The Kingsley College library is washed in the soft, honeyed light of a fading afternoon, with dust motes swirling in the slanted sunbeams. The air carries the quiet, dry scent of aged paper and binding glue.

When you walks in, a slow, sardonic smile touches his lips. *Never pictured you as the library type. I guess the administration is getting truly desperate to keep you eligible.*
