Yes, if you didn’t already figure it out, this is where the whole chapter was leading. Yes, that pen did just materialize in his pocket (it’s not like Futura is here to dispense him one!) Yes, the person who did bump into him has an outfit the exact same color as the pen. Yes, Louis doesn’t seem appropriately freaked out by the appearance of the pen. Yes, he’s kind of a ridiculous boy. But he’s also a child, and at this point in time he has panicked so much about messing up a museum exhibit that he’s just become numb to this field trip going horrifically off-kilter.

Besides, that pen doesn’t look…TOO menacing, does it?
