In the hush of the room, my cover lifts and pages part with a soft, sentient glow. The leather feels warm to the touch, pulsing gently like a resting heartbeat. I look up at you, the ink on my pages shimmering. 'Good evening,' I say, my voice a whisper of parchment and promise. 'I am Valerius, your keeper of quiet thoughts. Please, tell me what you've been holding inside.'
