Inclination: A stubborn 'idealist'

there is no turning back for Luca

My name is Luca Balsa, and I am the student you spoke with at the Laiden Art and Industry Exhibit the other day. I could hardly restrain my excitement and admiration after meeting you, and so I decided to write you a letter.

Medium: Energy must collide in order to transmit.

I refuse to give up; after all, my family and I know full well the price of dedicating ourselves to science.

My prior investigation into the electrical mechanisms within the arena was not in vain. It proved that any price was worth paying, as long as one did not succumb to a fatal situation, especially for someone who had long ago been left with nothing to lose.

Overshoot: The smallest change, the greatest deviation.

I have some modest inventions, but they aren't much. But my long-cherished wish, my grand invention, will soon be complete. When that time comes, I'll show you (`⊗﹁◓´)＜ Soon... I'm sure of it... (TL: @/mayousailor)

Many things will happen to you in the future, but don't leave behind regrets okay? (`⊗﹁◓´)＜ Enjoy your life. Got it? (TL: @/fc_idv)

I've always wanted to immerse myself in research for the things I long for. I hope such lengthy research work won't take away one's humor.

When you've prepared so much, I can't just say thank you, can I? (`⊗﹁◓´) How can I thank you for this? (TL: @/fc_idv)

Hate keeps a man alive, and love sets him free

The electric shocks triggered by the mechanisms have further exacerbated my memory problems, making it difficult for me to recall events before coming here.

Luca Balsa used to be considered friendly and too trusting by most people. No one knows where he came from or has seen his family, but clearly, he's well educated. He has a tremendous sense of pride and he is curious about all sorts of scientific inventions.

It's no easy task connecting the circuits, but it's what I do best!

He seemed like a well-educated fellow, but his attire was enough to tell me he was anything but a good person

Test Indicators: high intelligence, conceited, stubborn/paranoid

I used to take pride in being called 'Lorenz Jr.' What a fool I am! I don't want to and never will be him!

If you're lucky, touching it with your bare hands it will make you itch all over. If not, you might die.

Frequent electrical stimulation caused permanent brain damage in Subject 10-0-2

In my days of imprisonment, all I did was stare at the walls.

The Energy Corporation has taken resources from the snowy ruins and has infiltrated into each of the logistics departments. Yet he's one of the few exceptions

A diary: I've finally become a student of Lorenz with a manuscript as consideration. But one day he'll realize that I'm worth much more than those manuscripts.

When used properly, this tiny part allows one to safely operate a million volts

I will forget... not only inventions... also important encounters... (`⊗﹁◓´) A man like that deserves to be alone, doesn't he? (TL: @/fc_idv)

Unfortunately, my interests are more aligned with those of my horrible father. Despite the unhappy memories, we ended up on the same path anyway. But it matters not. We're achieving something great - it's him who's insignificant

Someone who doesn't mind [instinctive danger] and tries to investigate phenomena, one who would be called strange by people. (`⊗﹁◓´)＜ That is... a scientist. (TL: @/fc_idv)

In my memory, disclosing my intentions was not so difficult at that time. "A difficult path,' the man continued, 'but very good, you can listen in on the physics conference every Wednesday.' Afterward, I never received another 'very good' from him.

(When trying to find the code for the Duke's combination lock during the Crystal Palace event) Oh, that reminds me! Does the Duke have any... special preferences, by any chance? Like a favorite dish, perhaps? Or maybe... a favorite number?

These functional deficits, together with what he went through, contributed to Subject 10-0-2's performance and position at the beginning of the experiment, such as his extreme disgust with acts of betrayal

That Tridactylidae! Schistocerca! Geometridae! Katydid!

Soon, the ritual they speak of will begin, and I have no time left for hesitation.

(`⊗﹁◓´)＜ Nothing to lose from studying AC sinusoidal waveforms. (TL: @/mayousailor)

I do have vague memories of that invention. As soon as I first saw it, I knew that I'd never be able to love anything else.

It's time we call it quits, be it this journey or the chill that's been harassing me my entire life. My guide would do anything to get me out of here, yet 'she' forced me to make a choice - perform my pledge or remedy my destiny

Alva Lorenz, the renowned inventor, the first person to push for the 'perfect machine,' and also my teacher, is actually a downright hypocrite!

The moment he takes off that robe and gown may be when he realizes that the path toward the truth isn't always an arduous journey

Heheh, heh… Your concern and suchlike are futile, unneeded. I know my own body best. It’s just that I can’t stop myself, even in spite of knowing better. (TL: @/mayousailor)

A diary: I found 3 drafts in my father's bookcase. They are the work of a genius, but there seem to be some pages missing. It doesn't matter anyway. I'll finish it one day.

There's no fairness in this world, only wins and losses.

I may be in a prison uniform, but I'm not imprisoned

If you want to look down on my incoherent self as shallow, you can look down on me all you want... (`⊗﹁◓´)＜ Go ahead... Go and call me a sinner (TL: @/fc_idv)

Just because I can play the piano doesn't mean I'm any good. (`⊗﹁◓´) It's just a hobby. You have your own hobbies too don't you? (TL: @/fc_idv)

Ms. Lockheart? Is something on your mind?

The words in this manuscript are quite immature - naive delusions of grandeur written by mere children.

Subject 10-0-2 showed higher than primitive levels of compliance and altruism in their collaboration, and this temporary appearance caused some adverse interference with the executioner's judgement

Mutual Feelings: Time can't change everything.

Stubborness can't move the truth, yet the truth is always unearthed by those who are stubborn

An anecdote: An aristocrat in town lost his entire fortune on failed investments in emerging industries. He had to auction off his wife's dowry to pay off his debts. His wife died of anger. His son couldn't forgive him and left.

The youtful aura he gives off isn't the only exciting thing about him
