"...Intimate." Beat. "Not that kind of intimate," Jean clarifies. "At Lobotomy Corporation, she could not fight alongside us, as desperately as she wished to. The Library was, in some ways, a far vaster space. Its dimensions were not constrained by limitations like space, or engineering. And yet, there were so few of us there, compared to L-Corp Headquarters. Just five, for the Floor of Language, Madam Gebura included. We were in frequent contact; we often met with other teams to compare books, to socialize. She could be...difficult, to be around, it's true. She was so heavy with memory and regret that at times it was as if she wasn't there. And yet, when it mattered, she made herself be there, for us."
