The book of love is long and boring
After Remi and Isla healed him, Sam was physically better. But in every other way, every way that mattered...he was still damaged. A crack that had begun months ago when he'd fallen off of the Bone Bridge (not that he remembered it) and now has split him, cut his soul in two and tossed the parts to either side. He had lost the last shreds of himself when he'd hit Cornelius in the Spire.
Going home felt odd, for some reason, but he still felt an intense need to hide. To return, to get away. The only place he had as a sanctuary. Not the Loreseeker's guild - there was the chance of people waiting with expectations; something he really could not handle right now.
Sat on the floor beneath the history books (or at least, a clump of them. The organisation here was not much to write home about) he was 'reading', staring past the top of a book held in his knee as he played the scenes from the Spire over and over. Zariah's uncomfortably accurate words about him, his violent act against what he had thought was a fake memory, the pain and confusion of the Cores appearance...
Giving up on actually reading, he sighed and tipped his head up against the shelf, stared up at the ceiling.

No one can lift the damn thing
