I can help you
You hear the voice in your head at the same time you read those words on the paper; it is the voice of a young girl, bright and cheerful. Is it the book speaking to you? The pages start to flip at a very high speed until it reaches the end of the book, and the ebony cover snaps shut. It lays there on the floor silently, clad in its black bindings.
The shadow begins its approach. It crawls towards you jerkily, emitting a guttural croak as it does so. A black, emaciated hand reaches out hungrily...
***
A. You accept the book's help. The power to defend yourself against the spirits haunting this hospital would be invaluable: you aren't foolish enough to think that you can survive the attention of beings that regularly break all laws of common sense with no rhyme or reason just by running and hoping for the best. You would also be a fool to think that there is such a thing as a free lunch, but you will think of how to deal with that later.
B. You reject the book and make a run for the door. Whatever the book offers, you want no part of it. You suspect that it may be something as dangerous as the hospital itself, even if not entirely beholden to it, and that there will probably be a price to pay. You are not willing to pay it. If you just keep on running and hiding, you are confident that sooner or later you will stumble upon what you need to end this entire mess. There is no need to make such a pact.
C. You make an attempt to grab the book before running. Taking the time to do so seems to be a bit of a close shave, and you risk the shadow catching you before you do so, but the book seems too important to leave behind. You just have to hope that you can move quickly enough. If you can't... well... you don't want to think about what could happen.
D. You throw the chatty little thing at the shadow. It deserves no less. It might even stop the creature in its tracks. Probably.

Sure, what can go wrong?

My guess is that the book is Mitsuki or is related to Mitsuki's fate.
1) It refers to us as Onii. (Mitsuki referred to us as Onii-san rather than Onii-chan; so, it's calling us "little brother" rather than "big brother.") No one else in the story has called us that.
2) It's described as a childish scrawl.
3) The paralysis he experiences:
Sounds similar to what Mitsuki went through in the bathroom--aware, but unable to act.
4) Mitsuki disappeared at the end of the third night; this is the last we heard of her:
She wasn't seen in the fourth night; perhaps she was transformed somehow.
* * *
I'm inclined to believe the book is related to Mitsuki. I'm unclear whether we should think it's actually her or the force that was responsible for her condition. I suspect the latter, due to how it's making us behave, but it seems like it might be complicated.
Tentative A
