“Klauden loved books. Burning the journal made his skin crawl. Even though he had read every word and committed most of it to memory, it still pained him to lose such knowledge, to know that he was now the only one who contained the words, and when he was gone, the information contained in those pages would go with him. Of course, he knew that such was the way of secrets, but it still hurt him to burn a book, regardless of the sound logic behind the action.”
