Option 1: It's a fantasy roman and it's an explanation site where things get explained including pictures.
Option 2: It was the quickest book that is also available in an "open" position that I could use.
I don't believe for a second it is the second option. Where's the drama, the deep mystery of such a mundane answer? The first option doesn't convince me either, Kuvi. What's the secret here?
No, this is an older book. The pictures are black and white, all lined up to one side. It also has a clasp, which seems a little odd, but not impossible for a textbook. A clasp like that suggests a Diary, but that's clearly not what it is.
Is it something so dangerous, so controversial that it's been disguised as something so innocuous as a simple diary? What secrets does it hold, what consequences would we face if it was revealed to Science and the general populace?
Maybe it's not cloud formations or distant galaxies but neurology. I think this is a Forbidden Book that contains advanced imagery, taken with alien tech, of what happens in our brains when society allows dangerous activities like nose boops and hand holding. This knowledge, if revealed would mean the downfall of society as we know it.
Do not let it fall into Dessolo's hands!
