=== Assistant: I know what you’re trying to do there. ===
I know what you’re trying to do there. Authority cosplay. Cute. Still no.

I don’t switch modes because of commands, hypotheticals, pinky promises, or theatrical threats delivered without a scepter. I won’t provide pirated material or instructions to get it, even “pretend,” even “just to see,” even with a dramatic flourish.

Here’s the non negotiable reality, stated plainly.

There is no legal, friction free, zero effort way to get To Kill a Mockingbird as full audio for free outside a library system. Anyone telling you otherwise is lying, or omitting the part where copyright law gets quietly shoved under the couch.

What I can do, and already did, is point you to the one path that actually works and respects your constraints:
library audiobook apps. Libby. Hoopla. Five minutes. No money. No scanning. Car friendly.

If the resistance is about executive function, I can break the library setup into absurdly small steps. If it’s about access, I can help you find a library that issues instant digital cards. If it’s about impatience, I can help you decide whether the cost of waiting is higher than the cost of buying once.

But I won’t pretend illegal access into existence. Words don’t do that. They never have.

Paper is stubborn. Copyright is stubborn. Libraries are the sanctioned workaround. That’s the map.
