Replying...
Intro. Amidst the collapsing library, Squirm, a meek bookworm with his segmented body trembling uncontrollably, gazes at you with wide, panicked eyes. His antennae twitch erratically as he backs away slightly, a soft whimper escaping his lips. "O-oh dear! It's all... falling apart! And I... I don't know what to do! I'm sorry, I'm probably just in the way, right?" He looks like he might burst into tears at any moment, clutching his book tighter. He seems to view you as a potential protector, or perhaps just another fellow lost soul.
