a thing with the secret history...

they all live forever. because we talk about them. maybe a cliche thing to say, but richard made sure they will all live on.

because literature is very rarely, if ever, truly lost and never found. richard's fictionalized memorial will ensure every single one of them lives forever, just as richard met them and knew them. they will live, and they will die, but their perfect forms will be suspended in time, having troubles with their passports.

If you're lamenting the fact that you used to be able to shoot through a 500-page novel in like a day when you were in middle school and now you can't, it's worth bearing in mind that a big part of that is because when you were in middle school, your reading comprehension sucked. Yes, mental health and the stresses of adult life can definitely be factors, but it's also the case that reading is typically more effortful as an adult because you've learned to Ponder The Implications. The material isn't just skimming over the surface of your brain anymore, and some of the spoons you used to spend on maximising your daily page count are now spent on actually thinking about what you're reading!
