Books around the Library
- Book 1
- “-and the rain continued to pour down on the two boys. They rushed underneath the overhanging roof of a nearby cafe, for they were completely soaked.”
“������ shivered feverently. ���� absentmindedly held ������ close to preserve their shared warmth.”
“������ felt safe in ����’s embrace, a feeling that he cherished beyond anything else.”
- “-and the rain continued to pour down on the two boys. They rushed underneath the overhanging roof of a nearby cafe, for they were completely soaked.”
- Book 2
- “‘����?’”
“‘Yeah?’”
“‘What do you see yourself becoming in the future’”
“‘What do you mean by that?’”
“‘Well like, are you gonna be like a chef or something?’”
“‘I’m not sure myself… What about you?’”
“‘I want to be a detective.’”
- “‘����?’”
- Book 3
- “������ lets out a long drawn out groan. ‘But like, what do we want out of our lives?’”
“‘I mean, I wanna be rich.’ ���� jokingly remarks as he idly caresses ������’s hair.”
“‘But like, we’re literally doing nothing right now. What are we gonna tell our kids when they ask what we did as kids for fun? I don’t think ‘sitting around in the sun is a particularly exciting response.’”
“‘Oh, er-... Our kids?’”
“‘Yeah dude like when you get married to that one froyo girl you always make passes at and have a ton of babies.’”
“���� sighs. ‘Uh, oh… Yeah… No, she’s not really my type. We’re just cool, that’s all.’”
“‘You never tell me about any girls you like.’”
“‘I’m not really into… anyone right now.’”
“‘Hmmm. I see.’”
- “������ lets out a long drawn out groan. ‘But like, what do we want out of our lives?’”
- Book 4
- “Rise and fall.”
“The silence of the humid summer day was only disturbed by the gentle noise of ������’s breathing. He was asleep, his head in ����’s lap. ���� silently ran his fingers through ������’s soft black hair.”
“The gentleness of ������’s hair against ����’s skin only made him fall more in love with the other boy.”
“This tranquility, this peace. A place where ������ felt safe and secure was something ���� was willing to die to protect.”
- “Rise and fall.”
- Book 5
- “‘May I have this dance?’ ���� asks. Holding out a hand to ������.”
“������ smiles. ‘Dude, it’s raining so hard.’”
“‘So what?’ ���� scoffs. ‘A little bit of rain never stopped us.’”
“‘Shut up, you flirt.’ ������ jabs back, eliciting a mad red blush on ����’s face. Before he could take his hand back, ������ stands up and grasps it. ‘Let’s dance then, idiot.’”
“���� lets out an exuberant chuckle, and both metaphorically and quite literally sweeps ������ off his feet.”
- “‘May I have this dance?’ ���� asks. Holding out a hand to ������.”
- Book 6
- “‘������~...’ ���� whines, fanning himself while turning on a third electric fan. ‘How do you survive in this heat?’”
“������ looks up from his book, clearly undisturbed by the intense summer heat. ‘I’m just too cool for this kind of weather.’”
“‘Is that soooo…’ ���� sits next to ������, passing him a plastic cup filled with cold juice. ‘Whatcha readin?’”
“������ flashes the cover of the book. ‘Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, it’s a good book.’”
“‘Hmmm…’ ���� rests his head on ������’s shoulder. ���� glances over at ������’s face. His eyebrows furrowed softly in concentration. At the moment, ���� was very aware of the space (or rather the near-lack-of) between their two faces. And a dangerous and risky idea enters his head.”
“He didn’t go through with it, thankfully.”
- “‘������~...’ ���� whines, fanning himself while turning on a third electric fan. ‘How do you survive in this heat?’”
Miscellaneous items around the Library
- Medicine
- “... and his heart pounds at the thought. Just like every time he thinks about that; being with another boy. There are so many people who could hate him for that and it makes him so nervous.”
- Hourglass
- “He doesn’t like me that way. He’ll never be in love with me the way I do. It’s so hard to breathe.”
- Cherry Blossom Painting
- ‘Superliminal Theory is the idea that there is a boundless space filled with alternative realities and there are specific weak points in the world that allow multiple realities to touch or overlap.’
- Paper? 1
- Is it possible to miss something you never had?
- Paper? 2
- The waves of the universe churn underneath these lost halls. The universe’s loved, reality's forgotten. The drops of oblivion trickle down the pipeline of experience. Experiences become stories, stories become myths. Myths are forgotten. They drop, they splash. And become lost forever, in the Eternal Tide.
- Paper? 3
- Do you truly understand what people say? Is it accurate to assume that the word that comes from another person’s mouth is the truth? Truth is a flexible aspect, one that intertwines itself with the fabric of humanity in such a vital way that tearing it would cause the entire braid to unwind.
Is a metaphor a lie? Or is it the truth, accentuated? Is a metaphor a way of crossing a bridge over a wetland of ignorance? Or is it a way to paint a picture, only visible to those with rose-tinted glass?
Metaphor Mire, we are forever trapped in.
