>"Hmmmm. that is true. While I often feel like I'm the only one making use of it, it's more accurate to say that my... the library is shared... or borrowed. I am... probably overprotective of the books, but they really can be very precious."
>sigh
>"But with Marisa regularly stealing them, now, I suppose I can't afford to be too strict about it..."
>Who brought the books to the SDM library, Patchu or Remi?
>should we bring up the hemlock incident? Ugly, but it's worth knowing where this has gotten to in the past, and smoothing it over honestly. Or if it was a misunderstanding, somehow. Did we do anything mean to her in the past, for that matter...?
>"Also... Sakuya, I'd like to thank you for being willing to talk this over."
