“Though I doubted I would ever be blessed with a mate of my own, I still wished to plan for the possibility. The bookstores in Starzzia are popular among the human females who live here. Eventually, I went from purchasing books from Earth to further my studies to buying them in the hope that one day I would have a mate of my own who might enjoy them. And offspring, too. I have collected many children’s books as well.”
