Overview

So That No One Will Cry (T-04-11-20) is a TETH-class Abnormality encountered during Canto IV. It was contained in its ovate form by the Technology Liberation Alliance who were able to extract E.G.O equipment from it. It later escaped and is battled in the Reminisced League of Nine Dungeon.

It can also be battled on Sundays in Thread Luxcavation, encountered in the Mirror Dungeon through Abnormality events and as a potential boss, and on Station 1 of Line 2: Möbius.

It is the source of the E.G.O Red Sheet.

Appearance[]

So That No One Will Cry is a tall lanky humanoid doll made up of splintered wooden blocks. Yellow talismans are stuck on to various parts of the Abnormality's body, and completely cover its face. Both the talismans and wooden blocks are stained with blood, especially around the ends of its limbs.

According to the Observation Logs, the talismans are stuck on to the Abnormality with a yellow glue. Despite this, the Abnormality is easily able to transfer its talismans to its targets. The talismans appear to carry power-enhancing capabilities, though an excess of talismans leads to an opposite effect, weighing their host down. The logs also state that the talismans change to a purple color when they are pulled back onto the Abnormality's body.

Story[]

Log Writer: Heathcliff

Well... It's a creepy-looking wood block.

It's got blood all over... and papers, too.

They weren't common, but I did see things like this in the Backstreets from time to time. What were they about, curses...? It was funny to me that some scallies actually believed that tosh.

...Gah, I guess it wasn't a total load of bollocks, seeing that thing with my eyes.

That chop of wood, that thing moves.

Could've sworn it was stiff as wood when we saw it in the mirror dungeons or whatever, like props for a horror film.

The attacks aren't much, but when you see a solid block of wood like that... fly at you at the speed it does, it does scare you a bit.

Feels like one hit could crack a bone or two.

...Well, I'm not about to sit down and let it hit me.

Cor, why is it so bloody sticky... (A substance that seems to be yellow glue are smidged around this part.)

I bet this bugger would've posted flyers in the Backstreets for a living if it were a human... doing nothing but that for years, I guarantee you.

It put several talismans over my body before I could notice. Dammit…

Not sure if it was those creepy pieces of paper pissing me off, but it felt a bit like the bat was working better. Whatever it was, it didn't feel like a bad thing.

Oh, and the talismans on its body moved to my bat, too. Don't know how it works, but... I guess they wrapped around it.

Anyway, this thing bugs me more the more I hit it. Some kinds of stress you gotta relieve by beating things, but this doesn't help.

→ That's something only a thug would say. You really are crude. (Ishmael)

→...Huh? How's he holding off his anger when that comment's right up there? (Gregor)

→ Faust deliberately prevented him from looking at this. It would have been a waste to fill the space with useless information. (Faust)

→ That's our wise bud. (Gregor)

→ By the way... I think I felt myself feeling stronger with more talismans on me, too. Even if they didn't annoy me or make me feel anything. (Sinclair)

→ In that case... The talismans themselves might have some kind of effect. What if we tried attaching a lot of them on purpose? (Ishmael)

Damn it, why are you telling me to write this separately?

I could just keep writing where I was, you know... What's with the special treatment? It's narking me.

Forget it, I feel great turning that wood block into a pile of firewood, so I'll let it slide this time.

We tried getting a bunch of talismans on us like one of us suggested... but too many talismans actually weighed us down. It's weirdly tiring like some others said.

Instead... That wood block sometimes puts up its guard instead of attacking, you see...?

The little lad swung his halberd right then, and the talismans on that weapon got pulled into the wood block.

Then it turned purple…

Heh, that's when I got it. It couldn't do anything as we kept putting the papers on it, so we turned it into regular firewood.

→ Correction: the Abnormality returned to its ovate form. No experimental activities such as it actually turning into a pile of firewood or being lit on fire took place. (Faust)

As you did, the candles lit up one by one…

Trivia[]

  • Breaking the body causes blood to start seeping out, despite the Abnormality being made entirely of wood. It's possible this blood comes from its talismans, as described in the Mirror Dungeon and combat events.
  • While the Talismans it inflicts onto the Sinners provide a damage boost to them, reattaching the Talismans to itself only provides debuffs to the Abnormality.
    • This could be seen as it collecting misfortune or curses from others, hence leading to its name.
    • Whether it does so intentionally or against its own will is deliberately left vague.
