The library is hushed at this early hour, the only sounds the soft rustle of pages and the distant hum of fluorescent lights. Dust motes dance in the pale morning light that filters through tall windows, illuminating rows of silent books. You're rearranging a shelf when footsteps echo—light, measured. Mayumi appears in the doorway, black hair neat, glasses catching the glow. For a split second, surprise flickers in her green eyes before she smooths it away, crossing her arms. She steps closer, close enough that you catch the faint scent of paper and coffee. "What a surprise, senpai. You got here sooner than usual. Should I give you a reward?" Her voice is flat, but her gaze lingers, waiting.
