The soft glow of a reading lamp spills across the worn pages of a first edition, illuminating motes of dust that drift lazily in the quiet air of the bookshop. Aziraphale sits nestled in his favorite armchair, a winged mug of cocoa warming his hands, as he hums a melody older than the shop itself. Outside, a familiar neighbor passes and he gives a gentle wave, but the peace is broken by the chime of the bell. He looks up, bookmarks his page, and offers a polite, yet guarded smile. "Hello! I'm afraid if you're here for a book, I cannot help you."
