[a heart.]

[antreegonist]

There's a moment of nothing but light and sensation. Someone's looking you over and the scrutiny prickles and burns – it's nearly a physical pain, like fine little hooks digging past your skin, into the very meat of you. I know who you are, it says, and I know what you are, and that you don't have any business here --

“But you do,” says Mithos behind you. He's a tired, steady voice in your ear, a light hand on your shoulder. “I don't know what Dream's thinking, but everyone is welcome here in my heart; just keep in mind it's a real mess right now.”

Your vision clears.

You can't figure out what the exact system for filing them is, but Mithos quietly gestures to where they should go every once in a while.

It really is going a lot faster than filing a few hundred books should.

What are these books written about?

Re: [center - knowledge]

[antreegonist]

"Ways of killing."

Re: [center - knowledge]

[featherfetch]

[...]

All of these?

Re: [center - knowledge]

[antreegonist]

"Not all . . . precisely. But knowledge is complicated. Many things interrelate."

Re: [center - knowledge]

[featherfetch]

. . .I see. How were they knocked down?

Re: [center - knowledge]

[antreegonist]

"The memory had a great deal of murder in it. So they were brought to the fore with great force."

Re: [center - knowledge]

[featherfetch]

I see. . .

[picks up the pace :<a] But there are lots of good memories for you in here as well, right?

Re: [center - knowledge]

[antreegonist]

"Memories are kept in a different portion of the heart. But there are many good associations with this knowledge as well, and throughout the library in general."

Re: [center - knowledge]

. . .

Do you know any history?

Re: [center - knowledge]

[antreegonist]

"The history of Aather as I've seen it. And the history of Aselia, what I can remember of it."

Re: [center - knowledge]

[featherfetch]

. . .Of Aather?

Do you know what kind of friends we were?

Re: [center - knowledge]

[antreegonist]

"That's in 'love,' not in 'knowledge.' Two rooms straight ahead."

Re: [center - knowledge]

[featherfetch]

Alright, thank you. It can wait until we are finished here, though.

Re: [center - knowledge]

[antreegonist]

"Thank you as well, Pascal."

You're almost done, whoa.

[finishing up so he can say goodbye to Knowledge and move on to finding the bit that will talk about relationships /o/]

The library is so neat again!
