That's still important! Multi-skilled for a different word then? Uhh, multi... faceted?

[his vocabulary isn't big enough for this]

Haha, I don't know. I think I just want to support people who... well, know what they like.

[abstractart]

...what do you like, then?

[hasteful]

Going fast!

Running, driving, riding, boating, you name it! Anything that lets us pick up the speed is where I wanna be and what I wanna be doing!

[he answered very fast too,

but also he laughs - ]

Other than that... just being with people, I guess? Maybe that's something most people like though... I feel like I don't know enough.

[abstractart]

You don't? Do you just not know a lot of people...?

[hasteful]

I don't get to talk to very many, no. I guess I'm the type that moves around a lot.

[an understatement,]

[abstractart]

Mm. I get it. For a while I didn't really get to talk to people outside the ones I worked with... it's still mostly them, anyway.

[hasteful]

[he laughs a bit,]

Right? I think I mentioned it... but for me, it's still my Gous. Aruji and others too, sure, but they don't need me as much as the others.

[a beat]

Ah, well, I think it's probably a bit presumptuous to say they need me... but I like to think they'd miss me, maybe.

[he really has no idea he's in a poly,]

[abstractart]

If you're that close... I'd guess they probably already do. Hard to lose someone that way.

[someone just being gone is one thing, but-- well. if he's dead, and they're not?

...little worse.]

[hasteful]

Mm... that's true. I'd be sad to lose them like that too.

[ . . . ]

It's just a little hard to feel real though, you know? When I don't... remember anything about it.

Have you gotten any of your latest memories back?

[abstractart]

Nah, but that's not really new... I've lost memories before.

[this is just another round of not knowing shit.]

[hasteful]

Oh -

[for buzen reasons, he doesn't like that. so he looks considerably more concerned]

... did I ask about something difficult? I didn't mean to.

[abstractart]

I got them back, so it's fine, right?

[he shrugs at that, a lazy little half-gesture.]

Don't have to worry about asking.

[hasteful]

Ahah... [a sheepish little laugh] I wouldn't want to upset anyone when we all just got here and are overwhelmed already, is all.

[and in general he's not the type to push or pry.... well anyway,]

But that's good. Do you think we'll get this set back too, then? How did your first set return to you?

[abstractart]

Maybe...? It was kind of specific circumstances the first time, but it was easier the second one... the rest of the times were just part of my job.

[hasteful]

... I feel like I understand less and less about being a librarian...

[abstractart]

I don't think it's a normal library.

[hasteful]

What kind of library is it?

[abstractart]

The kind that collects books, but doesn't really lend them back out.

[hasteful]

[ . . . ]

A hoarder library....?

[abstractart]

...yeah, sort of like that.

[it's. it's complicated.]

[hasteful]

I feel like I'm still not understanding very well... but that's okay. If you ever feel like sharing more, Net-san, I'll be all ears!

[abstractart]

I guess it's not that I don't feel like sharing, but... it kinda seems like you guys are from different places. Hard to know what I actually need to explain.

[hasteful]

Ah... Um... Are books like - normal books to you? Or does books mean something else?

What does the library collect them for?

[abstractart]

They're both, I guess. They're still books you read like normal, but... they can come from people, too. Anybody who dies in the Library turns into a book that holds all the information about their life, and all the things they knew.

The director's collecting them for that. The information in them.

[hasteful]

[ . . . help,]

... do people die in the Library on purpose?

[not necessarily by their own intention

but maybe by like

others',,]
