It's a bit cheap, "no I'm not going to sign the book you especially brought along, here take this one I already signed, oh and you have to pay for it". A way to sell extra books, I suppose. No surprise the signing would go so badly, though, as Pia is a chaos gremlin. Her life as depicted so far has been a series of little mishaps, and the occasional big mishap. She found friends by accident, came out by accident, got a pet by accident, got access to the most inaccessible person in the village by accident. It's her style.

Been there, done that. College bookstore, extremely crowded--knocked over someone's cart and purchases, scramble to help pick them up. No friends around who might understand, just strangers. Arms full, face red, ready to cry, got to the door ("whew!") and: "hey you forgot to pay!" Hopefully salvation lies ahead for our Pia.

Don't cry Pia! You'll make me cry, and I really don't like crying. Quick Clover, send in a wild Roomie to save the day!

OH NO this is so sad, clover WHYYYYY
I'm desperately hoping for the twist now, like L.T. finds the crunched paper and loves the idea or something... but also wow, I've felt like this so many times. Many hugs to Pia :{
