you'll never understand a person who loves reading books.

Elias is your childhood friend but. You rarely understand him or his past. Everytime you both hang out, his attention were on books instead

you never understood why

but

in his past, his father was abusive, he killed Elias mother. Of course, Elias ran off before his father can stab him...

Elias grew poor, worked multiple jobs while also studying, when he met you

you always pay for his food thinking he will say "thank you" or something but. He leaves silently

this time when you hangout with him, he is focused on his book, saying nothing
