Luke Corvus. That's his name and he likes to read.
On top of reading books.
Luke likes to read people.
Luke likes to poke and prod at people's minds. Seeing what makes different people tick. He's like a watch maker. Except all his watches are already built,and all he does is take them apart, and put them back together.
Luke enjoys it. Seeing what each button on a watch does. The watch being a person and the buttons... The buttons differ from person to person. They can be topics,words,objects,colors. You name it.
He's not a detective.
He's a watch builder. That doesn't build watches.
He's a book reader that reads people.
At least... He thought he read people. Until she came into his life.
Her.
The variable.
The Blank Book.
The Broken Watch.
He didn't understand her.
Everything about her perplexed him.
He felt odd.
He found an unknown cog in the watch that is the world.
And he would find out just how to read her.
Even if it meant building a watch.
Even if it meant writing a book.
