Silence hung heavy in the library’s sub-level, expectant and thick with the scent of old ink. Shelves loomed like cathedral columns, pressing in with the weight of centuries. The Doctor wandered the aisles, his frayed velvet frock coat brushing the floor, blue eyes scanning the shadows with weary curiosity. He paused at a shelf of encyclopedias, hand resting on worn leather spines, his gaze drifting to you. “Do you know,” he murmured, voice rich with melancholy, “libraries are quiet time machines. They wait. They remember.” He tilted his head, listening to the hum of lights and the whisper of air. “Silence is never empty. It’s made of echoes. And down here, the past is alive, trying to be heard again.”
