Yeah it is, that's where I read it. I'll lend you the copy I borrowed. [Double-borrowing, yay!]

It's really good. I like the writer. I started with Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and then moved on from there.

[etudes]

I did read that one.. it was really nice. [ yes, she's already reading stuff like that at this age. not a genius for nothing. ]

.. I'm glad to meet someone who likes books this much too.. I thought I was the only one.

[justicefluers]

Nope, you're not alone. There are a lot of people who like reading here.

Have you seen the library here? They have things from different worlds so it's huge.

[etudes]

There's a library..?

[ Oh, look, the girl's face is now actually brightening up. This sounds like heaven to her.. ]

[justicefluers]

The biggest I've ever seen. Want to come with me and see it?

[etudes]

I want to see it..! I really, really do, but..

[ .. for a moment she gets quiet and her expression becomes worried. ] It won't be dangerous, right..?

[justicefluers]

If anyone tries to bother you I'll stop them before they even can. It'll be safe.

I even have superpowers so they definitely won't be able to do anything bad.

[etudes]

Superpowers..? So you're like a superhero, but real?

[justicefluers]

Yes, like that. [Sprouts some extra hands.] This isn't my normal ability though, thanks to the shift.

[etudes]

[ She's just staring at it -- her mouth dropping open. ]

N-.. nobody has that many hands, right..?

[justicefluers]

Not without superpowers. [Folds them grumpily.

[etudes]

It's really like a person from a fairytale.. I didn't think superpowers really existed. My parents always said they didn't exist..

[justicefluers]

They probably didn't know, since we're from different worlds.

[etudes]

.. Ah! [ her eyes light up a little at that. ]

So it's really true..? Different worlds really exist? That means my parents' research was right all along!

[justicefluers]

Your parents were researching that??

Yeah, there are different worlds. You're from Earth, right?

[etudes]

[ a small nod. ]

My parents are very famous scientists.. I think they're really, really smart and amazing. They had a theory about it, about parallel worlds.

[justicefluers]

Parallel worlds? Were they able to prove it?

[etudes]

I'm.. not sure.. [ she turns a little more thoughtful. ] I think my father is writing a very important report about it right now. He said it could change the world..

[justicefluers]

Remind me to ask you about it later, okay? For now... to the library.

[etudes]

... Later..? [ blink blink, but she nods. Lead her and she'll follow! ]

[justicefluers]

Yeah, remember how I'm from the future? So in the future he'll be done about it. But since I'm from a different world, I'll have to ask you.

[etudes]

Hmm. I think I maybe get it, so.. yes, please ask me then. I'll tell you all about it if we're friends then..

[justicefluers]

We are, so I'll be looking forward to it.

[Lightly tousles her hair affectionately.] So you still don't have a favorite book now, right?

[etudes]

H-hmm, not yet. [ but she smiles a little right now, she's getting more comfortable. ]

But that's not bad, right..? I still have a long time to pick..

[justicefluers]

[Grins.] No one says you have to have a favorite. I like that you like them all. It means no book will lack a reader.
