This book has my name in it, but why would a Library book have my name? It feels very wrong to write inside a book on the library. What if I ruin it? I always ruin things. I should give this book back, but it follows me. It makes me nervous. Maybe I can write good things in it

His stuff wasn't always the cheeriest, but he was grand at what he did, alright.

If it's got your name engraved on it, it's definitely yours. Not a library's.

[colorlesschild]

It's writing back!

[unkingly]

I'm writing back. Like you're writing. Only not in a library.

[colorlesschild]

Who is I?

[zealouspeter]

It'll only follow you.

[colorlesschild]

It's writing back?

[zealouspeter]

Of course. This isn't a usual book.

[colorlesschild]

Who are you, book? Are you a demon?

[cowboy_newsie]

Nah, it ain't wrong. Makes so that the people who take the book out after you have something interesting to read while they's going over the book.

I mean, this ain't no library book, but you oughta write in other books anyway.

[colorlesschild]

But that'd be destroying the book!

[cowboy_newsie]

Nah, not unless you blur out the words! You just gotta make sure you write in the margins, all nice and neat.

[colorlesschild]

But I write nothing interesting, book. You should know that.

[limitedrun]

It's not a library book, kid.

What's with the math?

[colorlesschild]

What are you, then?

I like math. Math always makes sense.

[limitedrun]

Me? I'm a person. Come equipped with all the parts and everything.

I like math too. For the same reason, actually.

What's your name?

[colorlesschild]

You're a person? How are you inside a book?

I'm glad.

I'm supposed to be called Sora.

[patternprophet]

It's a bit difficult to ruin.

What feels wrong?

[colorlesschild]

I shouldn't be given something nice like you, book.

[patternprophet]

it's Leoben, actually.

Why not?

[colorlesschild]

Leoben. Like Jack and Alfred F. Jones.

I'm not a good child.
