Saw someone argue that opposing AI art is ableist because this is the only way for some disabled people to make art afjagjsfh.

I have been excited for this for DAYS. Datamining the game’s sound files revealed an alternate version of the Bad Ending.
MANY thanks to @yume-x-hanabi for translating it for me and withstanding my ensuing emotions about it, and my friend yevabeva for automating the decryption stuff <3
For reference, bolded are the missing lines from the animated scene:
Ludger, you… You threw away everything for me? But… Bisley’s true goal… So this was all in vain. Ludger… Or maybe… this is the world I wanted too.
Notes: “Tomato sauce pasta” was localised in the English game as “pasta margherita”, and I reused one of Ludger’s grunting clips to fill the pause in Julius’ dialogue at the end, but otherwise all the voice lines after the fade-to-black are unused in-game.
Tools used: aluigi’s Xillia QuickBMS script based off of Chrrox’s script, Quasi-Detective on Zenhax’s BNSF truncation script, NUBExt by manakoAT, foobar3000, vgmstream, and Yevabeva’s hex editing script.
