A brilliant memory plays in Dolores's mind. It happened a long, long time ago. Arnold was still there, taking Dolores to admire the night view of the real world. Even now, Dolores constantly revisits this memory, not only yearning to see such a scene again but also feeling a stronger desire—to possess the real world capable of creating such beauty.
William, having just finished a day's work, forced himself to stay awake while accompanying his fair-weather friend and playboy, Tiro, in a bar, listening to off-color jokes. Tiro, noticing William's exhausted face, found the situation increasingly dull and had no choice but to let William leave temporarily while he continued chatting with other friends. Suddenly, a man and a woman approached him, promoting the Westworld project. Tiro wasn't interested in the proposal, but seeing that the saleswoman was exactly his type, he decided to play along.
The two brought Tiro to a ball and told him that the hosts were among the crowd. Tiro searched desperately among the people around him until his gaze finally settled on the beautiful woman who had invited him. It must be said that Tiro was quite sharp, but the truth also astonished him. The woman who had just been pitching to him so vigorously was actually the product seeking his investment. The surprises didn’t end there. Just as Tiro was flirting with the host beauty, everyone at the ball froze. It turned out that everyone around Tiro was a host.
Years later, the elderly William fought against the rebellious hosts in Westworld. It seemed he had long anticipated such a day and couldn’t help but recall an episode from his youth with Dolores. As one of the earliest hosts, Dolores was of exceptionally high quality. At the retirement party of Tiro’s father, William brought her to perform. Tiro’s father had contributed significant funds to the Westworld investment and spoke highly of high-quality products like Dolores.
Dolores seemed to sense someone talking about her and turned to look at William. She saw William kissing his fiancée, and a strange ripple stirred in her heart. She didn’t understand what this feeling was, but for a moment, she felt somewhat sad.
In his old age, William traveled through Westworld recruiting followers, but the foresighted Robert seemed to have implanted code in many hosts’ minds, making them prefer suicide over following William. In the end, William only gained Lawrence’s allegiance—a host programmed to play the role of a victim.
Dolores, leading her followers and Teddy, swept through the park, eventually crossing paths with Maeve and her group. The two exchanged sarcastic remarks but refrained from动手 (taking action). Two intelligent souls collided, and competing against each other would benefit neither.
In his youth, William felt ashamed of having once fallen in love with Dolores. Although he could maintain rationality on the surface, deep down, he held unique feelings for her. He took Dolores to a mysterious place. In Westworld, some called it the "Glory Land," while others referred to it as the "Valley Beyond." Years later, Dolores had not forgotten this place. She knew it was not just a location but a weapon.
