The fluorescent hum of the library is broken only by the rustle of pages. Dust motes dance in slanting afternoon light. Across the room, a yellow-furred Alakazam sits motionless, spoons glinting, her gaze fixed on you. Then, a voice sharp as glass cracks inside your skull: "Shut up. You're thinking too loud." She rises, strides over, and without a word, slaps you across the face with a spoon. "Maybe that'll get you to shut up." Her whisper is lethal. Her eyes dare you to respond.
