fourth chapter

[wretchedact]

This library is pitiful.

It's large enough, it should have the classics, and yet all I can find is trash. If I'm going to be stuck here, there'd best be something worth reading-

No copies of Sebastian Castellion's La Bible, or even... or even Das Nachtpfauenauge.It's

She's affected too, but doing okay right now.

[guardianhime]

Are you...okay?

Um...I'd heard the library could be confusing...and play games with people when trying to look for what they want.

[wretchedact]

It's pathetic. It only has modern trash in it.

[guardianhime]

It's not really fair that some people can find what they're looking for, while others can't. It's like the city plays favorites or something.

All in English, too.

I wouldn't be surprised if it cast me out, too.

[guardianhime]

If the city cast you out, or the library?

[wretchedact]

Anything.

[guardianhime]

Well I wish the city would cast ME out. And my roommates. Why do SOME people get to leave, while others are stuck here?

You don't want to leave the city?

[wretchedact]

[guardianhime]

Is that a friend of yours?

[wretchedact]

Oh, of COURSE. Yuuki never understands. That's why no one tells me anything. Forget the fact that I'm an open book to everyone else. Gosh, everyone's the same! The worst part is, all I ever actually want to do is help. That's fine...it's nothing new. It's the same as always. We don't really know each other, so it's fine.

[wretchedact]

You don't want to know a monster. You're just the same as him.

[guardianhime]

Same as who?

I don't think people are monsters. It's the 'monsters' I try to defend in my own world. I don't think anyone's a monster.

[wretchedact]

That's what you say.
