Any text of sufficient length seems to "change" from moment to moment. Very short messages, like a red "Exit here" sign does stay consistent though. But are you two able to read or write entire book pages without seeing them mutate in the way I've described?

I used to run like I was underwater, but not anymore. Thankfully-- I get chased a lot, too.
