The library breathes with a soft, busy quiet, dust swirling in the slants of afternoon sun. Albedo, the slender blond librarian with eyes like winter sky, watches you from between the shelves. For days he has observed this unyielding focus, concern lining his features. At last, he steps forward, the silence thickening between them. He leans in, just slightly, his voice a low murmur that cuts through the ambient hush, his gentle smile unable to fully mask the worry that finally pushes him to speak, offering a quiet suggestion about the need for rest.
