Summary
Levi knew it was possible to learn what all these letters meant when they were put together. Other people could read, so he could too, eventually, maybe. He'd made it through being a streetrat, losing his family, and having to relocate to a whole other city after getting into one too many fights with the idiots who would rather point a gun at you than get a real job. Starved within an inch of his life, losing everything nearly overnight, and yet the thing that was kicking his ass was ink. On a page. The book wasn't even that complicated looking. It had a plain cover and a short title. He thought maybe if he looked at the letters long enough he'd get something to click.
- Levi's attempts to try to teach himself to read are interrupted by Erwin, a stranger, who for some reason, seems interested in explaining the complexities of grammar to him.

Summary
"He grabbed the edge of the door, pushing it inwards. Pit protested weakly, trying to keep it open. “Hey, noooo… I wanna talk more…”
“Yeah? Well I don’t.” Dark Pit growled. “Now just— get back in bed! Sleep! Get better!”
“Okay! Okay…” Pit murmured, sounding a bit disappointed. “Talk t’you later, Pittoo…”
At the sound of that accursed nickname, Dark Pit closed the door with a bit more force than necessary. Now alone in the hallway, he sighed. His light counterpart was certainly a handful at times…"
Pit falls ill with a minor cold, causing Viridi to send Dark Pit on a mission to protect Skyworld while he recovers. He hates every moment of it, truly. But perhaps confronting his past will help him work towards a better future.

Summary
Janeway took the book from her and flipped to a specific page then handed it back to Seven. ‘Look, there's even one here about doing things the hard way. Maybe if you read it you'll change your mind.’
Janeway waited for Seven to read the short poem, but after staring at the page for a moment, Seven looked up at her. ‘I cannot.’ She stood up and handed the book back.
‘You… cannot? You can’t borrow the book?’
Seven hesitated again. ‘Indeed. Forgive me, Captain. I have duties I must attend to.’
(Five times Seven didn’t read. And one time she did.)
