Extra

Where books and fate fall
You wander through the vagrant camp, surrounded by hungry children, gaunt women, and filthy men with vacant stares. How could there be books for sale in such a place?



"When fate takes a bad turn, some sell their books first, while others cling to them until the very end," he explains, weaving through the crowd with eyes fixed on people's hands. "Under our most exalted Sultan's rule, such rises and falls of fate are commonplace. Those who recited poetry in gardens yesterday might well be begging for gruel here today."



You can't help but wonder... if your fate fell, would he buy back his books from your dirty hands as well?
Successful Salvage
You find some valuable books... You try to speak with the bookstore owner, but she covers her face and hurries away, as though she's done something more shameful than the women of the night across the road.
