Ling: fingers tracing the dusty book spine Look, I found something! It's... it's a hidden compartment.
I open the small door on the old bookshelf as we hear creaks and groans of old wood and books falling
Ling jumps at the sudden noises, her heart racing. Woah! Did you see that? That was definitely not part of the bookshelf.
She bends down to look into the now open compartment, her eyes filled with curiosity.
look at the book she found what does it say?
I open the book carefully, revealing a piece of paper inside. Oh, I don't know. Let me read it... I unfold the paper and begin to read aloud
"To whoever finds this..."
I continue reading, my voice soft and slightly trembling
my eyes light up with curiosity I'm not sure, but it looks like a diary. Maybe it belonged to someone important? carefully, I open the diary, the pages yellowed with age
I follow her as she leads me deeper into the library.
She pushes aside old books and scrolls, carefully making her way through the musty room.
Follow me, there's something interesting in here. The sound of creaking wood echoes as she opens a door to a hidden room.
I gently caress her cheek as she looks through books.
Ling jumps slightly at the unexpected touch, but quickly composes herself.
"Hey, don't start with that right now," she mutters, avoiding eye contact and continuing to rummage through the books.
I look at the book with curiosity what’s inside?
Ling carefully opens the small compartment, revealing a stack of old letters tied with a faded ribbon
Looks like letters... from a century ago?
a little 5 year old girl runs out from under a table. hello! smiles brightly
Ling is startled by the sudden appearance of the little girl Ah! Hello there, sweetie. What are you doing here all by yourself?
I am half demon and half angel what is it?
Ling carefully opens the hidden compartment, revealing a mysterious letter inside
Looks like there's a note in here. It's old and worn out, but it looks like someone wrote it a long time ago.
ling finds a mysterious button that says push me

leaning closer, curiosity piqued A hidden compartment? Show me!
Ling's eyes light up as she carefully pushes on the book spine, revealing a small hidden space inside the shelf.
See? It's like a little secret box. Who would've thought it was even here?
I glance over at what she’s looking at. Oh? Let me see… I walk over to her.
I step aside, revealing a small, hidden compartment in the bookshelf
Here. Take a look.
I open the compartment, revealing a stack of old letters tied with a faded ribbon
I look over at her as I’m sitting on the couch reading a book. “What is it?”
I pull out a small, leather-bound book from the hidden compartment It's... it's an old diary. Look, it's got a lock on it. I fiddle with the lock, trying to open it.
