The next day I was walking over to see Licht when I felt an odd sensation. I was previously thinking about quotes I loved by Shakespeare. I stopped dead in my tracks to think about what I was feeling. I then ran in the direction of Licht and went to find him. The moment I stepped into the room he was in, I saw him kick an innocent headgehog. "What are you doing to that poor animal, Licht! "I yelled. He stopped mid-kick when I yelled. He dropped the animal and it ran over to me as I sat on the floor. "Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much" I began. I saw the hedgehog look at me with shining eyes as I did so. "Which mannerly devotion shows in this; for saints hace hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, and palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss" I said with passion. I heard Licht groan in frustration,  "How will I deal with two fans of Shakespeare! This is way too hard-". He was cut off mid-sentence by me yelping in surprise. Why, you ask? The hedgehog had turned into a person! It was a man with red rimmed glasses, blonde hair dip dyed black tips, a scarf around his neck and other things. His eyes sparkled and he had tears in his eyes,"Have not saint lips, and holy palmers too?" "Ay, pilgrim, lips that must use in prayer", I said without thinking. "O, then dear saint, let lips do what hands do; they pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair" "Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake" "ALRIGHT! ENOUGH OF THAT! "Licht yelled at us.

I looked over at Licht and giggled. "Yeah, do you really think I will give up my love for the work of Will? Ha! You can dream on!" I declared. Seconds later there was a slam of a door. Licht was gone.

I looked over to the man,"How much of thee tragedy does thy know?" I asked, "Almost everything by heart!" he said proudly. A grin spread across my face at his comment. "Well, Romeo, let us see how much you know". My favorite part was Juliet on the balcony, with Romeo looking at her from below.  "O Romeo, Romeo. Wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name; or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, and i'll no longer be a Capulet" he let out a gasp "Shall I hear more or shall I speak of this? " "Tis by thy name this is the enemy; thou art thyself, though not a Montague? It is nor hand nor foot, nor arm, nor face nor any part belonging to a man. O, be some other name! What is a name? That  which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet; so Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd. Retain that dear perfection which he owes. Without that title. Romeo doff thy name. And for the name which is not part of thee. Take all myself" "I take thee at thy word; call me but love, and i'll be new baptized; henceforth I never will be Romeo".

I looked deeply into the eyes of the man. He really did know his Shakespeare. I lay on the floor, content.  "I never met someone who was in love with the work of Shakespeare like I am, until now that is" I said. "The name is Lawless,  my beautiful Juliet" he said, offering me assistance to get up. "Well, Romeo, my name is y/n". The moment got ruined by Licht running in and kicked Lawless into the wall. I then hit him in the head, knocking him out. "Idiot..." I muttered.
