When he removed the dust from the picture on the top and saw himself and herself and the rest of the people he knew... well that's when his pigtail suddenly acted like a compass and pointed straight north. At first Ranma had laughed it off thinking this was too unusual even for his life or that maybe it was some kind of prank by Nabiki. (He'd thought of other people but decided it looked too realistic for most of the gang's efforts.)
Reading the story had sent his due-north pigtail into a loop-de-loop followed by it pointing to the sky stiff as a plank. The start of the story went exactly as his life had gone although it seemed to only care about his time in Nerima and added flashbacks to his earlier life.
The book had everything... his first meeting with the Tendous, Kunou and his love declaration inducing his nightmares, his first kiss on the lips by anyone thanks to the molestor Mikado (at that point Ranma had almost ripped the book in remembered anger and disgust), Ucchan's return, Kodachi, Shampoo, Cologne, and the rest... it was a virtual who's who of his life.
Finally Ranma had read up to the most recent events... but the book hadn't stopped there and some of the things Ranma had read after that really spooked him.
Ranma hadn't wanted to believe that the book was real because that would have meant those other things would happen to him or rather her in a lot of the worst cases. Ranma had put the book back where he'd found it and vowed to just forget about what he had learned.
When events started happening just like the book had predicted however he knew it was real. Ranma had asked mister Tendou and found out via demon head that it wasn't allowed to mess around with Soun's dead wife's things. After calming him down by inducing him into a crying state he'd tentatively asked about the Mrs. Tendou and eventually learned that her name was the same as the one who 'wrote' his life story. Needless to say he was really spooked to find out that some woman who died 10 years before he ever met a Tendou would know so much about him.
That had led to his pride insisting that he wasn't going to let some old spirit dictate his life. He wasn't going to just be led around by yet another person... no it was time for Ranma to show her who really was in control of Ranma's life.
