“Reina hadn't known her mother very well, but she was pretty sure that this speech was a very sad way for her story to end -- that all could be said of her unremarkable life was that she was proficient at two jobs.

“Perhaps it was a tired thing, all references the world had already made to the Ptolemaic Royal Library of Alexandria. History had proven the library to be an endlessly fascinating as a subject, either because the obsession with what it might have contained was bound only be the imagination or because humanity longs for things most ardently as a collective. All men can love a forbidden thing, generally speaking, and in most cases knowledge is precisely that; lost knowledge even more so. Tired or not, there is something for everyone to long for when it comes to the Library of Alexandria, and we have always been a species highly susceptible to the call of the distant unknown.”
