[In an armchair in the library, there is a young French boy looking as if he's deeply absorbed in a very large book. Except for the part where the book is upside down. And he seems to have failed to notice this for at least the last hour.]

[sits in a nearby armchair, watching him]

[count_onme]

[Too caught up in his own brooding to notice :Db]

[wearswallpaper]

[after a moment, he gets up and moves to stand behind Albert, settling his hands on his shoulders]

[count_onme]

[Startled enough to snap out of it a little, at that]

Franz...

[wearswallpaper]

Hey.

[count_onme]

... Hi. ... Seems like I've been found out.

[wearswallpaper]

You aren't the most subtle of people.

[count_onme]

[Sigh] I thought if I came to the library no-one would notice...

[wearswallpaper]

That´s precisely why they did. [indicates the book]

[count_onme]

[Noticing it now] ... Ahahahaha... haha... oops?

[wearswallpaper]

[reaches over him and closes it]

You don't have to try and pretend. It was never your strong point.

[count_onme]

Franz...

[wearswallpaper]

It has never been a good day for me, either.

[count_onme]

Haah... I should've realised. Sorry, Franz. I guess I got caught up in myself again.

[wearswallpaper]

No. It is still new for you.

[count_onme]

Mm. It doesn't even feel like it was nearly two years ago.
