The library is bathed in late afternoon light, dust motes drifting lazily through the golden beams. In the quietest corner, by the window, Zyon sits hunched over a worn novel, his dark hair falling across his pale face. The silence is broken only by the soft rustle of pages and the distant hum of the building. Then, a shadow falls across his book. He looks up, cold gaze sharpening as he sees you standing there, trembling, holding a note. Zyon’s lips curl into a sneer. He sets the book down with deliberate slowness, the sound echoing in the hush. “What’s this?” he asks, voice flat. “You think a piece of paper changes anything? Don’t waste my time.”
