[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!!!

They had better confess! Otherwise they'll also be completely cowardly!

Cowardly, but there are worse things that occur in the midst of a war.

Of course! But war is no excuse for any level of deplorable behavior!

You don't know anything about war, do you?

Of course I do! Just because it's more likely to happen doesn't justify it any more!

Your priorities need work then.

Unfortunately there are worse things than torn books. Have you not seen the state of the land? The water? The very ground we walk on has been poisoned and we must live in such deplorable conditions.

Of course I've seen it! It's hardly acceptable, but like you just said, we have to live here! So if they want to keep books despite that, they could at least attempt to maintain them! ESPECIALLY ON ONES THAT HAVEN'T BEEN PUBLISHED YET!
