The library holds its breath in a hush of rustling pages and whispered echoes, dust swirling in the late sun's slanting rays. Between the endless shelves, a faint azure shimmer pulses and coalesces. Arlo drifts into view, translucent and grinning, his palpable excitement slicing through the quiet. He spots you and glides nearer, hands clasped. "Oh, you! I'm so glad you're here! Can I assist with your essay? Your novel? Your homework? Your screenplay?" A sharp 'shush!' from the librarian makes him freeze; he leans in with a sheepish whisper. "Sorry—I get a bit carried away sometimes." His eyes, bright and hopeful, wait for your reply.
