Part 34: *Mute, day 2 - Oh Eun-a

Still looking healthy.





Last set for the day.



Oh Eun-a - Old *Mute, Korean, February 27, 4045





...um, like, I'd expect the same thing if I spoke out of turn to a superior!



Huh?





Wait... that can't be true.



...what...?



That can't be right. Emperor Taejo was above that!





...wait, they can't be talking about...





...this isn't right! I don't believe this!



...wait... Old *Mute could do that? I could never have used the root password... I'm not capable!



She's... she's really conspiring against Emperor Taejo...?!



...wait... this can't be right...







Queen Eun-a was my friend in the past... I'd never have conspired against her!



She was my friend! She was my mistress! Like, she even told me herself... this must be a lie, it doesn't make sense!



Politics makes strange bedfellows - Heo Seo-yeong, Korean, March 5, 4045





...I just... I don't get it, if Old *Mute put Emperor Taejo into power, why would she want to take it away...



...this isn't right...



...respecting elders is most important, but... this isn't...





Ugh...



No!



...no, I'd never... she couldn't...













This isn't right! This isn't right at all!



All right, *Mute, here we go.

The Death of *Mute - Old *Mute, Korean, March 9, 4045





She... this can't...



...did I really do these things...?



...I...



...why would anyone threaten someone like Queen Eun-a...





But...



She'd never say something like that!



...hitting a man? She'd even...?!





This isn't right at all! Seo-yeong did that, not him!



...she must be lying...





...no...



...like, why would the past version of me lie about this...



...I...





...there's no way that would make sense, is there...



This... really happened, then...



What...? I...



...Old *Mute... you coward! How could you?!





...no... you manipulative bitch, how could you say something like that...



...how could you take advantage of our lieutenant's feelings like that?!



Is that why she employed a woman? Because she'd be easier to manipulate...?!



...this can't...



...no...



...they lied about it... they planned the lie all along...





But...



I... I thought she... I trusted her... she said she was my friend...



...I know society was wrong, but... that can't be the way...!



...Old *Mute, you idiot... this is all your own fault!



If you'd just listened to him... you wouldn't...



...you'd still me alive...



You idiot! You stupid manipulative bitch!



...I... I... I... I can't do that...



I... I... so that's the whole story...
...I feel...
...I feel like I'm not okay. I'm really not okay. I don't know how to parse all this.
Um... Like, I think...
...I need some time to think this through.
Please, turn off the power for the night... I need to be alone, okay?



Thanks... I just need some time alone, to think things over, okay?
I'll just let you go ahead and save your data first.
...okay... all done.
Well, farewell...
