Rei only saw the cover for a second, but that was all she needed to realize something important. She gasped and snatched the book out of Nagei's hands, muttering a quick apology. "Zen! Look at this!" she shouted, holding the book up so he could see the cover.
"Persona 3...? It has him on it, so could this be a book on 'our world'?" Zen said, grabbing the book and flipping through the pages. The girl wasn't kidding when she said there were books on different worlds. From the Dark Hour to Shadows, everything was here, including-
He snapped the book closed. If Rei had read that last part, she wouldn't react well.

"Is there something wrong? You shut the book very quickly?" Nagei only could stare, finally fully pushing the hood off her head. "There is another one lying around called Persona 4. No clue what it's about." Takumi says, stacking books up. (Okay)

"It's nothing. Let's look at that other book," Zen said, heading over to the bookshelf. Rei looked at Nagei and shrugged, just as baffled as she was. What had Zen read? The blonde-haired girl peeked at the other Persona book Zen had found.
"It has Yu's group, too! Maybe we have a book as well?" Rei hummed and looked at the shelf. Persona 1 and 2's covers weren't familiar at all, but the book labeled Persona Q caught her eye. She smiled as she pulled it out. It even had her and Zen on it!

Nagei looked at the pile of books Takumi made. She pulled one of them out and flipped to a random page. "...Hoshidan prince Ryoma." Nagei says. "That's my older brother." Takumi says. "He became the leader of Hoshido after our mother's death. Those Nohrian scum were responsible for it, too!" Nagei sets the book down and looks at the Persona 4 book. The cover was very bright. Speckles hopped off Nagei's shoulder and onto the table, flipping the cover open.

"No. I don't recall." Takumi says. Nagei looked through the book that Speckles flipped open. Speckles pointed her beak at a picture of what looked to be a very cartoonish looking bear. "What's wrong, Speckles?" Nagei asks, looking at the bird.

Zen had set the book down, only for the bird to flip it open as well. Izanagi was on one of the first few pages. Fitting, since it was Yu's starting Persona. Teddie was on there, too... He glanced over at Takumi. It seemed that this man had his own issues in his world. Not that it was any of Zen's business..
Rei, meanwhile, had her nose in the Persona Q book. It had everything about their adventures in it, including the labyrinth guardians and the festival. Who wrote this? Whoever they were, they knew about her... She paused mid-flip, staring at a page for a second, before moving towards the end.

Nagei picks the Danganronpa book back up and flips to a random page. The page she lands on is of a boy in what appears to be a green jacket. "Makoto Naegi..." Nagei says.

Rei set the book she was reading back on the shelf and dashed back to the others. She stood on her toes, trying to get a better look at Nagei's book. "Who's that? Is it someone you know?" she asked. Zen closed the Persona book and looked over Nagei's shoulder.

"Maybe.." Nagei says. "I can't recall anything before getting here." "As I said before, some books don't have an end. Like the end hasn't happened." Takumi says.

"The end hasn't happened... maybe because the stories are continuing back in our worlds?" Rei guessed. Zen shrugged.
"At the very least, an important event happened, not the end. For example, this book-" he tapped the Persona 4 book. "-Has an end, even though the 'protagonists' are still around." He nodded in agreement with Ivory. Meddling in other worlds' affairs was dangerous. He had experienced it for himself. He raised his crossbow at the sudden voice, although soon lowered it again upon seeing that the newcomer was not a threat.

"But then there are books like this one." Nagei starts picking up the book labeled RWBY. "That have no end to them yet." "Must depend on what you are reading." Takumi says. "And if it has an end or not."

"Would the story change if we are missing?" Nagei asks. "Would that alter the story?" Takumi looks at Nagei. Speckles hopped back onto Nagei's shoulder.

"Even so, I wonder why such books exist in the first place..." Zen muttered. It was likely that this was a realm similar to those of Shadows, but it seemed to... empty. Shadows were bits of human consciousness, so wouldn't their domain be more expressive? "Is there any book about this place in particular?"

Nagei felt something missing as she picked up the Danganronpa book again. She couldn't find herself in it. As if, it was missing. "I wonder what would happen if our presence here did effect the outcome of our world." Takumi says. "Would it barely change or stay on the same pace?"

"It wouldn't change for us..." Rei muttered quietly. She blinked in surprise, realizing she had just said that out loud. "Um, anyway, let's find that book!" She went to the shelves and began searching. Zen gave her a worried look. This reaction wasn't surprising, but he still hated to see her upset about their... unusual situation prior to coming here.

"Hm...." Nagei reaches back into her pocket for that note she had earlier. Maybe... "The librarian was here earlier when I was only here." Takumi says, shuffling through books. "They just rambled on and on about gods and transversing through worlds."

"Gods, huh..." If they were dealing with gods, then this was definitely an otherworldly realm. Possibly created by said gods. Zen nodded and set the Persona book back on the shelf. "Well, our best chance is to find that librarian."
"You can help too, um..." Rei trailed off, not sure how to adress the newest member. "Er, what's your name?"

Nagei nodded in agreement. The librarian must know! The question is: Where could they have gone? "We should start to-" Nagei started, but then she yawned. "...find the librarian. Wherever they went." Takumi looked at Nagei. "Are you tired?" He asks. "No... not really." Nagei replied.

"Nice to meet you, too! I'm Rei, and this is Zen!" The girl said, pointing at her dark-clothed friend. In all the confusion, the duo had forgotten to introduce themselves.
Zen, however, was more concerned with the task at hand. "Take a break if you wish," he said to Nagei. "Either way, we should probably split up to find the librarian, or even the book itself."
