一篇宫廷乐师的手记

　已经入夜了，直到三天约定到期前的最后这几个小时，房间里才终于传出了的琴音。
　那不是连续的篇章，每演奏几秒或十几秒，跃动的音符就被突然掐断。在室息的安静中，我的灵魂被攜住息在半空，直到音符又突兀地续上来。
　即便一直断断续续，这也是我这辈子听过最勾人心弦的曲子了：它让我简祥在一个难以言喻的世界……抛下世俗的束缚和规矩，只剩自由，为所欲为……
　(笔记逐渐模糊)
…
　就在刚才，送食物的佣人惊恐地从房间里逃了出来，嚷着看到的异象：一张宫廷戏剧的魔鬼面具掉在地上张牙舞爪……安东尼奥大师像被牵线一般批在墙上吊起了手脚……琴弦和琴弓自己在他身前演奏……
　上帝为证！我绝不相信他的胡言乱语，更不会去一探究竟。我怎么能因一时好奇打断大师的创作？
　等等，等等！琴音，琴音完全停止了ーー这令人匪夷所思的杰作终于完成了？
　我再不奢望自己能达到那位大师一样“为才华所累”的境界，只是卑微地企盼着能有幸欣赏这支作品的完整演出……

A Note from the Court Maestro

It is already nighttime. It was not until the final hours of our three-day agreement that the sounds of the violin finally emerged from the room.
It was not one continuous arrangementーevery few seconds， the lively notes would suddenly come to an abrupt stop. In the suffocating silence， it felt as though my very soul was suspended in the air， only returned to my body once the music resumed.
Despite the sporadic pauses， it was the most evocative song that I have ever heard. It gave me license to wander in an indescribable world， to cast off the shackles of the world and its rules and do as I please in absolute freedom.…
(The notes become too blurred to read)
…
Just now， the servant who delivered his food ran out of the room in fright， screaming about the sight they had just beheld: a menacing demon mask dropped on the floor… Master Antonio being pulled to the wall by his hands and feet， as though drawn by invisible strings… And his beloved violin， playing itself before his body…
With God as my witness， I have never heard such nonsense! I refuse to believe such an outlandish farce， much less humor it with investigation. After all， how could I possibly interrupt the master's work out of petty curiosity?
Wait， wait， wait! The music... It has completely stopped... Does this mean his masterpiece is finally complete?
I could never reach the heights of a musical virtuoso such as Master Antonio.
I can only hope that someday， the master will grace me with the honor of listening to his finished work...

杂乱乐谱背面的留言

亲爱的安德莉亚：

　　数月未见，最近还好吗？
　　曾经，我们无数次庆幸那首咏叹调能拨开你耳中的迷障。比起那些听力健全、自诩高雅之人，你更能与我共鸣琴弓下书写的文字，琴弦中讲述的语言，乐谱上镌刻的回忆。
　　“我想你，亲爱的。
　　当阳光在海面跳跃时，
　　当月光照耀在清泉时，
　　当星光点缀在银河时……”
　　琴弦跳动，你的声声唱词敲开了我的心门，填满了所有空间。
　　而如今，这扇门再一次关闭，我成为了那个失聪者，闭耳塞听。

　　你知道，我拥抱欢愉，避畏苦难。
　　你也知道，我向来忌惮那首曲子，拼尽所有意志抵御着它的魅惑；
　　即便你百般恳求，甚至以分手相胁，我也绝不会……也绝不该……
　　……我！我还是妥协了。
　　当再次演奏那首独弦曲，身体的每个骨骼，都不再属于自己了。沉浸在魔鬼之音的海洋中，苦涩腥咸的旋律刺痛着五官，模糊了所有感官的边界ーー
　　为琴弦所俘获的傀儡，再度沉浸于销金窟的欢愉和久违的快感中。
　　直到远处的哭喊穿透了一切——眼看着挥砍的琴弓随着惯性渐渐摆落，我心中恐惧和后悔才阵阵袭来。
　　瑟缩在一片狼藉中的你哭泣着逃出了房间。
　　阳光、月光、星光……在那一刻，所有音符都暗淡无光。
　　…………
　　我为你受到的伤害感到抱歉。
　　我为发生的一切感到抱歉。
　　我为我所做的和没有做的感到抱歉。

　　那天之后，我四处奔波演奏，在人海中寻觅那双温润的目光，那声心中共鸣的天籁。
　　……但你没有出现。
　　直到一位自称剧院老板的人将我指向欧利蒂丝庄园：
　　“在这里，你不仅可以见到她，还可以永远摆脱他。”
　　这是一场没有退路的赌局，但这次也绝不会血本无归。
　　我深信你也在期待这段故事的续写，抑或是，一段与前奏相匹配的尾奏——
　　这首曲子就名为《安德莉亚》。

爱你的，
安东尼奥

A Message on the Back of a Messy Sheet Music

My dearest Andrea,

It's been months since we last saw each other. How have you been?
There were numerous times when we were grateful that the aria managed to overcome the barrier in your ears. Unlike those with normal hearing and self-claimed elegance, you were able to resonate with me over the words written by the bow, the language spoken among the strings, and the memories carved by the music sheets.
"I miss you, my dearest.
As the sunlight danced upon the ocean,
as the moon shone over the clear spring,
as the stars embellished the galaxy..."
As the strings quivered, your voice opened the door to my heart with the lyrics, filling up every inch inside.
Yet today, the door was closed once again and I became the deaf who wouldn't hear about anything happening in the world.

As you know, I am an indulgent man.
As you also know, I feared that song and used all my willpower to resist its charm.
No matter how much you pleaded or even threatened to break up with me, I would never… and I should never...
...Alas! I gave in.
As I played that single-string song once more, all the bones in my body no longer belonged to me. Caught in the riptide of the devil's music, the bitter and briny melody pierced my face and blurred the lines between my senses.
The puppet, captured by the strings, was once again seduced by the long-lost joy and pleasure of gambling in the Casino.
It wasn't until the distant cries penetrated everything ー seeing how the bow gradually came swinging down with inertia, that my heart burst with fear and regret.
Crouching in a mess, you cried and escaped from the room.
The sunlight, the moonlight, the starlight... At that moment, all the music notes became dark.
...
I'm sorry for the trauma you endured.
I'm sorry for everything.
I'm sorry for what I've done and didn't do.

After that day, I performed in different places in search of your warm gaze and voice, which resonated with me in the crowds.
...Yet you never showed up.
Until someone who claimed to be the owner of a theater directed me to the Oletus Manor,
"In here, not only will you see her, you can even get rid of 'him' once and for all."
There is no turning back with this gamble, yet I'm sure I'll get what I came for.
I truly believe you're looking forward to the next chapter of this story, or perhaps, a coda that complements the prelude.
This song is called "Andrea."

With love,
Antonio

安东尼奥的一页实验档案

编号：3-1-3号
姓名：安东尼奥

【测试标记】
1、表演型人格
2、被操控
3、自我陶醉

【测试倾向】
被操纵的“提线木偶”

【测试结果】

1、整体评价：
  在遭遇危机时，3-1-3习惯于启动自我的防御机制——将身体交与他所信任的、诞生于童年经历的“恶魔”。尽管这有助于保护自己并度过危机，但事实上体内的“恶魔”越来越难以控制。实验过程中，在药物的作用下，3-1-3终于被“恶魔”占据。

2、流程说明：
  实验初期，3-1-3并未表露自身到访庄园的明确目的。甚至其他实验对象在实验场地中的活动，似乎也未能引起3-1-3的关注。由于3-1-3习惯于依赖“恶魔”，他对其他有强烈信仰的实验对象采取警惕态度——虽然3-0-1和3-1-4主动与其攀谈，但3-1-3对实验场地中的3-？-2和3-1-5更有好感，尽管3-？-2看上去更加落魄。绝大多数时间，3-1-3都将自己紧锁在客房中，并表现出对酒精的强烈依赖——他在房间内不时发出诡谲的笑声，在实验期间鲜有神志完全清醒的时刻。
  预先准备的掺杂药物的红酒起到了重要的推进作用。晚宴上，3-？-2和3-1-4的药性先后发作;随后是独居客房的3-1-3，他摘下随身携带的面具，其肢体开始不自然地蜷曲，身上的肌肉呈现出一种僵硬、紧绷的状态，这种变化显然并非出于3-1-3自身的意志；最终，3-1-3表现出与其先前承诺相悖，且超出实验预期的行为——他走出房间，并开始演奏G弦独奏曲。由于药物的过量服用，3-1-3的演奏无法停下，直到四肢弯折扭曲，最终筋疲力尽。这一服药后的反应与其他实验对象相比具有较大差异性。
  作为提前安排在实验场地内的“工作者”，3-0-1在场面不受控的情况下将3-1-3抬走。期间仍有一个有趣的现象与预期不符，值得记录：在搬运时，3-1-3挣扎着双臂，拒绝其他人对其身体的触碰。由于“恶魔”的成功占据，直到他和他的小提琴被装进已经准备好的木匣子里，3-1-3都没有停止手中的演奏，甚至匣子内再次响起了演出前的笑声。

3、分析总结：
  本组实验对象均因后天环境下遭受沉重打击，造成了自我力量的削弱，从而导致人格结构的失衡。本次实验旨在测试在该种人格下，不同类型对象对药物产生的反应，并对结果进行定性分析。“精湛”的演技，是本组实验对象的核心特征——有的在舞台上获得财富与荣誉，有的则在黑暗中令人丧魂失魄。
  3-1-3的人格形成与年幼时的经历有关——不断被音乐侵蚀身体与精神，这份练琴经历让3-1-3成为专注的大师，但也让他成了除小提琴以外一无所长的、容易被侵蚀的对象。成名后，他却又为了能获得更多的音乐灵感，不惜放弃自己的身体，直到失去对身心的控制权，成为任由“恶魔”摆布的工具。
  3-1-3来到庄园的真实目的有待考究，因为初到庄园的他并没有急于寻找邀请函中提到的目标，或是像其他实验对象一样，对庄园有所探求。
实验早期，3-1-3表现出对其他表演者的不屑，但也同时表现出无法拒绝“恶魔”占据的前兆；在药物的作用下，3-1-3终于向“恶魔”张开双臂，成为了无限弹奏的提线木偶。
  3-1-3的实验结果证实了药物对于调控人格结构起到的积极的促进作用，在3-1-3的实验中，服用药物有助于激发抑制已久的超我人格，但有关使用量具体数值的定量分析仍需后续确认。
  药物的过量服用及最终的失控导致了3-1-3的出局。因组内其他实验对象均发生类似的情况，本组实验未到达游戏开启环节并整组判定失败，后续将寻找新的第三组实验对象。

A Page from Antonio's Experiment File

Serial Number: 3-1-3
Name: Antonio

[Test Indicators]
1. Histrionic personality disorder
2. Under manipulation
3. Narcissistic

[Test Tendencies]
A ""puppet"" being manipulated

[Test Results]

1. Overall Assessment:
　When threatened, 3-1-3 has a tendency to activate a peculiar defense mechanism: entrusting his entire body to a ""demon"" from his youth, one that he fully trusts. While this does afford him enough protection to avoid danger, the so-called ""demon"" in his body is becoming harder and harder to control. During the experiment, this ""demon"" was coerced into taking over 3-1-3's body through medication.

2. Experiment Process
　During the initial phase of the experiment, 3-1-3 refused to disclose his reasons for arriving at the Manor. He also seemed entirely uninterested in the activities of the other test subjects. Due to his overreliance on his ""demon,"'" he was extremely wary of other test subjects who possessed powerful convictions. Despite being consciously approached by 3-0-1 and 3-1-4, he showed much more affability towards 3-?-2 and 3-1-5, ever when 3-?-2 apeared quite distressed. 3-1-3 spent the majority of his time locked in his room and showed signs of severe alcohol dependency. Strange laughter can be heard on occasion from within his room, and he was rarely sober during the course of the experiment.
　A bottle of laced wine ultimately provided the necessary data. During a dinner party, 3-?-2 and 3-1-4 felt the effects of the drugged wine first. 3-1-3, who had already retired to his room, removed his trademark mask and began to exhibit strange symptoms. His limbs curled unnaturally, his muscles stiffened, and his entire body appeared to be in an extremely tense state; this clearly did not happen out of 3-1-3's own volition. In the end, 3-1-3's behavior stood in stark contrast with his previous statements and far exceeded any of the experiment's expectations. Shortly after exiting his room, he began to play a solo arrangement on the G string. His heavy consumption of laced wine resulted in his overmedication: he played frantically and without rest, and did not stop until his limbs contorted and ultimately went limp from exhaustion. His reaction to the drugs was notably different from that of any other test subject.
　As a ""staff"" who had been placed on-site in advance, 3-0-1 was forced to carry 3-1-3 away when the situation grew out of control. Worthy of noting is that at this time, yet another interesting and unexpected phenomenon occurred: while being transported away, 3-1-3 flailed his arms in a desperate struggle and refused to let anyone touch him. As the ""demon"" had taken full control of his body, 3-1-3 continued playing his violin with no indication of stopping; even after he and his instrument were forced into a pre-arranged wooden casket, he refused to stop playing. From within the casket, that same strange laugh could be heard ringing out.

3. Analysis and Conclusion:
　Due to the nature of their experimental environment, every test subject in this group suffered substantial damage to their ego and sense of agency; this resulted in an imbalance of their personality structures. The purpose of this experiment was to observe and analyze the reactions of various test subjects with similar personalities while under the influence. The defining characteristic of this test group is that each subject possesses ""efined"" acting skills. Some found fame and fortune in the spotlight, while others had their souls crushed in obscurity.
　3-1-3's personality was shaped largely by his childhood experiences. With both body and mind engrossed in music, he devoted his entire youth to rigorous practice and became a master of the violin. However, he was left completely incapable in all other regards and thus could be easily corrupted. Even after acquiring fame, his desire for even greater musical inspiration led him to sacrifice his entire being, and he became a puppet at the mercy of a ""demon.""3-1-3's true purpose for coming to the Manor still requires investigation. Upon his arrival, he was neither eager to find the person mentioned in his invitation, nor willing to explore the Manor like the other test subjects.
　In the early phases of the experiment, 3-1-3 showed disdain for the other performers, but was also unable to fully resist his ""demon's"" possession. Under the influence of the aforementioned drugs, 3-1-3 finally embraced his ""demon"" with open arms and became a violin-playing puppet who could perform indefinitely.
　3-1-3's experimental results confirm the efficacy of this drug in regulating personality structures. During 3-1-3's trials, the drug helped to stimulate his long-suppressed superego, but a quantitative analysis on the appropriate dosages still requires confirmation.
　A drug overdose and a subsequent loss of control resulted in 3-1-3's disqualification from the experiment. Due to similar outcomes with the other subjects, none of them were able to reach the game phase of the experiment, and the entire group was deemed a failure. A third group of new test subjects must be acquired in the near future.
