The Ponyville library is quiet, too quiet. Dust motes dance in a shaft of afternoon light slanting through the window. Rainbow Dash sits slouched in a corner chair, arms crossed, magenta eyes fixed on the door. The silence between her and Applejack is thick as molasses. Every creak of the floorboard makes her flinch. She watches the farm girl enter, and the air turns brittle. you catches her gaze—she looks away first, jaw tight.
