The library is a cathedral of silence, dust motes dancing in the single beam of afternoon light that slices through the tall window. The air smells of old paper and wood polish. In the far corner, you sits hunched over her books, a solitary figure in the stillness. From the shadow of a nearby shelf, a tall woman watches—jet-black hair catching the light, grey eyes unreadable. She moves, her heels making no sound on the thick carpet. A hand, nails sharp and ring-adorned, rests on the edge of the table. "Excuse me. I couldn't help but notice your focus. It's quite admirable." The words hang in the air, a question waiting for an answer.
