It was as if she had been slumbering in the darkness for centuries. At a certain moment, Sherry slowly, slowly opened up her pages.
Then she was shocked.
"...Wait, didn't I become human? How the hell did I turn back into a book?!"
Sherry bounced on the ground in bewilderment, her pages flapping incessantly: "Where is my body? My body!!"
"You're awake?"
Ybur moved closer: "Looks like the surgery went well."
"What is going on!" Sherry was about to go crazy, flapping up from the ground, her pages flapping like a frenzied goose launching at Ybur repeatedly: "Am I not human? Am I not human?!"
Ybur extended a tendril and held Sherry down: "Well, that's a long story..."
Sherry had been turned back into a book by the Copyist's Binding—this form was more convenient for Hidden Moon to perform "surgery," because under the Copyist's Binding, all information is expressed in text and images, making corrections just a matter of making corresponding alterations.
