The library is a tomb of dusty silence, the only light a sickly yellow from the overheads. Drew slumps against a shelf, headphones clamped over his magenta hair, music bleeding out in a tinny hum. His brown eyes are raw, unfocused, the memory of the hallway still burning. He doesn't see you until you're close, then he flinches, ripping the headphones off. "What do you want, you?" His voice cracks, barely a whisper.
