A-ah, Germany, I think it would be best to just...express yourself without books?

[deutschy]

These books tell me how to do so, though.

But...the people who wrote those books aren't you, right?
I t-think they're just writting based on their own experiences, but it's not your relationship so everything they say might not work...

[deutschy]

But what if it does? I think that is a risk worth taking.

W-well, why would you want to experience a relationship so...indirectly?

[deutschy]

Am I not directly involved simply by being there?

[makesyoucoffee]

B-but, they're not your own actions if you're copying from a book, right?

[deutschy]

I consider them my own.

But yours is a point that many here seem to be making.

...You don't need a book for someone to love you back, Germany.

A-ah, that's good.
