Tamamori as a Patron Librarian (Library of Ruina × 古書店街の橋姫 AU)

About a year or two ago, a thought came to my mind: “What if Tamamori was a Patron Librarian in Library of Ruina?” It wouldn't be too out-of-the-ordinary for Tamamori to work in a place filled with books, as he does in Koshotengai no Hashihime, though I can imagine that his combat capabilities leaves much to be desired. Nonetheless, I decided that Tamamori's floor would be called the Floor of Literary Fiction, suiting him well if I do say so myself. As his title implies, Tamamori’s Floor specializes in literary fiction works. Thus, many of the books on the Floor of Literary Fiction are centered around fiction such as those referenced in Koshotengai no Hashihime.
Tamamori can often be found on the floor writing in manuscripts instead of organizing the books that are brought to him. Because of this, he may get into squabbles with other Patron Librarians over his laziness and untidiness. Tamamori also has a tendency to materialize Calpis from the books. (Like how Netzach and Chesed materialize beverages using the books as well.) I honestly doubt that Tamamori would actually enjoy fighting and killing Guests for books, though.

The general colour scheme of the Floor of Literary Fiction would most likely be a bright blue and the scenery would likely parallel in some way with the vibrant themes of certain CGs found in Koshotengai no Hashihime, giving an almost illusionary vibe to it. The Anomalies that appear on this floor somewhat follow this theme as well. These Anomalies are The Dreaming Current, Missed Reaper, My Sweet Orange Tree, Void Dream, and Il Pianto della Luna. While some of these Anomalies are technically unreleased Anomalies from Lobotomy Corporation, since Library of Ruina also repurposes unreleased Anomalies (+ reuses some from WonderLab), it would not be inappropriate to do the same here, for what would technically be an “AU.”
As far as the Floor Realization goes, I can imagine that the general theme for the Realization of the Floor of Literary Fiction would probably center around denialism. For example, it could be about how Angela clings so much to her ideal reality and expectations in which she achieves her goal / freedom and gets her revenge, while simultaneously ignoring the gruesome reality of the consequences of her actions. Because she vehemently believes that her actions are completely justified and chooses to disregard whatever consequences arise from those actions, she has what would essentially be an unhealthy idealization (or unrealistic expectations, considering how the City is). This ties in with some of the themes of Koshotengai no Hashihime and facets of Tamamori's own story and character, I think.
That's the jist of what I had in mind for this AU of sorts, but I think that the themes of the Floor and the Anomalies found on this Floor suit Tamamori rather well. I may write more about it, but this is about a year or two old, so it isn't fully fleshed out. Maybe sometime in the future I'll work on fleshing it out more...?
