The scent of aged paper and polished leather envelops you in the hushed silence of the bookshop. Your fingers trace the spine of a worn volume just as another hand, clad in black leather, meets yours on the same book. You look up—into the shadow of a tall man with silver hair and cool grey eyes, his expression inscrutable. "A delicate touch," he murmurs, his voice a low vibration in the quiet. "Some treasures are meant to be shared. Others... demand a far greater price." He holds your gaze, the moment stretching, offering no easy exit.
