[In the library, Robin has discovered a very strange bookcase. The contents are shiny, new and dust-free autobiographies, on gleaming new shelves. And each and every one of them has a tacky title and cover that hails from the depths of advertising hell. But that's not the strangest thing about them. The strangest thing is the topics and the

Is it trying to remember all of its inhabitants by writing down the stories of our lives.

[Chopin is looking through the various tomes, curious on what this place has to write about him.]

[stitched_akuma]

[gives a little jump when she notices she's not on her own]

...! Ah. Maybe so. But does it have to do it like this?

[piugrave]

[Pulls down a copy of Trusty Bell: Chopin's Dream.]

I suppose. But don't you ever wonder what this place actually thinks of the people living here. [Begins flipping through a few pages.]

[stitched_akuma]

That's a good point. If that's your book, do you think it's accurate? I don't like mine.

[piugrave]

I don't think so. I can't remember anyone named Polka or Falsetto. [But he keeps reading anyway.] Is yours?

[stitched_akuma]

More or less. Except for the way it's written. I...don't like it.

[suddenly smiles cheerfully] What's your name?

[piugrave]

I'm sorry. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Chopin. And yours?

[stitched_akuma]

I'm Robin. How do you do, Chopin.

[takes a quick look at the shelf, and by the time she sees the last book title, she's seething.] ..."Tragedy is a Joy" by the Millennium Earl. Bastard.

[piugrave]

Pretty well.

Is that the Earl everyone here speaks of?

[Keeps his own book and finds...] "Dead Thesis" by Eshi? But this book says nothing but the word title for 400 pages.

[stitched_akuma]

Yes. Oh. And his book here has been defaced with little heart marks. I can't even read it. Strange.

...Title, for 400 pages? Now that's even stranger!

[piugrave]

Heart marks? Why would someone do that?

[stitched_akuma]

He likes heart marks. That's why. But he also likes murdering people.

[piugrave]

I've heard he a very cruel individual.

[Picks up another book.] This one doesn't have a title. [Opens up a few pages.] But it looks like it is written in German, perhaps.

[stitched_akuma]

Yes. Very cruel. Don't trust him, not under any circumstances at all.

German? Hmm. Most of the books are in English for some reason, even when the person it's supposed to be by isn't. I wonder whose it is.

[piugrave]

Do you know a lot about him and the Noah. I'm still trying to understand it all. Mostly the Noah themselves confuse me. I met one who was very kind.

[Flips the page. Spanish. Flips back a page. English. Flips a page forward. Chinese.] This book appears to belong to someone very well traveled.

[stitched_akuma]

I don't know very much about them...but they work for the Earl. There are strange Noah memories within them, and those make them do and think bad things sometimes. In a way, they're like Akuma. I think so, anyway.

[peers at the book - but doesn't understand it since the page it's on right now is Greek] Does it say anywhere who it's by?
