Boucheron: Why? Why would they do such a thing?
Boucheron: It’s just…not fair!
Framme: Hey. Boucheron, right?
Boucheron: Yes. And you’re…Framme, right?
Boucheron: What…what is it? Do you…need me for something?
Framme: Um, no. I’m fine.
Framme: I heard somebody crying their eyes out and I got concerned, is all.
Boucheron: Ah. Right. Sorry for worrying you. I’m all right.
Framme: OK… But then what’s with the sobbing?
Boucheron: I was reading this book, and I just get so swept up in the story.
Framme: A book did this to you?
Boucheron: People tell me I cry too easily. The littlest thing is enough to set me off.
Framme: OK, I gotcha. So what’s this book about?
Boucheron: Well, there are these siblings who are separated during a war and later meet again as enemies.
Framme: Huh. Sounds interesting.
Boucheron: I’d be happy to lend it to you after I’m finished.
Framme: Thanks for the offer, but I’ll pass. I don’t really… Well, I’m not a big reader.
Boucheron: Oh, now that’s a shame.
Boucheron: Ah! What if I read it to you instead?
Framme: What?! That’s sweet and all, but I couldn’t ask you to read to me like a little kid.
Boucheron: Think nothing of it. I know you’d love the story just as much as I do.
Framme: In that case… Sure! Why not?

Boucheron: “And with that, the long war was over. The two siblings would know peace at last.
Boucheron: “There would be time for them to live simply and happily, and with each other. The end.”
Framme: …
Framme: WAAAAAH!
Framme: They finally…got reunited! Thank GOODNESS!
Boucheron: I know! It’s a relief, isn’t it? I’m getting misty- eyed again just thinking about it.
Framme: To be honest…you were crying so hard, I…missed some of the middle parts.
Framme: But still─so good!
Boucheron: That’s great! I knew you’d love it!
Framme: I totally get now why you cry at books.
Framme: Who knew they could be so…beautiful? I’ve only read the boring ones, I guess.
Boucheron: Well, there’s a wide world of captivating ones out there if you’re interested.
Boucheron: If you liked what we just read, I can recommend something. It’s set at an officers academy.
Boucheron: The series is famous for its political intrigue and deep characters. It’s up to 30 volumes now.
Framme: Wow. That’s a lot.
Boucheron: I’d love to discuss it with you once you finish the whole set.
Framme: Hm… I don’t think I can get through 30 books on my own.
Framme: But I can’t have you read all that to me, obviously. So…don’t hold your breath, OK?
Framme: I’m just a really slow reader. I wouldn’t want to keep you waiting.
Boucheron: Oh…OK. If that’s what you think best.
Framme: Anyway, thanks! You definitely showed me how interesting books can be.
Boucheron: Good. I’m glad to have shown you the light.

A Support:

Boucheron: Framme? I have a gift for you.
Framme: For me?
Boucheron: Here. I think you’ll like it.
Framme: Huh. Is this another book you want me to read?
Boucheron: Just open it.
Framme: OK…
Framme: Wait a second.
Framme: There aren’t any words in here. It’s blank!
Boucheron: That’s right.
Framme: Boucheron, is this some kind of prank?
Boucheron: No, no. There’s a good reason why this book is blank.
Boucheron: It’s so you can write your own story.
Framme: Write? Me?
Boucheron: Yes. Since there aren’t many books that interest you, I thought you might like writing better.
Framme: There’s no way I could write a whole book on my own.
Boucheron: You don’t need to write a good story. You could use it like a journal instead, if you want.
Boucheron: I just think it’ll be easier for you to read something you wrote yourself.
Framme: Hm…
Framme: All right, then. To start off, I’ll write about the day we met.
Boucheron: Of all places, that’s where you’re going to begin?
Framme: Sure! I thought it was a sweet moment.
Boucheron: What, with me bawling?
Framme: Trust me, it was memorable. I can still picture every last tear rolling down your face.
Boucheron: Hm-hm, well… So long as you let me read it for myself someday.
Framme: Deal. As soon as it’s done, you’ll be the first to lay eyes on my masterpiece.
Framme: Watch out, though. Gonna be a real tearjerker!
Boucheron: I’ll keep my hankie dry just in case.
