a bookman has no need for a heart.
in an instant, the darkness arrived.
in the pitch black, lightless world, a grave voice asked—
"who is the bookman?"
the bookman walks through the world, pursuing history.
"what must a bookman be like?"
like a gust of wind. the wind doesn't stay in one place. it feels nothing for the places it's passed through. it just keeps wandering—
"i will ask you this once. who are you?"
i am the bookman's successor. my current name — lavi.
⠀
"who are you?"
the question he'd repeated to himself hundreds, thousands of times.
lavi slowly closed his eyes. anyone looking at lavi at that moment
would have been surprised by his expression, like that of a different
person than the usual upbeat lavi. the desolation etching lavi's face
was that deep. his usual lightheartedness and cheerfulness were
hidden away, and there was a hardness to him that others would
not likely approach.

"why do you wear that eyepatch?"
people must imagine all sorts of things about lavi's right eye, but
they never would have imagined that it was what had determined
that he would become the next bookman.

i feel something wet on my cheek.
guess i'm bleeding. but it's just a scratch. nothing serious.
lavi strengthened his grip on his hammer.
lavi hadn't realized. the wetness on his cheek wasn't blood.

sandalphon, grimnir, percival,
nagito komaeda, kaoru hakaze,

i don't trust him.
he's always smiling, but only on the surface.
inside his heart, he's very cold.

while years passed at the order,
lavi, you...
you began to think of those you met there as
your comrades.
shut up!
have you noticed?
you've become unable to discern whether or not
that smile you put on is fake.
stop it!
special thanks
special thanks to my friends for dealing with all of my daily breakdowns over fictional men.
i love y'all so much thank you for supporting me
stan lavi
don't look.
why?
if you look, it'll just mislead you.
why, lavi?
this is an illusion.
what are you doing, lavi?
damn it all!
why, lavi? why are you...
a b a n d o n i n g y o u r f r i e n d s ?
don't listen!
block it out!
it's an illusion.
it's an illusion!
they're all illusions!
i have to get out of here, fast!
