After a few hours, Vincent sat in the mansion's library with his legs stretched as he read a book. He heard a pair of footsteps approaching the room. 

"… we have the biggest library compared to anyone in Skellington," Vincent heard his sister Marceline's voice. 

The young vampiress stepped into the library with her friend, a boy named Maxwell Anderson, who lived with his family at the edge of the town. The Anderson family were one of the high-status werewolves.

Marceline continued explaining, "What book did you want to read? You will find all the unique books here, Max. Oh, Vince. I didn't know you were here."

"I hope you aren't turning blind," Vincent murmured, and his sister huffed. 

"My eyes are perfect. Isn't that right, Max?"

"You have lovely eyes, Marceline. Vincent must be joking," replied the boy named Max, who had freckles on his nose and black hair.
