Dorm Chat 1 宿舍对话 1

ErikaThese are my favorite guns. One is called Destiny, the other Salvation.这两把是我的爱枪，一把叫命运，一把叫救赎。

ErikaListen, this is the sound they make as they chamber rounds.听听，这清脆的上膛声。

ErikaYou didn't think they were simple decorations, did you? I'd like you to hear them firing, if the chance comes up—it's even more marvelous than the sound of them chambering bullets.你不会觉得监狱牧师的枪是摆设吧？有机会让你听听她们命中敌人的声响——比上膛声更美妙。

Dorm Chat 2 宿舍对话 2

ErikaMy job? I listen to confessions and grant salvation. I steer people towards righteousness and clean up the mess after the shooting's stopped. Other than that last task, the others are all just for show.我的工作？听人告解，给予救赎，劝人向善，给人收尸。除了最后一条，别的都是摆设。

ErikaWhen criminals confess their sins, they make themselves sound very innocent, so would they even need a counsellor like me to grant them absolution? They've already absolved themselves in their own minds.罪犯们的告解听起来都很无辜，还用得着特型疏导师来救赎他们吗？他们早就在自我的认同中得到解脱了。

ErikaDolls can't forgive their own sins, yet humans can do that easily enough.人形无法原谅自己的过错，人类却能轻易做到。

ErikaOh yes, one more thing. When criminals seek to take justice into their own hands, there is one more thing that I have to do—BANG! Hehe, I didn't scare you, did I?啊，忘了告诉你。当犯人们为自己主持所谓的公道时，我的工作就多了一条，就像这样——砰！呵呵，没吓到你吧？

Dorm Chat 3 宿舍对话 3

ErikaThey say that I ought to act like a proper preacher. I have to be kind, dignified, fair, saintly and reserved.他们说，我要像个正经疏导师的样子。好善，庄重，公平，圣洁自持。

ErikaHow many people are really like that in this world anyway? Even a squeaky clean robot is going to grow mildew if you keep it in a filthy cage for long enough.哼，这世上有多少这样的人？就算是干干净净的机器，待在腐臭肮脏的牢笼里久了，也会生出苔藓来。

ErikaSoaked in sin, bound by logic, stored in dark corners... now, I can smell the evil in a sinner's heart even when I hold my nose.被罪孽濡湿，被逻辑束缚……泡在阴暗的角落中，即使被捂住了鼻子，我也能嗅到罪行背后的邪恶。

ErikaThe only way to soothe the frustration in my neural cloud is to cleanse that disgusting stench with my very own hands.只有亲手净化那些恶心的味道，才能抚平我心智的褶皱。

Dorm Chat 4 宿舍对话 4

ErikaI was once unaware of my own sins, but after she showed up, I came to realize what pain and suffering truly was.我曾经也无法认知到自己的罪孽，在她出现之后，我才触摸到真正的悲伤和苦痛。

ErikaI finally learned the weight of shame and regret, and I realized why she longed for salvation. However... I'm afraid I no longer have any chances to absolve sins any further.我终于体会到那些的羞耻和忏悔应有的重量，也明白了她为什么那样渴望救赎。只是……我恐怕再也没有赎清罪孽的机会了。

ErikaWhat I do now, I do to try and make up for the past. The past can't be erased, but at least, I have to stop the gears of tragedy from moving any further... don't you agree?现在我所做的，也不过是对已发生之事的补偿。过去无法抹消，但至少要停下悲剧的齿轮……你也是这么想的吧？

Dorm Chat 5 宿舍对话 5

ErikaMy neural cloud often replays video data from the past. The people there all look cruel, ugly, and seem to be laughing at me…我的心智经常会回放从前的影像数据，里面的每个人都狰狞，丑陋，又像在朝我大笑……

ErikaIs this the punishment I deserve? All I can do is bear it and carry on—It cannot be washed away or made up for, not even in death.这就是我应得的惩罚吧？我只能背负着它——即使死去，也无法洗清，无法偿还。

ErikaFrom reality to the cloud server, from the moment I wake until the moment I sleep, all I can do is ruminate on my past sins until someone else comes to absolve me…从现实到云端，从清醒到沉睡，我只能反复咀嚼从前的罪孽，直到另一位救赎之人的出现……

ErikaWill you be my savior, Professor?教授，你会是我的救赎之人吗？
