"What are you reading there, Fluttershy?" Twilight asks her buttery yellow friend.

Fluttershy answers, making the alicorn do a double take.

"You're reading about summoning eldritch horrors? I gotta say, I didn't expect you to be into that sort of thing," Twilight says, hiding her excitement.

"Oh my, no. It's a story about a pony who broke out of jail and drowned in a river," the pegasus says with a smile.

"Really? That's... even more surprising. In a few ways, actually. That's not a bit too dark for your tastes?" Twilight asks with a tilt of her head.

"Oh, that's not why I'm reading it. It has a really interesting bit about the life cycle of a rare kind of fish. They lay eggs in the bodies of dead animals - or ponies in this case - and the eggs eat it from the inside out. When they found his body, his neck was full of them. Isn't nature just fascinating?" Fluttershy asks with a warm smile. Twilight's expression and mood both sour.

"Wait, but what does that have to do with-" Twilight begins, then changes her mind and rewords her question. "Can I see the book title?"

"Sure!" Fluttershy says, turning it toward Twilight, who reads it aloud.

"Neck Roe Nom A Con."
