Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Obsidian Festival!
D.D.D.
Are you all having a great time?!
Audience
(Thunderous cheering)
D.D.D.
What a warm reception! But let me tell you something - you don't know anything about the true charm of the Obsidian Festival yet!
D.D.D.
Tonight, all the musicians that have been invited here will come together to bring you a feast for your senses!
D.D.D.
One main stage. Four large stages. Twelve small stages. Forty musicians from all kinds of genres will keep the show going for eighteen straight hours until the sun rises tomorrow!
D.D.D.
Tell me now, ARE YOU READY?!!
Audience

Schwarz
...Ceylon told me about the situation with the volcano.
Schwarz
You tampered with the station's data and even accused Miss Ceylon of spreading false rumors.
Cronin
That's because we both know. We both know about what Herman did!
???
Just say it then, if you already know.
???
Go on, Cronin. But make sure to also tell them what you did when I was 'out on business.' Tell them everything.
Ceylon
F-Father...?!
Cronin
What are you doing here?!
Herman
Surprised to see me, Cronin?
Herman
After I banned obsidian mining, there has still been a steady influx of fresh obsidian into the market.
Herman
The mining team has been seen many times at the volcano's entrance, but nobody reported anything to me.
Herman
The resources they mined would be transferred numerous times before finally arriving at the City Hall's abandoned warehouse.
Herman
Despite the fact that I set aside funding to provide support for the various Oripathy patients who came to Siesta, I learned that they were actually suffering from discrimination throughout the city.
Herman
Does this news surprise you?
Cronin
Tsk...
Herman
Well, hearing about it made my blood boil!
Herman
In order to find out the truth, I pretended to leave the city and asked Schwarz to investigate for me.
Hellagur
Looks like just investigating these records on the relevant personnel was enough.
Ceylon
Mister Hellagur, you're all safe!
Herman
What a pity, Cronin.
Herman
Originally, I was not opposed to sharing things with you, but you were too impatient.
Cronin
Me? Impatient?
Cronin
Everything I did was for the sake of this city! You were the one who taught me that!
Cronin
What happened to the Baru family ten years ago, the collapse of the television station eight years ago, and the way you persuaded...
Cronin
Or, should I say, 'annexed?' Yes, the way you annexed the Tarak Tribe. I know all about these things.
Cronin
Everything I've done, I learned from you...
Cronin
Exploit, and abandon. Use any means necessary. The ends justify the means.
Cronin
Do you know all the sweat, blood, and tears I've poured into this shabby hole? And what did I get in return?
Cronin
We worked so hard to mine the volcano and finally managed to improve our situation, but what did you do? You squandered it all to subsidize those incurable Infected!
Cronin
If that's going to be the case, I'd prefer an eruption! All I need is to protect the true value of Siesta, and then I shall rise once again!
Herman
True that I've done many things in the past. But never have I wagered the fate of Siesta.
Herman
What do you think about the lives of the miners and researchers, about the lives of everyone living in this city?
Herman
Cronin, you're fired.
Cronin
Ahahahahaha! You senile fool, I wouldn't be so sure about that!
Cronin
Thanks to your delusional prattling, my men have all assembled!
