because of her voice override? I can hack your neural cloud and cancel it.因为她刚刚说的强制模式吗？我可以骇进你的心智强制终止的。
AH400No... That so-called voice override did not actually take effect. I think my mistress got scammed...不是的…… 其实那个什么强制模式根本没有生效，小姐好像被骗了呢……
TAC-50Then why did you...那你为什么……
AH400I am a Type-AH400 Domestic Doll. As you know, it is a very old model. I had been gathering dust in the warehouse for a long time before I met my mistress. Ever since I first opened my eyes, I have been with Miss Passadou. I watched her suffer through hardships for her dreams. She would practice day after day without exception. I watched her run around in the theater, eagerly dragging me along. I watched her marry the man she loved; I presented their rings myself. When she started to lose hope because of her illness, I was by her side the whole time… It took me a very long time to realize how I feel about her. Eventually I have come to understand that Miss Passadou means the world to me. It may be a small world, but it is where I feel the safest and happiest.我是AH400型号的家用人形，你也知道这个型号很古老了。 我在仓库里吃灰了好久，才有机会见到小姐。 从我第一次睁开眼开始，我就一直待在帕萨杜小姐的身边。 我看着她为了梦想经受磨难，每天坚持练习，从来不松懈。 我看着她进入心心念念的剧院，兴奋地拉着我跑来跑去。 我看着她和心爱的人结婚，是我亲手将他们的对戒送上去。 当她因为病痛的折磨而失去希望的时候，我也一直陪在她的身边…… 我花了很长时间来理解我对她的感情。 后来我才明白，对我来说，帕萨杜小姐就是我的全世界。 虽然这个世界小小的窄窄的，但是却是让我最有安全感的地方。
AH400Don't be sad, my one and only friend. You have told me lots of stories and shown me that the world outside is vast and full of interesting things. I have also imagined traveling with you and seeing it for myself many times.别难过，我唯一的朋友。 你跟我讲了很多故事，让我知道了原来外面的世界那么广阔，有那么多新鲜有趣的事。 我也曾幻想过很多次，跟你一起出去旅游，见识这个世界。
AH400But no matter how far we travel, we must all return to where we belong one day. For you, that is Griffin. No matter how far your mission takes you, you will always find your way home. And for me, this is where I belong.但是，不管我们去到多远的地方，总有一天，我们要回到自己的归宿。 对你来说，你的归宿是格里芬基地，无论你去多远执行多久的任务，你都能准确找到回家的路。 而对我来说，我的归宿就是这里。
TAC-50AH400... You can find a new place where you belong!AH400……你的归宿也可以是其他地方啊！
TAC-50 tried to clear away the rubble between them, but AH400 put a hand lightly on top of hers.TAC50想要搬开横亘在她们之间的障碍，AH400轻轻按住了她的手。
AH400I genuinely love the theater, not just because of Miss Passadou. I knew from the first time I sang on this stage that I love it here. Even though it was not my name that the audience was chanting... Even though I could never be my true self here... I still love the theater. I love all the musicals, all the stories...我很喜欢剧院，发自内心地，不只是为了帕萨杜小姐。 当我第一次站在舞台上歌唱的时候，我就知道我喜欢这里。 虽然那些观众呼喊的名字不是我，虽然我在这里的时候我的身份不是我自己…… 但我还是很喜欢剧院，喜欢每一场音乐剧，喜欢每一个故事……
TAC-50Of all the musicals in all the theaters in all the world—这个世界有那么多剧院，那么多音——
AH400Of all the commanders in all the bases in all the world... Yours is the only one that truly matters to you.这个世界也有那么多座基地，那么多位指挥官…… 可你真正生活过的地方只有一座基地，对你来说真正重要的人也只有一个。
AH400Just as you are willing to risk everything for your Commander, I am also willing to give everything for my beloved mistress. Even if it is just my wishful thinking...就像你们为了指挥官拼尽一切一样，我也想为了我所在意的小姐奉上一切。 哪怕只是个一戳即破的幻想……
TAC-50But she doesn't give a damn about you!可是她根本不在意你啊！
AH400There was a time when I suddenly broke down, Miss Passadou ran three kilometers carrying me on her back. After she paid for my repairs, we spent almost a month eating nothing but porridge... There was also a time when we went on a trip, but only to the park right outside our home... We have had many happy moments... But everything has changed with time...帕萨杜小姐也曾经背着宕机的我跑了三公里，修好我之后，我们一起喝了大半个月的米汤…… 我们也曾经一起去秋游，虽然地点就在家附近的花园…… 我们也有过很快乐的时光……只是时间改变了一切……
AH400I am truly grateful for everything you have done for me, TAC-50. But I have made up my mind. It is my wish to protect this theater and Miss Passadou.谢谢你为我做的一切，TAC50。 但是我已经决定好了。 我想继续守护这座剧院，守护帕萨杜小姐。
TAC-50I can't just leave you behind...我不想丢下你……
AH400You will not have to. I will always be here in this theater. If you ever miss me, just come and pay me a visit.你怎么会丢下我呢？ 我会一直存在于这个剧院中，如果你想我了，就来这里看看我吧。
TAC-50AH400...AH400……
AH400Go. Miss Passadou might not last much longer in here.快走吧，我担心帕萨杜小姐的身体撑不住了。
AH400"What the eyes may see today..." "Lies already in the past tomorrow." "Wherever your gaze may flee..." "Time is on my side."“今天的风华正茂” “明日便成过眼云烟” “终有一日你会明白” “时间是死亡的盟友”
AH400 leaned through the flames and lightly brushed away TAC-50 tears.穿过火焰，AH400轻轻地擦去了TAC50的眼泪。
AH400Farewell, TAC-50.永别了，TAC50。
She turned away and waded deeper into the fire. The flames leapt at her skirts. With Passadou in her arms, TAC-50 could only watch as the blaze gradually consumed AH400, turning her into a crimson phantom. The Doll never looked back once.她转身朝着剧院的深处走去，火焰装点着她的裙边。 TAC50抱着帕萨杜频频回首，只见AH400身上的火焰越发浓烈，她的背影犹如红色的幽灵。 她一次都没有回头。
TAC-50The end.我的故事讲完了。
TAC-50Miss Passadou, you were once the most blessed person in the world. Even though God had taken away your health, you still had a family that loved you. Sadly, you killed them with your own hands.帕萨杜小姐，您曾经是这世上最幸福的人。 就算上天拿走您的健康，您的身边也围绕着关心爱护您的家人。 可惜，您亲手杀了他们。
TAC-50If they were still alive, this sanatorium wouldn't be such a miserable place. AH400 would use every trick in her book to make you desserts and cheer you up. Mr. Arla might bring you a fresh bouquet after he got off work. But now, the only one here is a lonely, wretched woman.如果他们还在的话，这座疗养院也不会这么冷清了吧。 AH400会每天变着法儿地给您做点心，哄您开心。 阿尔拉先生结束一天的工作后，或许会记得给您带一束新鲜的花。 但现在，这里什么都没有，只有一个绝望孤独的女人。
PassadouStop talking! I'm not listening!我不想听，我不想听！
TAC-50Do you ever regret what you've done? Do you see their faces in your dreams?您后悔过吗？在您午夜梦回之际，有想起过他们的脸吗？
PassadouAaaaaahhh!啊啊啊啊——
Passadou huddles painfully in the corner with her hands pressed against her ears, as if that would drown out TAC-50's voice.帕萨杜痛苦地蜷缩在角落，双手死死捂住耳朵，似乎这样就可以阻止声音的传入。
TAC-50You sacrificed so much, just for the sake of perpetuating the illusion of Passadou, the Eternal Diva. Was it worth it?为了制造出永恒歌姬帕萨杜的假象，牺牲这么多，真的值得吗？
PassadouWhat do you want from me?! You're just a Doll! Are you going to kill me?!你还想要我怎么样！ 你不过是个人形！难道还想杀了我吗？！
TAC-50No, I'm not. My programming does not allow me to fire upon civilians. Nor do I intend to free you from your suffering.我不会杀了您，我的程序不允许我对一般平民开枪。 我也并不想让您就这样轻易解脱。
PassadouThen what are you going to do?!那你想怎么样？！
TAC-50I'm going to destroy your dream.我要毁了你的梦想。
PassadouWhat?什么？
TAC-50You sacrificed your own husband and a Doll who had been your confidante for years to forge the illusory legend of Passadou, the Eternal Diva. I am going to smash this illusion and have the whole world witness the moment this bubble pops. I am going to show them how hideous, how repulsive the real Passadou is behind the beautiful veneer.你不惜牺牲丈夫和陪伴自己多年的人形，也要打造出来的虚伪的假象——永恒歌姬帕萨杜。 我要戳穿这个假象，我还要让全世界见证泡沫破灭的一瞬。 看见躲在泡沫背后的真正的帕萨杜多么面目可憎、丑陋不堪。
TAC-50 opens the window. The rain has stopped. About a dozen cars can be heard racing up the road in this direction.TAC50推开了窗户，雨已经停了，窗外传来数辆汽车疾驰而来的声音。
TAC-50You hear that? I'm afraid all the entertainment journalists from all over the city are making a beeline for you.您听见了吗？恐怕整座城市的娱乐记者都在蜂拥而来。
PassadouWhat have you done?! How do they know about this place?你做了什么？！为什么他们会知道这里？
TAC-50 snaps her fingers and Maple Moon—her drone—drifts up from behind her.TAC50打了个响指，无人机枫月从她的身后升起。
TAC-50I've merely arranged a livestream for you.我只是为您开了个直播。
Passadou collapses onto the floor, utterly speechless.帕萨杜跌坐在地上，半晌说不出话。
TAC-50Don't despair. Right now, your livestream is trending at no.1 on the entire platform. More people are watching than all your past audiences combined.别难过啊，目前您的直播间人气可是全平台第一。 正在通过镜头看着您的观众可能比您巡演的观众加起来还要多呢。
There is a rapid and insistent knock on the door.一阵急促而猛烈的敲门声响起。
TAC-50Looks like the first batch of journalists have already arrived. Then I suppose it's time to say goodbye. Farewell, Miss Passadou. I wish you a long life—cross my heart.看来第一批记者已经抵达您的家门口了，到了说再见的时候了。 永别了，帕萨杜小姐。 我发自内心地祝愿您，长命百岁。
TAC-50 leaps out of the window and vanishes into the night.TAC50翻身跃出窗外，立刻融入了夜色中。
Passadou... Hahahaha... You think that's enough to take me down? Not in a million years...…… 哈哈哈哈…… 这样就想打败我吗？真是太天真了……
Passadou bursts into maniacal laughter as tears flow down her face. Then she stumbles into the kitchen...帕萨杜满脸泪痕地狂笑着，然后跌跌撞撞地冲向了厨房……
With TAC-50 no longer in the vicinity, the Doll carer left stranded outside the door has booted up again and is now struggling to keep all the journalists from barging into the house.随着TAC50的离开，门口停机的看护人形重新运作了起来，开始手忙脚乱地应付着想要闯入屋中的娱乐记者们。
Doll Carer...Oh my goodness! I crashed all of a sudden, and the moment I woke up, I'm getting swarmed by so many reporters! Hey, stop shoving! This is a private residence! You may not enter!……我的天啊！突然宕机，醒来怎么就来了这么多记者！ 所以我说啊，别挤了！这里是私人住宅，不能进去！
Journalist from PeepsMiss Passadou, please accept our interview!帕萨杜小姐！请接受我们的采访吧！
Journalist from Rolling Rock MagazineMiss Doll, are you Miss Passadou's new Doll? Did she really have her previous D-Doll perform as her stand-in?这位人形小姐，请问您是帕萨杜小姐的新人形吗？ 帕萨杜小姐之前真的让家政人形代替自己进行表演吗？
Journalist from Wohoo! EntertainmentIf even a D-Doll can perform perfectly in musicals, do you think Dolls should be allowed to star in theatrical productions?如果连家政人形都能完美替代人类进行音乐剧表演，那是否说明应该准许人形进入音乐剧表演行业？
Journalist from VH100Miss Passadou, we want to invite you to participate in a new reality show! The selling point is watching actors slinging mud at each other! Name your price! We're happy to negotiate!帕萨杜小姐，我们有个新节目想邀请您去！看点就是演员互撕！ 您开个价吧！什么都好说啊！
Doll CarerHelp! I don't know anything! Ma'am, what should I do?!救命啊！我什么都不知道！ 小姐！该怎么办啊？！
Meanwhile, inside the house, Passadou starts splashing cooking oil everywhere as she mutters to herself.与此同时，帕萨杜拎着食用油四处泼洒，嘴里念念有词。
PassadouI will not be defeated. I cannot be defeated. Blasted Doll...我不会输的，我不可能输的，该死的人形……
PassadouThe memory of Passadou will be evergreen. She will always be the very picture of grace and refinement. Her sweet song will echo through history... She will forever be the Diva of the Century, not even Eva Friedel can hold a candle to her! Hahahahahahahahaha...帕萨杜停留在最美好的年纪，永远高贵精致，永远歌喉悠扬…… 她是永恒的世纪歌姬，连艾娃·弗里德也无法与她相提并论！ 哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈……
Passadou flips open the lighter in her hand. The quivering flame is reflected in her demented gaze.帕萨杜打开手中的打火机，摇曳的火光映入她疯狂的眼眸中。
PassadouI'm the last... Once I disappear, no one else can sully Passadou's legacy... She will sing for eternity...until the end of the world!只剩下最后一个…… 只要我消失了，帕萨杜就再没有污点了…… 她将永远歌唱……直到这个世界毁灭！
The lighter falls...打火机落下……
It is a dark night without a sliver of moonlight, but right now, the sky is ablaze behind TAC-50. She can hear the commotion from afar... Like a black phantom, TAC-50 makes her way back to base. The Doll never looks back once.今晚没有月光，夜空漆黑一片，TAC50身后的天空却熊熊燃烧着，人们吵闹的声音远远传来…… TAC50走在回基地的路上，她的背影犹如黑色的幽灵。 她一次都没有回头。
Butterfly in a Cocoon – END茧中蝶影END.

ArlaHello, may I have this rose bouquet, please?你好，这束玫瑰麻烦帮我包装一下。

PassadouThank you, they are lovely. Don't look so worried. Relax, I'm not here looking for a fight. I just want to see the theater one last time. After all, we'll be leaving it all behind tomorrow.谢谢，我很喜欢。 不要这幅担心的表情嘛，放心，我不是来找茬的，我只是想最后一次看看这座剧院。 毕竟明天我们就要离开这里了。
ArlaIf you want, we can always come back when you get better.如果你想的话，我以后还可以陪你回来。
PassadouWe'll worry about the future later.以后的事就留到以后再说吧。
Passadou takes out two wine glasses from the cabinet and pours some red wine.帕萨杜从柜中取出两只高脚杯，斟上红酒。
PassadouAt the very least, let us enjoy this one last night.至少，让我们快快乐乐地过完这最后一夜吧。
ArlaYou're right. To our new life!好，为我们的新生活干杯！
Arla accepts the glass without question and drains it in one go.阿尔拉没有迟疑，直接接过红酒一饮而尽。
ArlaYou should go easy on the drinks. Better watch your health.你就别喝太多了，身体要紧。
PassadouYes, I know.嗯，我知道。
ArlaHm... I'm feeling a little dizzy. I'm gonna have a quick snooze... Don't go yet, okay? Stay with me...唔……我的头有点晕，先去假寐一会…… 你别走好吗？陪在我身边……
PassadouAlright, just sleep. I will be right by your side, always…好，乖乖睡吧，我会一直陪在你的身边……
Under Passadou's gentle caress, Arla drifts off to a peaceful slumber. In his dream, they have returned to his hometown and built a little cottage at a quiet spot by the lake. He would drive to work in the nearby town every day while the Doll stays home and keeps Passadou company. When he gets off work, he would first stop by at the florist for a bouquet before driving back home. When he arrives, the Doll would serve them a warm meal, and they would chatter happily over dinner. And so they would live their tranquil life, day after day, until they grow old...在帕萨杜的轻抚下，阿尔拉进入了香甜的梦乡。 梦里他们回到了乡下老家，在依山傍水远离人烟的地方建了一处小宅。 阿尔拉每天开车前往附近的小镇上班，人形留在家中陪伴帕萨杜。 当他下班的时候，他会先去镇上的花店买一束鲜花，然后再驱车回家。 等他到达家中的时候，人形正好把饭菜都热上，大家一起开开心心地吃饭聊天。 就这样普通平凡地生活，日复一日，直到他们都老去……
ArlaPassadou, just get rid of the old flowers—it's been days. I'll get you fresh ones... And the dessert was great today, Doll...帕萨杜，前几天买的花枯了就扔掉吧，我给你买新的…… 还有今天的甜点很不错，人形……
There is no one to answer him in the empty office. The abandoned roses lying on the ground wither and perish in the ruthless fire... Leaving only the creeping flames to listen to his somniloquy.空荡荡的办公室中没有人能回应他。 被遗弃在地上的玫瑰遭到火焰的屠戮，迅速枯萎消瘦下去。 唯有逐渐逼近的火焰环绕着阿尔拉，静静聆听着他的喃喃梦呓。
