Who wouldn’t rather lose themselves in a book than have to struggle through a possibly awkward conversation with a human?

if you have a crush on someone, you can take a risk and tell them or you can change your name, become a count, uncover a massive fortune in gold and jewels buried on a remote isle and slowly avenge yourself on her husband who threw you in prison to die.
