[The image first shows an open book lying on a table. It seems to be open at the very back, though looking at the page on the left would show that it's full of text so it obviously was supposed to continue where the cover now is. Closer observation would show that several pages after that one were apparently ripped out.

It stays on this image for several moments, or at least what the person showing it thinks is long enough for said observations to be made. Finally, the screen does a very quick 180 to show a livid Elliot.]

WHO IS THE CRIMINAL RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS?!

Library books are the property of EVERYONE WHO USES THAT LIBRARY! YOU CAN'T JUST TEAR OUT PAGES WHEREVER YOU SEE FIT! IT'S COMMON COURTESY!

ESPECIALLY NOT IN THE FINAL BOOK OF ONE OF THE GREATEST SERIES EVER WRITTEN!!!

Then why not borrow the entire book?! THIS IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS!

I don't really know.

What book is it?

It's the final book in Holy Knight!

I'm afraid I've not read those...

You should when you get the time! They're...!

[...Missing the ending. Uggghhh...]

They're worth reading despite all of this!

Maybe there's another copy, I was told there are several libraries here in the city...

[She even has a map to them!]

What are they about?

Someone mentioned another one to me, too. I'm not sure where it is yet.

Simply put, it's the story of Edwin and everything he does to become the Holy Knight along with his servant. But there's so much more to it than that!

Oh, well, I have a map! Would you like to see it? If I...can remember how to show it...

[She taps her tablet a few times, so there are lots of close-ups of her fingers.]

It sounds very interesting.

[Yeah, he's not a fan of the whole "people poking him but not" thing but he'll keep his mouth shut about it.]

That would be helpful, yes.

It's one of the most interesting works of literature I've ever read! If complete copies of all the books still exist, you should definitely read them!

Ah...I will try...

Do you know how to show people the map on these things?

I read how to do it a while ago. I've found that these are almost like instruments, though. You can't learn much if you don't do it.

Well.

Just give me a few minutes then.

[There's a delaaaaay.]

[He's...noticing that, yeah.]

If you can explain where it is, I should be able to locate it with my own map, you know!

No, no, I can figure this out!

[It's another minute or two before locations PING PING on his map.]

There. I think. I hope?

[Well the time went a little faster since his cat jumped in his lap and wanted some attention. He looks back up once she sounds like she may have gotten it.]

I see. ...It's possible to keep those markings, right?

[He'd look it up but...kitty. This might be faster with less chance of losing them.]

Well...mine stayed. So I assume so!

[elizabeth waves at the cat.]

[He spots the wave and realizes that she can see her. Oops. Let's try to quickly coax her out of sight now...]

Good. This thing would be pretty useless if you could find something on its map.
