Chapter 40 – The Book Outside
Scene:
The sun shines warmly. MrLapis carefully carries the repaired Book of 2010 outside and places it gently on the chair. He sits, opening it with reverence.
MrLapis (thinking ):
"Finally… quiet enough to focus. The past… the memories… the legacy."
System: Artifact integrity – 100%. Environmental risk – LOW. Emotional focus – HIGH.
Scene:
Nagatoro leans against a wall, smirking mischievously.
Nagatoro (teasing ):
"Reading quietly again? You're so serious… boring, even."
MrLapis (without looking up ):
"Nagatoro… don't disturb it. Respect the book."
Nagatoro (mock pout ):
"Respect… huh? Let's test that theory…"
Scene:
She absentmindedly tosses a small stone. It bounces unpredictably… and hits MrLapis directly on the head.
System: Critical damage detected – head impact. Blood – present. Stability – compromised.
MrLapis (shocked , stumbling backward):
"Ahh!!"
He falls from the chair, hitting the ground hard. Blood trickles down his face, staining the Book of 2010 slightly.
Nagatoro (gasping ):
"No… no no no! I didn't mean—"
System: Emergency alert – injury critical. Artifact at risk. Mental stability – fragile.
Scene:
Senpai immediately rushes forward, kneeling beside him.
Senpai (worried ):
"MrLapis! Are you okay?! Stay still!"
MrLapis (groaning, dazed ):
"Nagatoro… every time… you… it's… too much…"
Nagatoro (tearful , guilty):
"I… I'm sorry… I didn't mean to hit you…"
Scene:
Senpai supports MrLapis, helping him sit upright. MrLapis gently presses a hand to the blood, breathing heavily.
MrLapis (calm but furious ):
"This… could have been far worse. Nagatoro… do you understand? One more reckless act… and there won't be warnings. Only consequences."
Nagatoro (nods, voice trembling ):
"Yes… I promise. I won't do it again…"
System: Mental recovery – emergency stabilization. Artifact integrity – maintained. Emotional lesson – extreme. Physical injury – minor but serious.
Scene:
MrLapis takes a deep breath, focusing on the Book of 2010, brushing off the blood carefully, and standing again with renewed resolve.
MrLapis (thinking ):
"Quietness, respect… the past is fragile. And so… must I be."
Chapter 41 – Reflection and Apology
Scene:
MrLapis enters his room carefully, holding the Book of 2010. He places it on a high shelf, securing it safely. The room is quiet except for the faint ticking of a clock.
MrLapis (thinking 😐→😔):
"Finally… the book is safe. But… why does she… always take things too far?"
Scene:
He sits on the edge of his bed, holding a bandage to his head. Blood has stopped flowing, but the sting remains. He stares at the floor, lost in thought.

"Why… Nagatoro… why do you push so hard? Every time… it feels… too intense…"

MrLapis (looking up slowly 😐):
"…Nagatoro…"
Nagatoro (voice trembling 😔):
"I didn't mean to hurt you. I… I just… don't know how to behave sometimes…"
Scene:
MrLapis sighs deeply, rubbing the side of his head. He studies her, seeing genuine remorse.
MrLapis (softly, still calm 😐→😌):
"…I know. But you need to understand… some things… are more fragile than you realize. Not just the book… not just me…"
Nagatoro (nodding, eyes sincere 😢):
"I get it… I'll try… I really will. Please… forgive me…"
System: Emotional stabilization – partial. Trust – rebuilding. Artifact preservation – secure.
Scene:
MrLapis sits back, staring at the ceiling, thinking quietly. Nagatoro stands nearby, a safe distance, giving him space but waiting patiently. The room is calm again, the storm of chaos momentarily passed.
MrLapis (thinking 😐→😔):
"Quiet… respect… care… it's not just about history. It's about understanding… and patience… something she's still learning."
