[ at the book section of one of the stores like the nerds we are and bertolt is reaching for those books on the tall shelves and just flipping through them without really reading
[ it's a new week and unknown to bertolt and alphinaud, that means new roommates.
i'm sorry alphinaud, but bertolt has his top half spread across the bed, his right leg upright, his left leg curled underneath him, and his arms spread out.
Alphinaud is definitely being crushed underneath this large boy, making for a, uh. Pleasant awakening. With something of a strangled noise, once he eventually comes to, he manages out: ]
On Tuesday, an Angel made of Dust came to me, wanting to talk. As we talked, it felt like... I was being made to listen. They told me that if I wanted to go home faster, that if I wanted to protect my friends at home, I'd help them keep order by taking out the other side.

That is... well, good, I suppose. But I did wish to speak with you—elsewhere more quiet, that is.

So you had little choice but to comply. This—puts a lot into perspective.
