"......Ah, finally. I was beginning to think you had died."
"What, not even bothering to see through my eyes anymore? Obviously I'm alive and well."
"'Well'? Something foreign has entered you. My own eyes see that plainly enough."
"Uh, yeah, that happens when some batshit crazy witch beats your ass and... Ugh. Just thinking about it makes me feel sick... Anyway, not like it'd be the first time, Archie."
"Yet, the binds hold you still... Adequate. You may dispose of the foreign entity. I will have need of you later."
"Saying it just like that... Have I mentioned how much I loathe talking to you?"
"Do you intend to mother a monster?"
"Have you looked in a mirror?"
"So apologies can make things better, but fighting makes things worse... but... I have to fight, sometimes... Is that okay? ...It does not say."
"And how do I apologize the right way...? This book does not say that either... Mother has not spoken to me in some time..."
".........This is difficult..."
"Romi, Guildmaster Novella- Have either of you encountered a golden-haired girl, bound in chains?"
"No, what-?"
"Oh, you mean Spine?"
"You know her?!"
"Yeah, found her on the side of the road a while back. She kinda reminded me of you, so I hung out with her for a bit, gave her some directions, and sent her on her way."
".........Well, I'm... grateful nothing bad happened, but that's... very unexpected."
"...Why? What's going on?"
"Oh, where do I even begin...?"
"Tyr's in... your Grimoire, and not destroyed? Well, that's..."
That's a first. But she wouldn't be against it, no, and as much as Ashtart would call in for a vote to destroy it... Library was the one who majorly carried them through that fight, after all, and the world is all the better for it.
But that means... it already exists in this world... Something which everyone failed to forsee...
"I can always head over to the Edge to check, but... what are we looking for here, Library? To destroy it completely once and for all? How would it relate to rescuing Spine?"
"...I don't know. All I can say with certainty is that it existed before I sealed Tyr away. But knowing where my mother found it might be of use, if only in discerning her movements in Estoria. The more information we have, the better... And we have far too little right now."
"...I'm sorry. My family matters have once again become another world's problem... This really shouldn't fall to you, or anyone else. But I am grateful for the help..."
"I'll... try to come up with a way to pacify Spine, should it come to that. I hope it won't, but my mother... She does not repeat her mistakes. Simply talking won't be enough to sway Spine's devotion to her, I'm sure."

Flandre can't help but feel there's something Library isn't telling him. Something that would explain her reasoning for saying in a hole in the ground. Was it simply comfort? Was there something special about this hole? Or was it truly just a desire to not abandon her dear friend to live with Flandre?
"..."
The stuffed animal does give him pause, not because he thought he saw something, but because he can tell for sure that Romia isn't being silly. There's something there, something more, something substantial, something... familiar. A soul within that doll, similar to the one he kept, but far less... problematic?
He will have to pick her brain about that at some point.
"Couldn't handle you? Well, aren't you quite the troublemaker? But... there is, perhaps, an arrangement that could be made? That is, assuming you're willing to be a good girl?"
"You see, I was considering creating a link, between your home and mine. A stable gate that would allow you and Passage to travel between our homes instantaneously, with little to no magic required to use. In a way, making it so we share a home, without having to abandon this one. And it could be arranged that Miss Romia could visit, provided that she is required to not leave the House of Lights, save for an emergency. Would you permit such a thing?"
"I could finally go to Estoria?!" Romia was the first to jump at that opportunity, shooting right up from her seat, hands balled up in excitement. Passage flashed Flandre a smile, while Library merely sighed again, reaching up to pull Romia's hands back down.
"I suppose Romia couldn't get up to too much trouble at the House of Lights, provided she can restrain herself at least a little and not come onto every woman she meets..." Library remarked, as Romia was gradually pulled back down to her seat, the excitement dissipating shortly after. "A link here, however, is a bit..."
"Mom..." Passage spoke up after a brief pause, when it became clear Library wasn't going to finish her sentence. "Do you not want to live with Dad? How come?" She asked, her smile having dropped, her gaze fixated on her mother with an expression full of sadness, and confusion.
"It's not that, Passage, please don't worry. I've just never considered..." Another pause- As if Library herself was unsure what it was that was stopping her. Why did she hesitate to tie herself to a home like that? She couldn't say. The words to answer her daughter escaped her... Until Romia interjected.
"Nia... Isn't it about time? You can't wander forever." She said to her, one hand moving to rest atop Library's own, emerald eyes staring right into Library's golden irises. For several seconds, their eye contact remained unbroken; It was only when Library looked down, and took a deep breath, that the conversation progressed.
"...No, you're right. Maybe it is time for me to... 'lay down my roots', so to speak. Thank you, Romi... And thank you too, Flandre." She said as she turned to him, meeting his gaze once more. "I'd be happy to help you establish that link- and if it's alright with you, it... might be better for Passage to live in Estoria, for the time being. I think she'd experience more freedom there, than here with me." Library added, taking a glance towards their daughter, who was now smiling brightly once again.
"And then Mom can come and visit us anytime...! And we can visit Mom anytime!"

@muse-matrix continued from Here:
"Eh? Did I... do something to her?" He's running through his mind, asking his other three parts about Romia, none seem to recall ever bothering her. How odd... A dream she says?
"My appearance is rather... distinct, could she have some form of precognitive power?" Library's expression doesn't seem to suggest that. A happenstance of fate perhaps?
"Wait, could it be..."
"...that I'm overthinking this?"
"Haha... a lively start to things, I suppose. Now, I must admit, when Passage said you live in a hole in the ground, I hadn't quite imagined something quite so literal. Seems cozy enough, well insulated against the weather at least, but aren't you concerned about long term moisture damage? About dirt getting into your supplies?"
Normally he'd try to be polite and not air these concerns, but this entire visit was at Passage's behest. The least he could do is make a few logical points in her favour.
But... he is starting to understand why Library does not want to live in the House of Lights, this Romia girl... he gets the feeling she's the type to get lonely, and Library seems quite fond of her. There is likely an unsaid reason she cannot be brought to his estate... some dark secret? A past trauma?
Well, at the very least the food is... well it's sweet. probably his favourite among it is the fish.
"A bit of dirt matters little to me- It's not as though it presents any kind of hazard for me. As for my books..." She took a glance over to the pile of tomes stacked up in the corner- All discarded drafts and dysfunctional grimoires... She felt a bit of shame that she simply hadn't cleaned those up yet. Perhaps she'd just not mention that particular detail. "...I've taken steps to ensure they won't be damaged. They'll be fine." She gave a vague non-answer, before taking a bite out of her own piece of fish.
"Yeah, um, sorry about that." Romia, in the meantime, had recovered her composure. She once again wore her usual carefree smile, munching on some of the fruits. "It's, uh, nice to meet another friend of Nia's. You're Passage's... father? Right?" She glanced over to the child, who was still happily nibbling at her cookie.
"You seem like a nice guy... You're some kind of doctor, right? Passage has talked about you a lot. You're kind of an idol to her, y'know-"
"Aunt Romia, don't say that, that's embarrassing!" Passage interjected, briefly forgoing the sweet taste of her cookie. "Dad doesn't need to know everything..."
"Hey, he's your dad, he's gonna find out anyway. Trust me, I would know." Romia lifted the large plushie she always carried, as if to demonstrate some point only she really understood. Passage just tilted her head at it with a little confusion.
Though, for a moment... It did seem like its eye might have shifted just slightly, looking Flandre's direction-
"Romi, not at the dinner table, please." Library said with a small sigh, prompting the green-haired girl to set the plushie down, a slightly embarrassed look on her face. Passage looked between her two parents, before bringing the half-eaten cookie back to her lips.
"Still, though... It sure would be nice to visit where you come from sometime, y'know, Flandre..."
"Romi we've been over this... Estoria could not handle you."
"Aunt Romia's getting grounded..."
It's time. The day has come, when Flandre finally goes to see where Library has been living. And it's this day that Library would learn... that Flandre doesn't have as much control over his own appearance as other people. He's still wearing his labcoat and pyjamas, unable to convince that personality to wear something else. He has, however, managed to change into loafers instead of slippers. Pink bunny loafers, but it's an improvement. His coat is pristine and white instead of its usual messy grey, his sleep mask is in the front pocket of the coat instead of on his forehead, and he even brushed his hair.
A sort of, well-polished mess, if you will.
"Alright, Library, Passage... I'm as ready as I'll ever be."
Library's home is... much as she had described. A literal hole in the ground, dug out beneath a large tree. Dirt and roots form the little hovel's walls, while a layer of tough clay and rock forms the ground- atop which were a number of carpets spread out all across the floor, to keep shoes and feet... perhaps not clean, but less dirty while inside. A few small indents in the walls held candles to keep the place lit, even if it was still rather dim inside. Where normally light would have come from the sun filtering in through the entryway, it had already dipped below the horizon, offering Flandre safety from that particular hazard.
The room itself was spacious, for being a hole under a tree, enough to accommodate five, maybe six people comfortably. A few things decorated the corners of the place; A pair of bedrolls, a pile of books, and a single low table. The table was set with a handful of dishes- Some fish, a mix of sliced-up fruits and vegetables, and a pile of cookies, likely all things Romia had prepared.
And sat around that little table were three figures, each turning to meet Flandre's gaze when he entered.
"Ooh, Dad's here!" Passage, sat between the other two, who had already been nibbling on a cookie before his arrival.
"Yes... I hope you feel enough at home. I know this is hardly anything, compared to the sprawling House of Lights you call home..." Library, to Passage's right, who briefly averted her gaze.
And to Passage's left, who leapt to her feet after a brief pause...
"OHHHHHHHHHH IT'S YOU!!!" Romia blurted out, a single finger pointed dramatically Flandre's direction.
"R-Romi? What...?"
Another pause, followed by silence.
".........Ohhhhhh my gosh, I'm so sorry, forget I said anything!" Romia dropped right back down into her seat, putting her hands on her head, and shaking it vigorously. "Just a bad dream, just a bad dream..."
"Did aunt Romia eat something bad before bed last night...?" Passage asked idly, prompting a sigh from Library.
"Er... Please forgive that outburst, Flandre- I don't know what just happened, but Romi has always been a bit eccentric..."
It seemed it was going to be a peculiar dinner indeed.
"I... hope you're right. I don't think Chloe isn't ready for Archivist, or able to take another attack from Spine..."
He is a bit of a worried father, after all.
As for Ashtart... she tapped her chin a bit, deep in thought.
"There... can't be anything else. You've been there yourself, Library. We went to the Edge of the World to fight against Tyr, and you banished her off for good. I pretty much spent a good chunk of my life trying to get rid of her influence."
"Except... for where we fought Tyr herself. At the Edge of the World, Library, at the ocean. How throughout were you when you sealed her...?"
Library lets out a long, heavy sigh at that question. She tucked a hand into her robes and withdrew a thin, black book- bound tightly with chains and a strong lock.
"Tyr still rests here, bound within this Grimoire." She says plainly, though her voice carries a tinge of disappointment... or regret, perhaps. Her exact feelings remained unclear.
"So long as it remains sealed, it is impossible for her power to escape. And as you can see, the lock is still intact. Whatever piece of her power my mother found, it already existed in this world."
She keeps the book gripped in her hands for a few moments, before stowing it away in her robes again. Another smaller sigh leaves her lips.
"It is nothing but an endless, empty void, where this world's goddess now resides. All of creation lies far beyond her reach. I can promise you that, at the very least."
Thus, another event is written into canon

"HE DID WHAT?"
"...Romi, what even is this?"
"So umm, aunt Romia, how did you meet Mom?"
"Oh, I snuck into her house while my dad was visiting her mom. Then I helped her sneak into town cause her mom wouldn't let her."
"Huh? Mom didn't listen to her mom...? But-"
"Okay, you maybe shouldn't take me as a role model. Let's just say I made your mom do some kinda stupid things when we were kids."
".........But you're still Mom's best friend?"
"She changed me, I changed her. It's what friends do."
"I don't get it..."
