<text2>Of course! Let me write down your details so I don't have to keep on questioning you if you ever decide to come back, you know.
Now, where did I put my notebook? I can't believe this...
Sorry. My memory is not what it used to be, you know. Oh, here it is. Now, the pen... Can you believe it? I'm not even thirty and my memory is <u>this</u> bad. I always loose or misplace my— Ah! here. It was in my pocket.
Okay.
Can you please write your name right here, see? I'd hate to get it wrong and have you to spell it out for me. It happened more than once already. You can use my pen. Here.</text2>

<text2>Very well, $name, that's all I need for now.
Okay, so the first thing you have to know is that this library is not like any other.
Somehow —and don't ask me how, because I don't know— somehow, every single person that has enter this library has found what they wanted in the collecttion that we had at the moment.</text2>

<text2>It never failed. I mean, no one has ever complained since the day I started working here.
Uhm... You’d think after so long, I’d get the hang of it. Explaining the Archive to people, I mean.
Let's see... do I explain this?
Think of the books as if they were clothes. While there exists a shirt of every kind, color and style, only one size will fit you exactly.
And the library is like you're personal tailor. With a glance and a poke it'll know your exact size even you yourself don't.</text2>
<div id="clickHere">[[Yeah, no. The more you went on the more confusing in got.|0.5]]</div></div><div id="myBox">
<text2>How about... Just trust the process and see?</text2>
<div id="clickHere">[[Alright.|0.6]]</div></div><div id="myBox">
<text2>Awesome! I knew I'd convince you. Okay, right this way, then.</text2>

<text2>Before we cross the door, I think I should warn you. The change of scenary can be a little overwhelming, especially the first time. I know because I've seen it in people's reactions. Everyone is always so reluctant about the library only to find their mind blown when they first see it.
I think it’s the sudden difference between the rooms’ dimensions. the lobby is <u>very</u> small compared to the library itself. i troy to count the bookshelves sometimes, and let me tell you. it’s pretty much impossible. they seem to go on forever.
But my favorite part? the ceiling. Oh, you’ve got to see the ceiling. it’s like a massive collection of different sky paintings all bleeding into one another. and they move!</text2>
<div id="clickHere">[[There are a billion questions I wanna ask!|1.2]]</div><div id="clickHere">[[Cool. But what about my book?|1.2A]]</div></div><div id="myBox">
<text2>Don't worry, I'll bring you to see the library after you've seen the collection if you want. For now, let's focus on your book, yeah?</text2>
<div id="clickHere">[[If the collection is not in the library Where do you even keep it?|1.3]]</div></div><div id="myBox">
<text2>Well, the library is open to anyone and everyone. It's not so much different to any other in that regard.
But the collection can be viewed only by those with a special request, which is to find their own perfect book. It's personal and unique to every reader, it's not something that'd is to be displayed for anyone to see.</text2>
<div id="clickHere">[[You have a collection for everyone?|1.4]]</div></div><div id="myBox">
<text2>Yes, with no exception. Unless it the same person with the same exact interests and needs as the previous visit.</text2>

<text2>That excited about the book? Not even a little curious about the library at all?
Well, alright. I'll bring you to the library another time if you ever change your mind. We're going to the collection anyway, so don't worry. You'll have your book in no time at all!</text2>
<div id="clickHere">[[If the collection is not in the library Where do you even keep it?|1.3]]</div></div><div id="myBox">
<text2>We have one for anyone who'd like it. But we don't have them all in the same room, not at the same time at least. The library generates the right collection for you specificatelly the moment you step into the room where we keep it.</text2>
<div id="clickHere">[[So it changes every time?|1.5]]</div></div><div id="myBox">
<text2>Exactly.
It's a magical library. What did you expect?
TThe bigger the colletion the longer the search.
Or did you expect to get your own personal bookshelf?</text2>
<div id="clickHere">[[I mean, that'd be pretty awesome.|1.8]]</div></div><div id="myBox">
<text2>Okay, I'll give you that. It'd be really awesome. But if you think about it, the library is open 24/7. So, if I were you, with that logic, I'd go to the library itself, not to the collection.
But enough of that for now, we can continue later. I don't want to keep you from your book!</text2>

Before you go on, the Library needs one more thing from you.

Permission to gather information about you during your stay at the Library.

Contrary to the librarian's belief, the Library needs information to fulfill its subject's request.
Without your permission the Library cannot begin its research and the collection will not be created.

Not yet. Not unless and until the Library has permission to gather information.
