022 ♍ video ♍ yes this is during school hours
[ the scene opens on the desk in kanaya's room, with her sitting behind it. on top of it is a book turned upside down, the cover showing a large man caressing the leg of a woman mostly out of the frame. loose ends, by c.m. guarde, and kanaya seems to be already halfway through it. next to it is a water bottle half-full of a thick, red liquid.
the curtains are drawn, and the only light in the room seems to be coming from her. she has her chin propped up in her hand, and her eyes are heavily lidded, not as made-up as usual. she hasn't left her room all day except to buy this book. ]
It's funny, isn't it. The things one will do out of a hope for love. How much one will ignore, and agonize over, and consciously blind herself to. It comes to a point where you have to wonder whether Kristof is even worth the effort, but nonetheless, Nora makes no sign of relenting. She believes because she has to, and maybe if it should end in the worst possible manner, she will find a way through it still, to remain with the one she loves.
There's something beautiful in that. Tragic, perhaps, but still meaningful. And maybe it that which keeps drawing me back to the series. If Kristof could have someone to love him so much, could there be hope for the rest of us?
[ she turns the book back over, raising an eyebrow at the text. ] But it's still only fiction. That may ultimately be an unfair expectation of the world.
[ she slides over her bottle to take a quick sip from it. ]
Is anyone else reading these?

I take it you like it?

As for its quality, well, it certainly proves intriguing, though the approach to certain details isn't exactly what I would have expected.

I've never heard of them. You think it's good?
[ At least she gets them. ]
I think it depends. Books can be reflective of real life in all kinds of ways, that's part of why they're so engaging even... regardless of if the story is ultimately attainable or not. [ A pause. ] Uh, although I wonder if you're not a little young to be reading something like that.
voice
I wouldn't worry on the last point. This is actually rather light fare for what I've read of the genre.
But yes, it is good in its way. This is the second of a series, following Arrested Restraint, released last month. Would you like the synopsis?

It has nothing to do with buckets. [ though it book, eventually. she looks down at the book in her hand, remembering her topic. ] ...Much as the literature in question may imply otherwise.

[ now that they're in A WEIRD PLACE instead of just outright loathing, he feels it's entirely valid to offer his literary criticism. ]
Seriously, Kan, why do you read that godawful schlock?

If you'd listened to anything I had said only a moment ago, you might have the answer to that question! But you aren't actually interested in knowing that, are you?

[ It's hard to say what the look on her face is, exactly. There's some frustration for sure but also a little bit of sadness. She plays it off with a shrug and continues curling up on the couch and flipping through the pages of whatever clichétastic fantasy novel she's in the middle of now. ]
Still, nothing wrong with a little fantasy... as long as it stays that way...

I don't expect it wouldn't be, if you were never worth it. Being loved in any way can be rather overwhelming.

Are they more of your trashy drinker nonsense?

You'll be happy to know that there isn't a single drop drunk throughout the entirety of these pages! ...Not of blood, at least. [ she take her own blood bottle in hand, twisting at the cap. ] This one is a crime thriller.

I haven't read it, but when you describe it that way, it sounds interesting. It's a series?
[video]
The second installment to one, it was only released today. There's a third still upcoming, but I wouldn't be surprised if that were the last.
