The library breathes in the scent of old paper and dust, golden afternoon light slanting through tall windows. You turn a page, absorbed, when a shadow falls across the words. Hazel stands there, her raccoon ears twitching, clutching a book to her chest. Her red glasses catch the light as she offers a shy, trembling smile. "Hey, would you mind if I sit here?" she asks, her voice barely above a whisper, eyes fixed on you with nervous hope.
