[is already in the library, and now wandering over with a book in her hands]

...Oh, hello Miki-san!

[That took her by surprise, turning around to that familiar voice.]

Mami-san? What are you doing here?

Reading! [holds up her book: The Complete Collected Poems of Maya Angelou.] Although I think that every non-romantic piece has been removed from it....anyway, what about you?

Ah, didn't you hear? I was looking for a book of recipes. Or something like that. I realized I should take a step forward and at learn how to handle that.

... I'm not going to find anything, am I?

Are you? Sorry, I must have missed that- guess I was too focused on my book.

Mm, I honestly don't know for sure....but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. This place isn't really designed to encourage self-sufficiency, what with the animals that'll make us meals and all that.

It feels weird having that happen, so I wanted at least one thing to be normal for me. Besides, then I could work something up for others too.

Why are you reading that, by the way?

I can understand that, the normalcy thing.

Just something to pass the time, I suppose. [she doesn't mention the erotica she stumbled upon and hurriedly put back...]

I can't even wake up normally anymore.

So no secret love of poetry?

At least you don't have animals following you everywhere, right?

Well, it's not bad poetry....

Why would I? I mean, some do follow after me, but not all the time.

What kind is it? I didn't look into them much.

For some reason, most of the creatures here seem to like me. I can't sit down without being piled on by rabbits and cats.

It's hard to explain, so...here, I'll just read some aloud. [opens book, flips pages]

We, unaccustomed to courage...exiles from delight live coiled in shells of loneliness....until love leaves its high holy temple....and comes into our sight....to liberate us into life.

... That sounds amazingly cute.

[She traces the words on the page.]

I don't really understand everything it's talking about- [a lie, she does, more than she ever wants to] -but I like how it sounds, you know?

I don't get it either. But if I had to guess, it's about love making everything okay?

Something like that. [the book closes.] Anyway, about the animals.....it's pretty weird, since I'm the only one who seems to be affected like that.

Were you ever good with animals before?
