"Buzzzzz!"
In some unknowably deep, unknowably pitch-black lower layer of darkness, with a strange ripple flashing past, a perfectly square book suddenly appeared in midair, as if it had just crossed over from somewhere, and began to fall toward the darkness ahead.
"Oww-ow-ow!"
The book that was tumbling in midair managed, with great difficulty, to twist itself over, doing everything in its power to stop itself from continuing to plummet. Even so, the "face" on its cover—nothing but a single eye—was looking around nervously and warily into the surrounding darkness, as if trying to assess the environment.
After sensing the overwhelmingly scorching heat here and that dense, terrifying aura, even he, a mere book, couldn't help shrinking back a little in fright.
