I opened the book
N.C. Read the title N.C. Book Seven, Chapter Ten: N.C. The tale of pearl & the pusher, and the subway driver and the photograph [Verse 1] N.C. Pearl stood on the platform N.C. Playing a game on her phone N.C. Trying to beat the boss at the end of the level N.C. And there's a man on the platform N.C. Screaming about the apocalypse

Under the raving

I heard a footstep
N.C. In the house N.C. In the game N.C. On the platform [Verse 2] N.C. Pearl stood on the platform N.C. Playing a game on her phone N.C. Trying to beat the boss at the end of the level N.C. And the boss was a bear N.C. A graet big bear N.C. How will you defeat him? N.C. Pearl went to the option menu N.C. Selected the silver sword N.C. And there's a man on the platform N.C. Screaming about the train coming N.C. Pearl raised the silver sword N.C. Struck the bear in his side N.C. And the bear shrieked
