Not to be rude, but there's actually 63 digits recited in the song, meaning you've actually memorized more than you thought you did! warning: Math ahead! Proceed at your own risk Each line has 4 digits, except for the first one which has 3. Let's pretend that the first line is normal for nice math. The lines come in bunches of four, meaning that there is roughly 16 digits per bunch. There are 4 bunches, so that leaves us with 64 digits recited. However, the second "digit" is actually a decimal point. 64 - 1 = 63 so that means that if you've memorized all of the digits in the song, you've actually memorized 63 digits. Congratulations! You can now flex on your math teachers or whomever you want because you know more of e than they do!
Euler's number (e) is an important constant in mathematics that is frequently used in practically every field. It is 2.7182818284590452353602874713527... Because it is an irrational number, it has no ending. The joke is that the singer is never going home.
"I desperately wish to be included in the city's night." I love this line, but noticed it could be taken in two ways. One, wanting to be a star of the city, not by distortion classification, but as someone who shines brightly above all. Someone with influence to change the city for the better. However, the city's true nights are full of bloodshed, and by the morning, they're forgotten as sweepers eat and sweep the remains of the night. One one hand, it's a wish to have power and be a catalyst for change, while on the other, it's the person's death wish.
i didn't consider that second meaning at all! but there's a third way this line could be taken, which is actually pretty simple - it's a wish for freedom. after all, as mirinae insinuates in the hana association 1 cutscene, the stars of the city are the freest beings in the city edit: HAHA whoops after i posted this comment i spent 15 straight minutes doing nothing but think about the themes in this game. i am so normal (lying)
No, I think it's the complete opposite. The previous verse points out that the "neon stars" are "reflection of murky gutter sky", so the singer wants to be included in the city's night, escaping from those stars. In the game context, the City's Stars are the freest beings because they are extremely strong and other people have to spin around them. This makes the road to the Star and everything around the Star full of bloodshed. So Yan, the singer, is the one in the night helping the one being oppressed by the City's Star, only to get distorted later. Furthermore, if you acquire Yan's book, he tells that because of the Index, he just wants to suicide to join his dead family. But then, the Index suddenly stops him and let him join as the Messenger instead. That's why he makes a small rebellion in the game.
Wouldnt call it "favorite song of the game".... however i very agree to the first part. The longer i listen to it the more i started to love it. Defeated this guy finally now. Everything that stands between me and finishing SotC is Xiao... no idea how to beat her... did everything else in stars of the city... but Xiao kinda seems undefeatable...
@@PriestessOfSlaanesh Have you beaten her? If you still haven't, I can give tips on how the fight works but then your victory might not be as satisfying, though. I myself would play every single player game blind, to enhance the experience.
Must be sad for Angela to see Yan fall like this, seeing how they are not so different, wanting to deviate from the script given to them. RIP Yan, your kindness will always be remembered
It's still kinda different. If Angela would deviate from the script, her stage would reset again and again, until she performs her role flawlessly. When Yan deviated, his stage just went on as if nothing happened. Angela at least could see the result of her deviations, even if it's the same for a million years.
@@hellatze She used to be. She's been learning throughout the game. I mean, sure, she'll still step on others to reach her freedom(ungodly amounts of time spent underground, after all), but since ch6 started she's been questioning her actions more and more.
@@darkuscarlet I do hope she realizes it sooner than later, because as of now, her actions have led to the deaths of approximately 400.000 people. Think about that number. 400000 people who had families, friends and loved ones. Those are all going to want revenge for their lost ones against Angela, not to mention most were Nest dwellers, so now she also has to evade the Nests' rage, and that's not mentioning Argalia and his ensemble, the Head... All and all, she's built such a large coalition against her, that even if she obtains her freedom, ironically, it may be better for her to never leave the Library because she'll be lynched by half of the City. In her quest for freedom, she has become public enemy number one, and that never turns out well for whoever holds that title... Besides, I do think she has showed some sympathies, but only for those with similar trauma (LoveTown, for instance), however, the more she goes on, the more greedy and less fazed she becomes, only caring to ask about how EGO and distortions work or to state that she's different from Yan or to comment on Prescripts. She's becoming more and more desensitized, and I think that's not going to go very well for her...
@@ahmedrizk300 Angela, unfortunately has almost no control over the situation, she's just the person on the surface. The real person killing other people is Ayin aka the Library or the person across the monitor. We baited Phillip into the 8 O Clock Circus so he Distorts and used him to lure out the hapless association and decimated them all. We granted the invitations to Argalia and the Reverb Ensemble and they believed that they were using us. We intoxicated the Prescripts to enlighten people with a whiplash of absolute death, by baiting the Index Elites into the Library and getting them killed. We made Angela the cold and calculating person she is now, and we killed people ever since the day Enoch died. We are going to wake the people up and recover the 3 days stolen away from us. Therefore we became the ultimate cosmic horror of the City itself, using nothing but a pair of hands and a group of skillful and loyal warriors under our disposal.
I love this song. Between its Cyberpunk feeling to the lyrics which describe Yan's futile attempt to ascend in the system to change it, only to realize in the end he was the one being played from the start. And realizing too late that an in omnipresent system as the City you can't change it from within.

@@s.m.2523 His fake prescripts were real as well. They were planned by the prescripts, as his coworkers were given prescripts telling them that the new messenger Yan will deliver forged prescripts but to follow them anyway, and when Yan reads a prescript fresh from the printer it adds on to one of the ones Yan wrote. “Go to any intersection and wave three times.” “Go to any intersection and look for a person waving. Follow them home.”
@@anubis7457 That also shows how scary the prescripts are You think it's no big deal to just wave in a random street but what you don't know is that it's actually a signal for someone else and you might just be a target by doing so Also, consider the prescript "…. At work, cut the ear of the first person to fulminate against you." You might think it's easy if you just told everyone that's your prescript, but there could be another person whose prescript is to fulminate against you (or get someone to fulminate against you) I was also thinking about things regarding the prescripts if The City is (almost?) omniscient, then why would it hand out prescripts to people it knows will end up failing? Especially for the painter who misunderstood the prescript he was given I think The City intentionally did that because it was letting Yan witness the executions in preparation for his breakdown at the end
These lyrics man, they are on point. Not only do parts read like prescripts, it also shows Yan’s view on the impossible prescripts that only get people killed. But if you really listen the song shows how Yan’s views have descended into the Distortion we fight. “Don’t ask me why, but I desperately wish to be included in the City’s Night.” Before, if he could’ve been a Star of the City then maybe, just maybe the freedom he get’s would allow Yan to make change, to fix the City from the inside as a part of the City’s Night. However this can also be taken as Nighttime in the Backstreets, a death wish as Yan has lost all hope since realizing “Everything he chose was by proxy.” “I desperately wish it be noticed by the City’s eyes.” Once again, a want for change, to have his voice be noticed and have an effect. But taken literally, being noticed by the City’s Eyes means being seen by the Beholders, and destroyed by the Head, once again a death wish. Aspiration turned into hopelessness. A want for change turned into a want for death.
By the time I got to Yan today I honestly felt like my eyes had fully glazed over, doing several gimmicky abnormalities, reading and watching build guides to tackle them, farming for pages to get in attempts I could feel my mind slowly slipping into a blank state as I finally overcame the anxiety of undertaking his fight. I think that this song, because of the state I was in going into this fight (being so frayed thin by the trials of this game and long days that feel like they drag on and on as I find less of myself to be reflected in the mirror) struck such an absolute chord with me. Yan is wildly alone in this world, he is the bringer of misfortune and death- even if only as a messenger that doesn't have any real bearing in the prescripts he delivers, is stranded and alone in this world. In the blink of an eye he has become that of a messenger of the Index, his power is relative to that of a Star, but in truth he was no more than a man in the eyes of the city. Straddled between the desire to shatter his own shackles and prove that he has his own will, some semblance of self in a city that grinds the individual into dust- no more than a semi-autonomous cog in the ever unknowable machine of this wish granting city, and the ever crushing reality that he, much like everyone else in the city, is nothing. Merely an individual part within the machine of the city, that which reflects the wills and desire of the individual back onto themselves. His breakdown into a distortion of the city, as he is unable to withstand the burden of trying to fight against the overwhelming nature of the city, he's distorted and acquires his "true" form. A machine that enacts the cities will, at least what he believes the cities will, and his own will to be. Free-will? Desire? None of that matters. His future is cast aside for the immediate future, to receive orders from a force incomprehensible by him and carry them out blindly. His story is very clearly meant to analog that of Angela's, someone who is actively and despite the nature of her own existence, the job she was given, and even the will of the city, trying to assert herself as a legitimate being worthy of existing, acquiring her humanity and sense of free will. Yan is the side of the coin that has conceded, one who is unable to continue fighting with the stress of living and choosing for the self even when it seems like all of those choices are the machinations of an impossible machine, whereas Angela (while constantly having her desires to be a true human challenged, and even causing her reflect on the choices she's had to make, truly questioning the worth of herself and why she wants to be a human, if everything she's done, all the death and pain she's inadvertently and directly responsible for is even worth it) continues to progress despite the near constant blows she must undertake in order to acquire her dream, to face all the consequences of her actions directly and accept the blows that come with them. I relate too personally to Yan's story, and even his conclusion. The easy route is to accept it, to give in to the nature of the world, lower ones head and trudge through life until it ultimate crushes you within it's gnashing teeth; instead of choosing for your self what you seek and desire, to be told who you are, and the life you should live instead. To adhere to the heart of the world, bow your head to it's cruelty and enact that cruelty with the false supposition that because we as people don't really have our own wills, and that because reality is cruel there's no reason to consider what he's doing is wrong, because if one does- then they must accept that they themselves are cruel, and have committed unforgivable and damming actions against other innocent individuals; or frankly even consider the fact that we've done anything wrong. I think Yan, as a character, instantly became so memorable, tragic, and wonderful because of this track and the culmination of his story in a single fell swoop. Ruinas music has always been phenomenal and very enjoyable, but much of it (to me) has always fallen into the background of the fights or moments while I focused more intently on the story or stressing over the gameplay; but Children of the City jettisoned me from this state and I just sat there, listening. Yan desires to be a star of the city, to become a person who can enact their own will, but he doesn't. Instead he falls to cruel machinations, and becomes a monstrous amalgam of his notions of the star, to his desires of the city. I adore this track for so many reasons, especially because it's just infectious, but more so because of what it represents. Frankly, that can be extrapolated to every character that enters into the library, especially the rats who we encounter at the very beginning of the game. One may wish to be included in the cities night, but to do so one must acknowledge what the city truly is, who the self truly is, and what the desires the city reflects back onto the self truly are. I feel like I could keep writing and writing about this song in particular, but I'd rather just keep listening to it at this point as Yan's tragedy, and every one that fate cascades into the library, listlessly plays through my mind.
Moments like this remind me why I like playing Ruina. Sure, abnos can get pretty bullshit (coughcough Price of Silence) and book burning can be stingy, but it only takes a little pushing to reach shit that resonates and takes your breath away.
Yan's story makes me honestly wonder if the city itself is a distortion. Yan, as it's revealed, was handing out prescripts that he made himself, being just as gruesome and tame as regular prescripts. It's then revealed that the Proxies were given instructions to follow all of Yan's fake prescripts, as if the creator of the prescripts (the city itself) knew what Yan was doing the whole time. When Yan finally sees the creation of a prescript, it's to follow a person home who is seen waving at them. If you remember, one of Yan's fake prescripts that he gave out was for a man to be that waving person. Not only did the mind of the city know that Yan made fake prescripts, but it's also creating prescripts off of those fake prescripts. By all means, this must show some sentience within the city as an entity. I know that the weaver at the wheels said it's the will of the city, but what does that truly mean? Just how sentient is the city?
Yes I agree with this but after the game ends and everyone is released from the library do you think yan will be distorted or maybe the prescripts were wrong and yan will have ego
@@oggerts7121 Well, consider this. The reverb ensemble returned completely distorted and continued to fight, this time to the death rather than being turned into a book. If everyone who had been turned into a book was coming back, and had enough time to fight, then distorted Yan would have most likely began fighting again, as they had "no free will of their own". On the other hand, If Yan had been returned to the city, still distorted because that's irreversible. If this is the case, and Yan is still compliant with the Index, then perhaps they would make Yan more of a major proxy, now strictly enforcing the prescripts.
@@darklythedemon1111 I mean The City knew that Index Proxies and Proselytes will be returned. This is the reason it sent them to the Library. Every Prescript works out in Index's favor. By making Proxies be converted into book they were saved from being beaten by Reverberation Ensemble and dying forever. Instead they were booked waiting to be released in the end. Because The City predicted it. In the end Index got Yan as the loyal distortion and Proxies and Proselytes all alive. And we do not know what City's Will exactly. Is this a combined consciousness of all residents of the city? Is this a god which became real because people wanted to find a meaning in their lives? Or perhaps Moirai just doesn't know the answer and in reality Prescripts are made by some kind of machine which is able to predict actions of every person?
@@loremipsum2622 HOLY SHIT THE PRESCRIPT BAMBOOZLED THE FUCKING LIBRARY BY TURNING THEIR OWN PROXIES INTO BOOKS TO TURN INTO A DISTORTION, ITS A FUCKING WIN-WIN FOR THEM.
The city isn't a distortion because it's not a person, and it has existed for much longer than the Library and thus the Distortion phenomenon which is to begin with caused by the ending of Lobotomy Corporation. Now the prescripts themselves would definitely be an Abnormality, as many other similar things are - this is what Lobotomy Corporation extracted energy from, although naturally occuring abnormalities are of course rare and thus L Corp. turned to Cogito experiments as a way to make their own ones.
Outside of the game's angle of this song, you could consider this a song about not being able to cope with failure and falling into a spiral of depression. Staying comfortable with the person you used to see as worthless through the desire to persist and live for the sake of it, hurting/disappointing those close to you, "setting yourself free" only to realize everything you did was for someone else up to that point, so you have no real desire of your own, the mundanity of life and the repetition that comes with it, the expectations of marriage and having a stable life, realizing you're suffering and trapped in this cycle because of your own actions but unable to stop it, and the whole angle of how children see only the neon stars, while the sky is murky but you still want to be a part of it, instead of being stuck trapped in your worthless situation. And reading the irrational number stopping you from ever "reaching" home and find peace for yourself, since you've lost your way already.
The flower on the lock and the Index symbol is a myosotis, also called "forget-me-not". In flower's language, it represent exactly what you think it represents.
A tale that sometimes as much as you want to change the system from within, sometimes it is so through and omnipresent in its corruption that it will ultimately always chew you out and spit you out.
So, when I heard Iron Lotus, my only regret was - that Yan probably won't get his own Mili song, since so far we only got one per danger rank. Now, I have no regrets. Thanks, Mili, thanks, Project Moon. This is better then Christmas.
@@PWLfr Nah, Tomerry was in Urban Plague, and TCC was from Urban Nightmare. Though Love Town was both pretty fucked up and on the second row of UP so I don't blame you for getting it mixed it.
Lyrics: "By the time you realize, you'll be restrained to a desk." "And with your dreams on the floor you comply, eyes chained to the test." Did they just reference Distortion Detective? That's a deep cut, I love it.
Damn. Can't day this is what I expected. Now that I realize a chunk of the lyrics are Prescripts, It honestly makes the song a lot cooler than it already was.
A subtle part to note about this song: all prescripts are stated in monotone, while Yan's inner desires are said emphatically. However, this also goes for the lines where Yan is describing his fight AGAINST the prescripts and the results of him learning about things: "snippy scissors cut down the strings, I set myself free, only to figure out everything I chose was by proxy" The prescripts both foretold what would happen when Yan learned the knowledge, but also forced him into that knowledge by giving him a prescript telling the location of the Weaver. The only thing Yan could have done to fight the prescripts was to fight the entire Index himself. He never had a chance.
How to solve these prescripts: 1. Sleep for a total of 800 hours per day and then drink a liter of milk, warm up before you go play ANS: Go buy the weapon that olivier used against angela during his reception (the assassination device imbued with T-Corp singularity. Preferrably some lesser version). Rest is easy 2. Only eat, or write, or pull the trigger with your right hand. Only thing that's left is to work on following commands ANS: This is a pretty normal prescripts, not that hard to complete 3. In 30 minutes find a groom or bride, bonus if brunette. In 90 hours spill their insides, paint your room picturesque ANS: First part should be easy, since you can scour the internet (assuming they have one), for the second part of the prescripts, you can make them eat a lot of things, then make them puke it out later, and use it as your materials for painting (things like dragonfruit, or use artificial food colouring) 4. In 400,000 meters, turn right. Pick up a knife and stab a familiar warm body ANS: Pick up a knife, heat up some puddles of water, and stab the 'body' of water. Or you could just stab your thigh, and seek medical help afterward. 5. Do not go home until you finish reading the value of e: 2.71828182845904523536028747135266249775724709369995957496696762 ANS: Now, this is the hardest one. You theoretically, can force yourself (perhaps using concept incenerator) to forget your home as a home, and to only remember it as a house. Now, you can go back to a house and live there, but its not your home anymore, because you don't recognize it as so. Tbh, this one is a 50/50, but its better than not being able to go home at all
The last one could probably completed by just changing your house. But the Prescripts could, in time, think of that as your new home, at which point you'll get punished (maybe).
Depending on how picky you think the prescripts are, using the tailor series of euler's number, you can actually read a value that equals e. Specifically, e is the sum of 1 divided by n factorial, where n starts at 0 and increments with each term to infinity and the first term (1 divided by 0!) equals 1.

While writing the song texts, context was a priority over the rythm and phrase lengths, it seems. That resulted in some phrases being a bit longer than rythm would suggest, but it was kinda countered by sticking two syllables in one. For example, in verse "Don't ask me why, I desperately wish to be included in the city's night", it was done twice. Takes a great articulation to make words still be legible, and she nailed it, I think
It's sooo strange in a good way. It's like Trap( Vocals and rhythmn) , Vapowave (The beats) and Bossa Nova/Jazz(Kinda cheerfull but calm feels) had a child and this is it.

指令のサイクルを壊したい、この都市が嫌だと思える、指令に逐一傷つくことができる、優しいヤンくんが凄く好きだから、納得の結果でもあるけど凄く辛い………… 悲しい………… I love yan. He is so kind and I respect his thought to broke the index finger's cycle. So I'm very very very sad now.
A vengeance for a lost beloved, and a desperate attempt to break free from the never-ending cycle, huh. Our two SoTC bosses are synonymous to our two main characters, after all. They all have their own theme song, too.
Well they got a good sized budget from Lobotomy Corporation. So I guess some money spend safely for now. And also HamHam PangPang I can safely assume also.
something cool about this song i noticed is that the last part of the song where they list down the values of e could also be interpreted as sweeper dialogue.Since the song is basically a life story of a depressed and suicidal city member its only natural that it ends the way a lot of peoples lives end in the city with their corpses being cleaned up by sweepers at the end of the night.
and the fact that the singer, in the first chorus, mentions that they wish to be included in the city's night... night of the backstreets... oh boy this is going to destroy me
Perhaps most terrifying is that the Prescripts come from the people’s will. I think it is based off the wish of all this random suffering being for some reason. That their deaths were not in vain. That their life had some meaning before it was cut short by cruel fate. But that wish coalesces into a mockery. That yes, there is a reason, but it’s foolish to even try to comprehend. That you do have meaning, but as a nameless cog who is to be disposed of once it fulfills its duty. That nothing you do is truly your own. This horrid city takes the hopes of the people, their wishes, their wants, their desires, and twists them into unending nightmares. Distorting is even a continuation of this. They’re the people who fully embrace the violent insanity that is the City. This is cosmic horror. Not tentacles, not ancient gods, but that certainly does help. It’s that you are nothing in this vast cosmos, and that your life can be ended with ease. But there may be hope, because even these old gods are insignificant. Perhaps they can be killed. But then when will the next set come along to damn us? The library is taking down the most powerful people of the City, dismantling the wretched hive, but is taking in all manner of innocents as well. Not even the Librarians are truly in charge of the damn thing.
When protagonist immunity and immortality is taken to extremes, the true cosmic horror isn't the Head. It isn't the Will of the City, who was hijacked by the true horror. It isn't the Abnormalities. It isn't the Fingers and Wings. It is literally the person across the computer out of the City's reality, commanding their Librarians to farm their guests for books.
@@mrex666productions7 in short, we are standing in for... something. And that something is worst than anything in the city. Are Carmen and Ayon still alive? Or is the library an existence separate from them. But your right. The real horror is us.
@@pootissandvichhere9135 Carmen has became some sort of omnipresent, distorting force and Ayin has became the Light itself, which also exists in a broken form in the City because of Angela's interruptions. Binah even said that "Ayin is watching over us", which means that the one controlling the Library itself is him. In other words, they are now omnipresent, omniscient walking disasters.
I was thinking the same thing. The index is one of the best and most interestingly written cosmic horrors I've ever seen. I think what really does it for me is that it's not necessarily an incomprehansable "being", but this mechanism that somehow just works.
@@ony806 My personal favourite part that renders this a bit more scary is that this method of writing Prescripts, if it was not made maliciously, was just a bout of madness; it utilizes each and every beat of the City, as it says, but instead of creating a sort of coherent wish of the populace, it's just an amalgamation that eventually transforms into the terrible things we see. See, a populace must have it's bad apples; it's how humanity works, and greed is inevitable in any human, so the Prescripts were doomed to fail since their conception, because the o ly way they wouldn't create evil is in a Utopian society with no sense of evil, which is impossible. This simply means that the Prescripts were either designed with a greater goal in mind(regulating people's lives, for example) before it was twisted, or their creator did not have enough foresight to figure out how terrible they'd become. So if it was malicious, it's scary I that whoever designed it manages to make anyone who figures out the truth go mad, believing that the City has no good in it if this is its will (Instead of factoring that the bad people's wishes impact the overall outcome) or if it was it malicious, it is scary in that the lack of foresight caused what is probably one of the most mind breaking, terrible creations of the City.
Well this song gives me sadness, it... fits him, I feel like you can't rise in emotion with this, it goes down, and down, and down... Descent infinitum
Descent infinitum is referencing the mathematical proof of an impossibility. Essentially it says for any number chosen, it would work for a smaller number, leading to an infinite descent, disproving a statement.
You know, when we saw the prescripts being written, I couldn't help but notice that the writing looked like *sheet music* ... I'M SURE THAT ISNT RELEVANT OR ANYTHING!

The thing I love about these boss themes is the feeling that the vocals give is related to how the character for the theme is: Tommerry - conflicted and upset about relationship and wanting to forget what happened Xiao - determination, doing it for him, her hope sparks fire Now this, it sounds so hollow and empty, thinking you fought to find your free will but there was never one to begin with. That's what it's telling for Yan. The very few verses were Prescripts.
@@Paradaimu imo i think its not just about Angela, each verse seems more like a conversation. It's shared thoughts for both Roland and Angela, in a few verses like the 5th verse, "sure I'll be your marionette" is similar to Roland agreeing with Angela that he can be her assistant. In the final "What's the colour of the electric sheep you see? And if you love me, can you love your everything too, for me?" is directed to Angela, because Angela is developing a close relationship with Roland and growing to like him more throughout and has considered his words more. (if you noticed she doesnt seem to act way too cold compared to before).
"Only thing that's left, is to work on following commands." "There's just, so much work, too much work to be done.." "Now it's time for another vendetta.." "It's hard to describe what I'm feeling at the moment." Imagine if there was a song with the lyrics mixed together.
Oh boy oh boy, I sure cannot wait for my weekly dose of being kicked in the feels and having sadness rammed down my throat while I am sitting in a fetal position on the floor! It's my favourite time of the week!
I didn’t think any BGM-changing fight could top the one we don't talk about . . . While I still don't think that's true yet, Yan's fight and music is an unquestionable tie. Never have I been happier to discover something through a fucking Item Asylum wiki article.
Something that this game and song has made me realize, humans have the capability of cruelty and committing heinous deeds. But, what separates us from hungry predators hunting down innocent prey is that we can be quite beautiful and amazingly kind too. Being human is having the capability of both cruelty and kindness, and both vendetta and forgiveness. Everyone has their own motivations and reasons to act the way they do, some of it is genuine and some of it is superficial, but it’s what makes all of our lives unique from each other. While Roland says cruelty is just how life in the city is, all the other important side characters also prove that love and kindness is just as strong as brutality.

i can now recite exactly 62 digits of e with ease
thanks mili
I only managed to go as far as 20 digits dangit! I must listen to this more.
Not to be rude, but there's actually 63 digits recited in the song, meaning you've actually memorized more than you thought you did!
warning: Math ahead! Proceed at your own risk
Each line has 4 digits, except for the first one which has 3. Let's pretend that the first line is normal for nice math. The lines come in bunches of four, meaning that there is roughly 16 digits per bunch. There are 4 bunches, so that leaves us with 64 digits recited. However, the second "digit" is actually a decimal point. 64 - 1 = 63 so that means that if you've memorized all of the digits in the song, you've actually memorized 63 digits. Congratulations! You can now flex on your math teachers or whomever you want because you know more of e than they do!
Not enough, I'm afraid.

"I desperately wish to be included in the city's night."
I love this line, but noticed it could be taken in two ways. One, wanting to be a star of the city, not by distortion classification, but as someone who shines brightly above all. Someone with influence to change the city for the better.
However, the city's true nights are full of bloodshed, and by the morning, they're forgotten as sweepers eat and sweep the remains of the night.
One one hand, it's a wish to have power and be a catalyst for change, while on the other, it's the person's death wish.
so true bestie
i didn't consider that second meaning at all! but there's a third way this line could be taken, which is actually pretty simple - it's a wish for freedom. after all, as mirinae insinuates in the hana association 1 cutscene, the stars of the city are the freest beings in the city
edit: HAHA whoops after i posted this comment i spent 15 straight minutes doing nothing but think about the themes in this game. i am so normal (lying)
@@sulliedhalcyon we are all insane in the pm fandom
In layman's terms: 'Give me glory, or give me death'
No, I think it's the complete opposite. The previous verse points out that the "neon stars" are "reflection of murky gutter sky", so the singer wants to be included in the city's night, escaping from those stars.
In the game context, the City's Stars are the freest beings because they are extremely strong and other people have to spin around them. This makes the road to the Star and everything around the Star full of bloodshed. So Yan, the singer, is the one in the night helping the one being oppressed by the City's Star, only to get distorted later. Furthermore, if you acquire Yan's book, he tells that because of the Index, he just wants to suicide to join his dead family. But then, the Index suddenly stops him and let him join as the Messenger instead. That's why he makes a small rebellion in the game.
The longer I let this one settle, the more I realize how much it's grown on me. It's probably my favorite song in the game right now.
I just think that faction in general is super cool and the fact Yan gets this banger of a song just makes it so much better.
Wouldnt call it "favorite song of the game".... however i very agree to the first part. The longer i listen to it the more i started to love it. Defeated this guy finally now. Everything that stands between me and finishing SotC is Xiao... no idea how to beat her... did everything else in stars of the city... but Xiao kinda seems undefeatable...
@@PriestessOfSlaanesh Have you beaten her? If you still haven't, I can give tips on how the fight works but then your victory might not be as satisfying, though. I myself would play every single player game blind, to enhance the experience.
@@PriestessOfSlaanesh her power nullification is your best friend.
@@PriestessOfSlaaneshfor anyone else going through the same hardship, the answer is Purple Tear
Must be sad for Angela to see Yan fall like this, seeing how they are not so different, wanting to deviate from the script given to them. RIP Yan, your kindness will always be remembered
Nah angela is heartless
It's still kinda different. If Angela would deviate from the script, her stage would reset again and again, until she performs her role flawlessly. When Yan deviated, his stage just went on as if nothing happened. Angela at least could see the result of her deviations, even if it's the same for a million years.
@@hellatze She used to be. She's been learning throughout the game. I mean, sure, she'll still step on others to reach her freedom(ungodly amounts of time spent underground, after all), but since ch6 started she's been questioning her actions more and more.
@@darkuscarlet I do hope she realizes it sooner than later, because as of now, her actions have led to the deaths of approximately 400.000 people.
Think about that number. 400000 people who had families, friends and loved ones. Those are all going to want revenge for their lost ones against Angela, not to mention most were Nest dwellers, so now she also has to evade the Nests' rage, and that's not mentioning Argalia and his ensemble, the Head...
All and all, she's built such a large coalition against her, that even if she obtains her freedom, ironically, it may be better for her to never leave the Library because she'll be lynched by half of the City. In her quest for freedom, she has become public enemy number one, and that never turns out well for whoever holds that title...
Besides, I do think she has showed some sympathies, but only for those with similar trauma (LoveTown, for instance), however, the more she goes on, the more greedy and less fazed she becomes, only caring to ask about how EGO and distortions work or to state that she's different from Yan or to comment on Prescripts. She's becoming more and more desensitized, and I think that's not going to go very well for her...
@@ahmedrizk300 Angela, unfortunately has almost no control over the situation, she's just the person on the surface. The real person killing other people is Ayin aka the Library or the person across the monitor.
We baited Phillip into the 8 O Clock Circus so he Distorts and used him to lure out the hapless association and decimated them all. We granted the invitations to Argalia and the Reverb Ensemble and they believed that they were using us. We intoxicated the Prescripts to enlighten people with a whiplash of absolute death, by baiting the Index Elites into the Library and getting them killed. We made Angela the cold and calculating person she is now, and we killed people ever since the day Enoch died. We are going to wake the people up and recover the 3 days stolen away from us. Therefore we became the ultimate cosmic horror of the City itself, using nothing but a pair of hands and a group of skillful and loyal warriors under our disposal.
I wish there were more songs like this, the synthy echo is such a vibe that I just can't find anywhere else.

mili's side project called AWAAWA also has a song that sounds a bit similar to this! it's called "WHAT ROBOTS NEED"

I love this song. Between its Cyberpunk feeling to the lyrics which describe Yan's futile attempt to ascend in the system to change it, only to realize in the end he was the one being played from the start. And realizing too late that an in omnipresent system as the City you can't change it from within.
Reminds me of Breaking the Habit for some reason.

@Joshua Gómez I think they look real
@Joshua Gómez I'm pretty sure at this point he's reciting real prescripts. They certainly look random and weird enough.
@@s.m.2523 His fake prescripts were real as well. They were planned by the prescripts, as his coworkers were given prescripts telling them that the new messenger Yan will deliver forged prescripts but to follow them anyway, and when Yan reads a prescript fresh from the printer it adds on to one of the ones Yan wrote.
“Go to any intersection and wave three times.”
“Go to any intersection and look for a person waving. Follow them home.”
@@anubis7457 That also shows how scary the prescripts are
You think it's no big deal to just wave in a random street but what you don't know is that it's actually a signal for someone else and you might just be a target by doing so
Also, consider the prescript "…. At work, cut the ear of the first person to fulminate against you."
You might think it's easy if you just told everyone that's your prescript, but there could be another person whose prescript is to fulminate against you (or get someone to fulminate against you)
I was also thinking about things regarding the prescripts
if The City is (almost?) omniscient, then why would it hand out prescripts to people it knows will end up failing?
Especially for the painter who misunderstood the prescript he was given
I think The City intentionally did that because it was letting Yan witness the executions in preparation for his breakdown at the end

These lyrics man, they are on point. Not only do parts read like prescripts, it also shows Yan’s view on the impossible prescripts that only get people killed. But if you really listen the song shows how Yan’s views have descended into the Distortion we fight.
“Don’t ask me why, but I desperately wish to be included in the City’s Night.”
Before, if he could’ve been a Star of the City then maybe, just maybe the freedom he get’s would allow Yan to make change, to fix the City from the inside as a part of the City’s Night. However this can also be taken as Nighttime in the Backstreets, a death wish as Yan has lost all hope since realizing “Everything he chose was by proxy.”
“I desperately wish it be noticed by the City’s eyes.”
Once again, a want for change, to have his voice be noticed and have an effect. But taken literally, being noticed by the City’s Eyes means being seen by the Beholders, and destroyed by the Head, once again a death wish.
Aspiration turned into hopelessness. A want for change turned into a want for death.
2:55
aspiration, huh
By the time I got to Yan today I honestly felt like my eyes had fully glazed over, doing several gimmicky abnormalities, reading and watching build guides to tackle them, farming for pages to get in attempts I could feel my mind slowly slipping into a blank state as I finally overcame the anxiety of undertaking his fight. I think that this song, because of the state I was in going into this fight (being so frayed thin by the trials of this game and long days that feel like they drag on and on as I find less of myself to be reflected in the mirror) struck such an absolute chord with me. Yan is wildly alone in this world, he is the bringer of misfortune and death- even if only as a messenger that doesn't have any real bearing in the prescripts he delivers, is stranded and alone in this world. In the blink of an eye he has become that of a messenger of the Index, his power is relative to that of a Star, but in truth he was no more than a man in the eyes of the city. Straddled between the desire to shatter his own shackles and prove that he has his own will, some semblance of self in a city that grinds the individual into dust- no more than a semi-autonomous cog in the ever unknowable machine of this wish granting city, and the ever crushing reality that he, much like everyone else in the city, is nothing. Merely an individual part within the machine of the city, that which reflects the wills and desire of the individual back onto themselves. His breakdown into a distortion of the city, as he is unable to withstand the burden of trying to fight against the overwhelming nature of the city, he's distorted and acquires his "true" form. A machine that enacts the cities will, at least what he believes the cities will, and his own will to be. Free-will? Desire? None of that matters. His future is cast aside for the immediate future, to receive orders from a force incomprehensible by him and carry them out blindly. His story is very clearly meant to analog that of Angela's, someone who is actively and despite the nature of her own existence, the job she was given, and even the will of the city, trying to assert herself as a legitimate being worthy of existing, acquiring her humanity and sense of free will. Yan is the side of the coin that has conceded, one who is unable to continue fighting with the stress of living and choosing for the self even when it seems like all of those choices are the machinations of an impossible machine, whereas Angela (while constantly having her desires to be a true human challenged, and even causing her reflect on the choices she's had to make, truly questioning the worth of herself and why she wants to be a human, if everything she's done, all the death and pain she's inadvertently and directly responsible for is even worth it) continues to progress despite the near constant blows she must undertake in order to acquire her dream, to face all the consequences of her actions directly and accept the blows that come with them. I relate too personally to Yan's story, and even his conclusion. The easy route is to accept it, to give in to the nature of the world, lower ones head and trudge through life until it ultimate crushes you within it's gnashing teeth; instead of choosing for your self what you seek and desire, to be told who you are, and the life you should live instead. To adhere to the heart of the world, bow your head to it's cruelty and enact that cruelty with the false supposition that because we as people don't really have our own wills, and that because reality is cruel there's no reason to consider what he's doing is wrong, because if one does- then they must accept that they themselves are cruel, and have committed unforgivable and damming actions against other innocent individuals; or frankly even consider the fact that we've done anything wrong. I think Yan, as a character, instantly became so memorable, tragic, and wonderful because of this track and the culmination of his story in a single fell swoop. Ruinas music has always been phenomenal and very enjoyable, but much of it (to me) has always fallen into the background of the fights or moments while I focused more intently on the story or stressing over the gameplay; but Children of the City jettisoned me from this state and I just sat there, listening. Yan desires to be a star of the city, to become a person who can enact their own will, but he doesn't. Instead he falls to cruel machinations, and becomes a monstrous amalgam of his notions of the star, to his desires of the city. I adore this track for so many reasons, especially because it's just infectious, but more so because of what it represents. Frankly, that can be extrapolated to every character that enters into the library, especially the rats who we encounter at the very beginning of the game. One may wish to be included in the cities night, but to do so one must acknowledge what the city truly is, who the self truly is, and what the desires the city reflects back onto the self truly are. I feel like I could keep writing and writing about this song in particular, but I'd rather just keep listening to it at this point as Yan's tragedy, and every one that fate cascades into the library, listlessly plays through my mind.
Amen

Yan's story makes me honestly wonder if the city itself is a distortion. Yan, as it's revealed, was handing out prescripts that he made himself, being just as gruesome and tame as regular prescripts. It's then revealed that the Proxies were given instructions to follow all of Yan's fake prescripts, as if the creator of the prescripts (the city itself) knew what Yan was doing the whole time. When Yan finally sees the creation of a prescript, it's to follow a person home who is seen waving at them. If you remember, one of Yan's fake prescripts that he gave out was for a man to be that waving person. Not only did the mind of the city know that Yan made fake prescripts, but it's also creating prescripts off of those fake prescripts. By all means, this must show some sentience within the city as an entity. I know that the weaver at the wheels said it's the will of the city, but what does that truly mean? Just how sentient is the city?
Yes I agree with this but after the game ends and everyone is released from the library do you think yan will be distorted or maybe the prescripts were wrong and yan will have ego
@@oggerts7121 Well, consider this. The reverb ensemble returned completely distorted and continued to fight, this time to the death rather than being turned into a book. If everyone who had been turned into a book was coming back, and had enough time to fight, then distorted Yan would have most likely began fighting again, as they had "no free will of their own". On the other hand, If Yan had been returned to the city, still distorted because that's irreversible. If this is the case, and Yan is still compliant with the Index, then perhaps they would make Yan more of a major proxy, now strictly enforcing the prescripts.
@@darklythedemon1111 I mean The City knew that Index Proxies and Proselytes will be returned. This is the reason it sent them to the Library. Every Prescript works out in Index's favor. By making Proxies be converted into book they were saved from being beaten by Reverberation Ensemble and dying forever. Instead they were booked waiting to be released in the end. Because The City predicted it. In the end Index got Yan as the loyal distortion and Proxies and Proselytes all alive. And we do not know what City's Will exactly. Is this a combined consciousness of all residents of the city? Is this a god which became real because people wanted to find a meaning in their lives? Or perhaps Moirai just doesn't know the answer and in reality Prescripts are made by some kind of machine which is able to predict actions of every person?
@@loremipsum2622 HOLY SHIT THE PRESCRIPT BAMBOOZLED THE FUCKING LIBRARY BY TURNING THEIR OWN PROXIES INTO BOOKS TO TURN INTO A DISTORTION, ITS A FUCKING WIN-WIN FOR THEM.
The city isn't a distortion because it's not a person, and it has existed for much longer than the Library and thus the Distortion phenomenon which is to begin with caused by the ending of Lobotomy Corporation. Now the prescripts themselves would definitely be an Abnormality, as many other similar things are - this is what Lobotomy Corporation extracted energy from, although naturally occuring abnormalities are of course rare and thus L Corp. turned to Cogito experiments as a way to make their own ones.
Outside of the game's angle of this song, you could consider this a song about not being able to cope with failure and falling into a spiral of depression. Staying comfortable with the person you used to see as worthless through the desire to persist and live for the sake of it, hurting/disappointing those close to you, "setting yourself free" only to realize everything you did was for someone else up to that point, so you have no real desire of your own, the mundanity of life and the repetition that comes with it, the expectations of marriage and having a stable life, realizing you're suffering and trapped in this cycle because of your own actions but unable to stop it, and the whole angle of how children see only the neon stars, while the sky is murky but you still want to be a part of it, instead of being stuck trapped in your worthless situation.
And reading the irrational number stopping you from ever "reaching" home and find peace for yourself, since you've lost your way already.

The flower on the lock and the Index symbol is a myosotis, also called "forget-me-not".

Poor Yan, dude was really cool trying to break the cycle, it's sad he instead became part of it.
And the worst thing is that the half-baked Seed of Light already went inside the Prescripts. They all blindly took it and died.

A subtle part to note about this song: all prescripts are stated in monotone, while Yan's inner desires are said emphatically.
However, this also goes for the lines where Yan is describing his fight AGAINST the prescripts and the results of him learning about things: "snippy scissors cut down the strings, I set myself free, only to figure out everything I chose was by proxy"
The prescripts both foretold what would happen when Yan learned the knowledge, but also forced him into that knowledge by giving him a prescript telling the location of the Weaver. The only thing Yan could have done to fight the prescripts was to fight the entire Index himself. He never had a chance.

Honestly, with this soft voice and cool beat, I would accept an endless ASMR of just reading e.
How to solve these prescripts:
1. Sleep for a total of 800 hours per day and then drink a liter of milk, warm up before you go play
ANS:
Go buy the weapon that olivier used against angela during his reception (the assassination device imbued with T-Corp singularity. Preferrably some lesser version). Rest is easy
2. Only eat, or write, or pull the trigger with your right hand. Only thing that's left is to work on following commands
ANS:
This is a pretty normal prescripts, not that hard to complete
3. In 30 minutes find a groom or bride, bonus if brunette. In 90 hours spill their insides, paint your room picturesque
ANS:
First part should be easy, since you can scour the internet (assuming they have one), for the second part of the prescripts, you can make them eat a lot of things, then make them puke it out later, and use it as your materials for painting (things like dragonfruit, or use artificial food colouring)
4. In 400,000 meters, turn right. Pick up a knife and stab a familiar warm body
ANS:
Pick up a knife, heat up some puddles of water, and stab the 'body' of water. Or you could just stab your thigh, and seek medical help afterward.
5. Do not go home until you finish reading the value of e: 2.71828182845904523536028747135266249775724709369995957496696762
ANS:
Now, this is the hardest one. You theoretically, can force yourself (perhaps using concept incenerator) to forget your home as a home, and to only remember it as a house. Now, you can go back to a house and live there, but its not your home anymore, because you don't recognize it as so. Tbh, this one is a 50/50, but its better than not being able to go home at all
As the prescript orders
The last one could probably completed by just changing your house. But the Prescripts could, in time, think of that as your new home, at which point you'll get punished (maybe).
Depending on how picky you think the prescripts are, using the tailor series of euler's number, you can actually read a value that equals e. Specifically, e is the sum of 1 divided by n factorial, where n starts at 0 and increments with each term to infinity and the first term (1 divided by 0!) equals 1.
The order is "(you) spill their insides" not make THEM spill their insides, unfortunately I think you have to do it yourself for that one 😔
You could interpret "e" or "value" as something else.

how has every mili song been heartbreaking with context, metaphorical without, and a bop either way?
While writing the song texts, context was a priority over the rythm and phrase lengths, it seems. That resulted in some phrases being a bit longer than rythm would suggest, but it was kinda countered by sticking two syllables in one. For example, in verse "Don't ask me why, I desperately wish to be included in the city's night", it was done twice. Takes a great articulation to make words still be legible, and she nailed it, I think

Perhaps most terrifying is that the Prescripts come from the people’s will.
I think it is based off the wish of all this random suffering being for some reason. That their deaths were not in vain. That their life had some meaning before it was cut short by cruel fate. But that wish coalesces into a mockery. That yes, there is a reason, but it’s foolish to even try to comprehend. That you do have meaning, but as a nameless cog who is to be disposed of once it fulfills its duty. That nothing you do is truly your own.
This horrid city takes the hopes of the people, their wishes, their wants, their desires, and twists them into unending nightmares. Distorting is even a continuation of this. They’re the people who fully embrace the violent insanity that is the City.
This is cosmic horror. Not tentacles, not ancient gods, but that certainly does help. It’s that you are nothing in this vast cosmos, and that your life can be ended with ease. But there may be hope, because even these old gods are insignificant. Perhaps they can be killed. But then when will the next set come along to damn us? The library is taking down the most powerful people of the City, dismantling the wretched hive, but is taking in all manner of innocents as well. Not even the Librarians are truly in charge of the damn thing.
When protagonist immunity and immortality is taken to extremes, the true cosmic horror isn't the Head. It isn't the Will of the City, who was hijacked by the true horror. It isn't the Abnormalities. It isn't the Fingers and Wings. It is literally the person across the computer out of the City's reality, commanding their Librarians to farm their guests for books.

Binah even said that "Ayin is watching over us", which means that the one controlling the Library itself is him. In other words, they are now omnipresent, omniscient walking disasters.
I was thinking the same thing. The index is one of the best and most interestingly written cosmic horrors I've ever seen. I think what really does it for me is that it's not necessarily an incomprehansable "being", but this mechanism that somehow just works.
@@ony806 My personal favourite part that renders this a bit more scary is that this method of writing Prescripts, if it was not made maliciously, was just a bout of madness; it utilizes each and every beat of the City, as it says, but instead of creating a sort of coherent wish of the populace, it's just an amalgamation that eventually transforms into the terrible things we see.
See, a populace must have it's bad apples; it's how humanity works, and greed is inevitable in any human, so the Prescripts were doomed to fail since their conception, because the o ly way they wouldn't create evil is in a Utopian society with no sense of evil, which is impossible.
This simply means that the Prescripts were either designed with a greater goal in mind(regulating people's lives, for example) before it was twisted, or their creator did not have enough foresight to figure out how terrible they'd become.
So if it was malicious, it's scary I that whoever designed it manages to make anyone who figures out the truth go mad, believing that the City has no good in it if this is its will (Instead of factoring that the bad people's wishes impact the overall outcome) or if it was it malicious, it is scary in that the lack of foresight caused what is probably one of the most mind breaking, terrible creations of the City.
Well this song gives me sadness, it... fits him, I feel like you can't rise in emotion with this, it goes down, and down, and down...
Descent infinitum
Reducto ad Infinitum
Descent infinitum is referencing the mathematical proof of an impossibility.
Essentially it says for any number chosen, it would work for a smaller number, leading to an infinite descent, disproving a statement.

And then drink a liter of milk, warm up before you go play
그리고 나서 우유를 1리터 마시고, 놀러 나가기 전 몸을 푼다
Only eat, or write, or pull the trigger with your right hand
먹는 것도, 쓰는 것도, 방아쇠를 당기는 것도 모두 오른손으로만 한다
Only thing that’s left is to work on following commands
이제 남은 한 가지는 명령을 잘 따르도록 애쓰는 것뿐
By the time you realize, you’ll be restrained to a desk
정신을 차리면 너는 어느새 책상에 묶여
And with your dreams on the floor you comply, eyes chained to the test
너의 꿈은 바닥에 널브러지고 눈은 시험지에 고정한 채로 명에 따르겠지
In thirty minutes find a groom or bride, bonus if brunette
30분 뒤에 신랑이나 신부를 찾는다, 머리카락이 흑갈색이면 더 좋다
In ninety hours spill their insides, paint your room picturesque
90시간 뒤에 그의 속을 쏟아낸다, 너의 방을 그림같이 칠한다
Now it’s time for another vendetta

Pick up a knife and stab a familiar warm body
칼을 집어 하는 일 없는 낯익은 자를 찌른다
Learned to fight before I knew love or bitterness of coffee
사랑이나 커피의 씁쓸함 따위를 알기 전에 싸우는 법부터 익힌 나는
Snippy scissors cut down the strings, I set myself free
날이 선 가위로 실을 싹둑 잘라 자유의 몸이 되었지만
Only to figure out everything I chose was by proxy
내가 했던 모든 선택이 남의 의지에 따른 것이란 걸 알고 말았죠
As we suckled upon the nine mm pacifier
어릴 적 우리는 9mm 구경 공갈 젖꼭지를 빨며
Swallowing the fact that other than to expand we had no purpose
우리에게 확장 말고는 아무런 목적이 없다는 사실을 삼켰고
As my everburning will to stay afloat backfires
살아남기 위해 타오르던 내 의지가 역효과를 낳으며
I now know I must be comfortable being who I considered worthless
지금 나는 내가 쓸모없다고 여겼던 사람이 되는 데 안주해야 하네요
Follow the city’s ribbon

To a heart nobody seems to listen

ANOTHER MILI SONG WE ARE SO BLESSED
The thing I love about these boss themes is the feeling that the vocals give is related to how the character for the theme is:
Tommerry - conflicted and upset about relationship and wanting to forget what happened
Xiao - determination, doing it for him, her hope sparks fire
Now this, it sounds so hollow and empty, thinking you fought to find your free will but there was never one to begin with. That's what it's telling for Yan. The very few verses were Prescripts.
Don’t forget Philips despair in And Then is Heard No More
And OP too. It's Angela theme - gamble for the freedom.
Only two songs left and I know whom they will be...
@@Paradaimu imo i think its not just about Angela, each verse seems more like a conversation. It's shared thoughts for both Roland and Angela, in a few verses like the 5th verse, "sure I'll be your marionette" is similar to Roland agreeing with Angela that he can be her assistant. In the final "What's the colour of the electric sheep you see?
And if you love me, can you love your everything too, for me?" is directed to Angela, because Angela is developing a close relationship with Roland and growing to like him more throughout and has considered his words more. (if you noticed she doesnt seem to act way too cold compared to before).
"Only thing that's left, is to work on following commands."
"There's just, so much work, too much work to be done.."
"Now it's time for another vendetta.."
"It's hard to describe what I'm feeling at the moment."
Imagine if there was a song with the lyrics mixed together.

So That No One Will Cry..
I like how the song says "noticed by the city's night" but the lyrics are "included in the city's night"
Only on the second chorus.
And it says "Noticed by the City's Eye" in that one
So... uh, "well yes but actually no"?
It says both of those lyrics,just in diffirent parts
If you listen to just the music, it sounds peaceful, and it sounds almost like a lullaby.
But the lyrics...

I didn’t think any BGM-changing fight could top the one we don't talk about . . . While I still don't think that's true yet, Yan's fight and music is an unquestionable tie. Never have I been happier to discover something through a fucking Item Asylum wiki article.

*Roland choked on a sandwich from Ham-ham-pang-pang*
Something that this game and song has made me realize, humans have the capability of cruelty and committing heinous deeds. But, what separates us from hungry predators hunting down innocent prey is that we can be quite beautiful and amazingly kind too. Being human is having the capability of both cruelty and kindness, and both vendetta and forgiveness. Everyone has their own motivations and reasons to act the way they do, some of it is genuine and some of it is superficial, but it’s what makes all of our lives unique from each other.
While Roland says cruelty is just how life in the city is, all the other important side characters also prove that love and kindness is just as strong as brutality.
