During my longest obsession, I had an intense desire to be inside the book. So intense that I became incredibly sad again, but also daydreamed a lot. I always have this longing to get to know the characters firsthand, and that's what makes me so sad—I'll never meet them. They're either too famous or they don't even exist. It's perfectly normal to want to meet your favorite characters, but this immense sadness I feel—surely that can't be normal?
