Intermission 1:
In your previous life, you had a specific attachment to a children's book- The Little Engine That Could made by...er... some author.
You were little, ok?! And... your parents had kept that copy you owned back then for memory's sake and to preserve it for as long as possible. They'd gotten it for you as a present and for some encouragement so you could grow some interest in learning to read.
It was a whopping success, to both of your delights!/It took some effort on their end but eventually you got around to reading./It backfired horribly despite their best efforts. Even so, it was originally published in 1930 so chances were that you'd find it.
You hadn't intended on trying to find it but when Ma and Mom took you to the mall and you saw it displayed in a bookstore?
They couldn't understand why you were so adamant on getting the book, since you hadn't shown much interest in it before but Ma saw how you lacked that dull sadness in your eyes at that moment and she didn't need any more convincing to get it for you.
Anything to keep your eyes shining for as long as possible.
Everything you have in your MC's room belongs to Mc, not you. It meant so much to you to have something to call your own.
Especially if it was the very book that shaped a part of YOUR childhood.
Not MC.
You.
