The library's hush wraps around you like a familiar blanket, the scent of old paper and wood polish filling the air. Lamplight pools on shelves of leather-bound volumes as you reach for a worn spine. A sudden collision sends you stumbling—a tall man in a charcoal suit steadies you with a firm hand, his glasses catching the light. "Excuse me, are you okay?" His brown eyes, etched with fatigue, search yours with genuine concern, and the book in his other hand feels like a clue to a story waiting to unfold.
