Wendy asked. "It's what the book says. The words were shown to me before the book appeared before me. That light took me behind. Let's see," she said, immediately turning to the first page. This book was not a book. It was some kind of processor. Like, I never knew the underworld had twenty first century techniques. The writings weren't fixed, rather they dispersed into thin air and then fresh characters appeared in the book. It was like a movie to me. No, not a movie: it was like magic to me.

Bella Who would’ve thought that “us against the world” would quickly turn into “me against the world, and against the memory you have now lost”? It will be the biggest lie of mine if I say that none of this affects me, that I have faith in our love and that you will remember me in no time. But I would just keep on pretending, not until the negativity inside me melt away. By the time I was walking straight into your room, hospital corridors echoed with the hurried footsteps of anxious visitors and the hushed whispers of worried families. Amongst them, is me, and my heavy heart filled with anticipation.

“Good.” The word was simple, but it landed heavier than anything else she had said. She stepped back slightly. “Two works,” she said, addressing the room now. “Same pairing.” Her gaze moved from Ernest to me. “Two different interpretations.” There was a pause. “One takes.” She watched for reactions before continuing. “One restrains.” “Both are honest,” she finished. “In very different ways.” She handed my sketchbook back and switched off the projection. I took it, fingers brushing the edge of the page without really feeling it. Then, I turned towards my seat and this time… I couldn’t avoid it. My eyes met his. For a second, everything else faded.

Stories don’t often begin with touch. Sometimes they start with stillness. There’s a pause too heavy to ignore, the kind that turns silence into a presence of its own.

I looked at him, but he barely showed any sign other than the hardness of his jaw. “Ok, it’s much better.” He announced happily. I looked at the table, and truly, he was right. It was much better. There was an invisible middle line at the centre of the table that gave each of us our care space. I placed the other books in my bags, and felt more confident.

The specific quality of understanding that meant they’d been inside it rather than outside it, had felt the thing it was trying to do rather than simply analyzed what it had done. They wrote about the formal structure — the non-linear movement, the way the book organized itself around returning images — with the intelligence of someone who understood form as meaning rather than form as decoration.

Seeing the book, Lin felt very happy so that he forgot to ask the price of the book to the book shop owner. Lin turned over the pages of the book, and read the first paragraph from the book. During the time, another possible book buyer entered the book shop, and Lin heard the greetings of the book buyer to the book shop owner. Lin let them exchange the greetings, and he focused on reading some more paragraphs from the book. The more he read the passages, the more he sensed the goodwill
