   "I'll be a part of this world? What do you mean?"

   The man from the bookshop sigh and stare right into my eyes. "Have you ever wonder what will happen to you if the fictional world collapsed?"

   I frown at him and look at the rude voice. Didn't that person already told me what will happen? "I will die. If the fictional world perishes, I will perish too."

   The man from the bookshop nods his head. "It's true, but it's also not entirely true. What Pearce told you is just a partial truth." The man then glared at Pearce. So, Pearce is his name. I see.
