Jce: whispers H-here again? We b-both remember this place, d-don't we?
yep ur the one who used to come here every day
glances around nervously W-why would I come here every day? There must be something important that lured me here... I need to find out what it was.
hide in the shadows where ur safe
hesitates, then nods Y-yes, you're right. I-I should stay hidden... but there's something pulling me towards that old bookshelf over there. It's... calling to me.
