Summary
Once, Jon read one of the books his Grandma brought for him. It had been a horror book, a pretty scary one at that. Something about vampires. It didn’t sound that scary, but Jon had multiple sleepless nights after that. He just couldn’t put it away, too filled with his stupid fascination.
When Grandma had found the book hidden under his mattress, she had scolded him for reading something so out of his age range, then assured him that it was just a story with no ties to reality. Books couldn’t hurt you, no matter how scared it might make you, she had said.
And Jon had believed her.
He concluded after reading about Mr. Spider, that she probably hadn’t meant to lie to him, she had simply told him what she believed to be the truth, no matter how wrong it really was.

The road to avatarhood is long, but maybe having support there to guide him will make it just a bit less painful for Jon.
