Unknown Ancient Tomes[]
It is said that the Unknown Ancient Tomes were written by the first Chief of Science and Truth of Illumina. It was the compilation of years of scientific and technological research on the ancient civilization, and countless experimental logs that are now lost to the ages. With the departure of this Chief, the Unknown Ancient Tomes were also nowhere to be found. Presently, only a fraction of the knowledge found within the Tomes can be found in circulation, though its authenticity is frequently brought into question.

Lilin's symptoms are worsening. My poor, precious daughter... But I have an idea. It will be seen as a transgression against God if I am discovered, and I will be beaten to death... But I have no other choice. Sayla... I wasn't able to stand by your side and save you, but this time... I will definitely save Lilin!

The experiment went smoothly, which is, I have to say, unexpected. It went way beyond my expectations! Lately, I've begun feeling more and more... peculiar. Something doesn't feel quite right. Normally, I am the one who designs and conducts my experiments following my ideas, but now... It feels as though someone, or something, is in my brain, guiding my actions! But how could this possibly be? After all, I'm a neurologist myself. The idea is positively laughable! In any case, the days have not been peaceful as of late. With all my attention devoted to Lilin, the funding for my experiment has run dry... Fortunately, I was able to sell our token of love to continue my research! Please don't be upset, Sayla. This is all to save our beloved daughter, after all. Right? Right?!
Calendar Year XXX, December 13[]
What a disaster! Those hooligans are already at my doorstep... I don't think Baas will make it to the morning. I'm so darn close to the end, too! Calm down, calm down... I've run my calculations on all nine replicas and their sensory pathways countless times... And their body structures have all been stable so far! That's why... it'll all be okay! I'm waking you up now, Lilin! You'll make it this time, I know you will. You and daddy are going to escape this awful place, no doubt about it! You hear that, Sayla? Watch over us, my love... I'll write to you again once all goes well! Everything will be okay!
