The Ware Wolf Shop has a two item limit per month, even if you have enough Chroma for more. How does anyone decide what to buy? I know I want one orb to get one of my books that Caster asked for, and I know I want to have another orb for some of my coworkers' works... But how am I meant to choose just one? Even if I can get more later, I find it hard to say whether Kyouka's works are a higher priority than Dazai's or Chuuya's or Yosano's or Kunikida's or - well, I could go on. And that's just limiting myself to buying the orbs and limiting what I could summon to books. I could use advice? Or opinions about Japanese literature, if you have those.

[ Airplane Bro would agree! ]

What have you made of two worlds form such a different time than the one you wrote in? Or is that a presumption of inaccuracy on my part... it seems in my world hundreds of years might pass without the world drastically changing, meanwhile here I've heard more stories indicating the opposite is true. Even what little history of Lunatia we have indicates changes within two hundred years that would be striking in my home.

Even during my first lifetime, the world was changing noticeably. Coming back seventy years later? It was almost as foreign to me as Lunatia is to Earth.

[Even though he was in the same country, the same city - so much had changed that he might well say that Lunatia and modern Earth are closer than modern Earth and the Earth he remembers.]

I can only imagine. How have you been adapting to this place? It's not recogniseable to me in any aspect beyond parts of Caihong, personally.

While it has taken some getting used to, the many kind and friendly people I've met have helped my adjustment.

[Also some people who aren't kind. Or friendly. Or either kind or friendly, and yet Atsushi's still gotten a writer crush on them.]

I imagine that would be true anywhere.

Perhaps. That may carry greater faith in people than I find myself inclined toward, but this one confesses to witnessing enough lapses in intelligence, emotional or otherwise, to not take it for granted.

[ hey, it takes all types, and hearts are bigger than assholes. or. or something?! ]

There are certainly cruel people wherever you go as well, but I would like to believe that they're usually outnumbered.

[ sure, outnumbered by the indifferent! ........ why is he feeling so pessimistic about this anyway? ]

Or at the very least, not those one must spend time with unless by choice.

[ or imprisonment, he guesses, but yeah ]

[does he need a hug... or to talk...]

True as well. I don't willingly surround myself with cruel people.

[ maybe being transmigrated into a scum villain and having to deal with that has... a lot to do with this........................ hey, author, what would you do if a reader of yours was transmigrated into your novel along with you, and left to embody one of the mob villains, just like you were? ]

Which is why I hope you find yourself able to ask those people you do surround yourself with for assistance in your self-assigned task.

[...invite them over for tea?]

When you put it like that, I really don't have any counterargument.

[ Something stronger. Time to get drunk with the author whose story you're trapped inside! ]

Logic might not weigh heavy when it comes to emotion, but at least you have it on your side, too.

It's better than being so deep into emotion that you don't recognize what the logic is. Thankfully, I haven't been that bad in a while... I think?

Both extremes have their failings, in the end.

Moderation in all things, including moderation.

Goodness, when a recommendation governs itself! Not incorrect, however.

This has been a pleasant conversation. I hope you've been able to find what you've been looking for with this missive.

Thank you! I appreciate all your help, and perhaps we'll talk again sometime?

That would be a pleasure.
