Dialogue

Hello Charlotte Episode 1

Library (first iteration)

Frei appears after Felix's demise and offers advice on how to reverse it.

• "It's no use. No matter what you do, he'll end up dying here in one way or another."
• "Stop making that face, it doesn't suit you. I'm a librarian. But you see, nobody comes to read anymore. Anyhow, there's no use crying over dead meat."
• "There, there. Not all is lost.. aside from this person's head, I guess. Wait, wait, don't hit me for that!"
• "Switch the channel. That's all."
• "You'll see for yourself. Perhaps you'll get lucky enough to change history."
• "I'm not telling you to do something unthinkable, am I? Besides, I am quite knowledgeable about how this place works. Ah, sorry, I am enjoying myself too much. It's the first time I've talked to an actual person in years. The door's open. Aren't you in a hurry?"
• "Bye-bye. Be careful if you meet the Executioners on your way. They won't be nice like me."

Library (second iteration)

First conversation.

• "...?"
• "May I ask... Do I know you?"
• "I believe it's the first time we met."
• "That's no surprise. We must all look the same to you."
• "No need to apologize. Is there a book you need to find? Perhaps I can be of assistance to my fellow bibliophiles. I do my best to keep everything in order in here, you know?"
• "All exits here are safe. It's a library, after all."

Second conversation.

• "Is there anything else you'd like to ask?"
• "Ah, about that...well, you see, this library is the last one in the world. The moment my people enter this place, they'll burn it to ashes."
• "Don't you know? Keeping books is a grave sin. Everything has to be rewritten. Some books here, however, store the information that wasn't changed for one month! Isn't that amazing?"
• "They already did. I made sure no one came back. Ha-ha! That was a joke. I'm in the middle of setting up a better security system. The concept is that it might lure you in like an RPG game, but then you'll find yourself unable to get out."
• "You might think I'm being paranoid, but everyone's like that these days."

Final conversation.

• "Anything else?"
• "Name?.. I'm afraid I don't have one."
• "Hmm...male species of our kind are called "Frei", so you can call me that."
• "Charlotte...that's a beautiful name. I'll remember it." (Original)
• "Charlotte... (..."the free one", huh.) ...that's a beautiful name. I'll remember it." **

** = This line was refined in an update to Hello Charlotte Episode 1 that coincided with Episode 3's release, likely as subtle foreshadowing.

Hello Charlotte Episode 2

Memory 2: Individuality

Frei is speaking to one of his security drones.

• "Oh, you're flattering me."
• "No, no, it's my pleasure."
• "What? You want to hear about Pythias again?"
• "Such a curious drone you are."
• "Well, well. The Pythias, the ancient race. The females of our kind go by the name "Freya", males are called "Frei".
• "Were we always just meat dolls, mere containers for the Oracle?"
• "No, we weren't. Never were."
• "When the Oracle appeared, the world divided into two factions."
• "The globalists, who wanted their minds to become one with everyone, and individualists, who were against that."
• "We, the individualists, started the Godhunt to get rid of the Oracle and globalists alike."
• "Why, you would ask?"
• "To prevent the Death of Ego."
• "Death of individuality would've meant death of all creativity and culture, and we wanted to prevent that by all means."
• "But globalists were stronger."
• "They outnumbered us and gave their Egos for the Oracle to take on a silver platter. They've accepted the Oracle."
• "That's when individualists started to commit mass suicides, refusing to give in."
• "Our downfall began quickly. So we ran like cowards."
• "Isolated ourselves from the world just to stay ourselves to the very end."
• "No wonder many went crazy."
• "We became paranoid of every sound in the space we inhabited."
• "So we've built traps. Mazes. Puzzles. Everything to hold back the intruders."
• "I can't beg you not to hold grudges against any of us. We're a sick, sick nation."
• "And I feel like the end is coming soon, my loyal friend."
• "Or perhaps it's already come, and all that was left were recordings of our former glory. Simulations of existence."
• "Who knows? Perhaps that little miss intruder will bring about our end."
• "It's always something small that causes big things to happen."
• "Remember, little drone."
• "For living beings, the Oracle is no god. It's nothing more than a parasite of our minds."
• "While it seemingly granted our wish to connect, it was what destroyed us."
• "The irony is that is probably isn't even aware of what it's doing."
