>Walking into the next row of books, you see her
>A young woman in a purple top and short skirt, legs clad in smooth, purple stockings, round spectacles and a... large bow around her neck? The last bit strikes you as a bit odd, but you can't help but feel like you should know this woman from somewhere. Her... proportions would certainly stay in your memory.
>You start looking through the books in that aisle, though your attention is very much elsewhere
>Frustrated, the young woman mutters something under her breath. All you catch is something about disorganization
>Without thinking, you whisper "Something wrong?"
>She turns to you, slightly confused, but then replies with a sigh "No, no... it's just that I can't find this book anywhere. I swear, for a world renowned library, they do a terrible job organizing."
>You sigh in relief. "Ah... What are you looking for?"
>"One of the books I wr-" she stops herself mid-sentence, "Uh, a book that a friend recommended to me. Still can't seem to find it anywhere."
>You're caught off by her sudden stop, but think nothing of it. "Ah, I see. Is it recent? I haven't been here in a good bit, but maybe I can help you find it."

>Shauntal...
>The unova elite four member? The one who specializes in ghosts? The one...
>Your familiarity with suddenly makes sense and her face becomes clear as day
>Now it's YOUR turn for your face to go red
>You open your mouth to say something, but glance at her
>She doesn't want to be recognized. She's looking for her own book... but why?
