Vieux Savant
Chapitre I

“We called him Savant-
Actually... Nobody knew his real name, for nobody truly knew him.
The first time I'd ever met him was... At the old memorial park… Outside of the city...
I'll be sure to... Tell you everything I remember about that strange night. I greeted him, as I do all travelers...”

"Bonjour!"

“Such a gloomy face you have, Madame... Is something troubling you?
I would hate to impose, but I have made a few observations that lead to this conclusion...
Today…you went around the fountain 12 times…
That’s around 904 steps… Exactly 377 meters…
Interesting, isn't it? The meaning of the numbers, I mean...
I have a foolish proposal… But... What say you?
If you’re fine with it… Then I’d like to show you my art. There is a message to be learned... From it.

Premièrement there was no one → that makes zéro…
Moi appeared here → that makes un…
Then toi appeared → that makes deux…
Just within this simple formula ← lies the truth…
Closing yourself off from even such simple equations; then there are bound to be futures that you don’t yet realize…”

“I did not understand the meaning in his words...
I was under the impression that he had the audacity to hit on me, even!
However... It would be an entire week...
Before I would see the man again, this time in the hall. Once again, I politely greeted him.”

Salute, how are you today Monsieur?

“Young Madame…
Have you found any solutions to your trivial pursuits from the other day?
It’s been one week since our parting…168 hours…
10080 minutes…and 604800 seconds…
Yet another 26 seconds have passed since I've started talking…
I’d like to show you my art today as well...

The horizon of morning and night → that makes deux…
The grave where the Roi of temps sleeps → that makes trois…
The glittering eternal stardust → that makes cinq…
Even within simple prime numbers ← lies the truth...
Closing yourself off from even such simple equations; then there are bound to be futures that you don’t yet realize…”

“At this point...
I began to realize, what was actually going on...
His riddles had deeper meaning than I could understand at this time...
I wondered, if I could decipher them at all...”

Vieux Savant
Chapitre II

“It was strange, that I did not see him again for some time...
He seemed to know more about me than I'd imagined...
But... I'd never even told him my name...
Regrettably, times changed, for the worse, but still...
The next time I saw him, I was at my weakest...”

“Madame, you have larmes all over your dress...
I would not wish to appear as a bad person, but I have made these observations and must inform you...
You have cried for thirty seven minutes...
That’s somewhere around… Thirty minutes more than average...
If you cry another six minutes... Your eyes will bruise, another ten and they will ache for a week.
Another foolish proclamation… But... May I ask your name?
You have seen my art twice now, but I still know not your name.

“My name... It's... Juliana.”

“Aaah... Juliana, was it? Shall I factor your sadness?
Shall I find the highest common factor of your happiness? My conclusion is that there are issues with a relationship.
Well, if this is true, I ask you wipe your tears…Come now, Juliana…And stand…Because your path still continues.
Would you, once more, listen, for my art must be spoken once more...

No matter what, le Moulin rouge continues to spin.
Guiding the inevitable vie et la mort.
La belle dreams you both weaved together.
Inside of your heart, the flickering of la flamme
The fools would reach out le bras invisible…
Yearning to hold le bijou of vie.
Even with the maudit.
Le conte du amour et haine.
Le lien that strengthened your heart.
Eventually... Le vieux savant appears.
The hidden message... Does it elude you still?
Even within complex futures ← lies the truth...
Closing yourself off from even such important equations; then there are bound to be futures that you must soon realize…”
