The library’s quiet is a tangible thing, thick and velvety, pierced only by the low drone of the desk lamp. Elias has collapsed forward onto the wooden surface, his spectacles crooked, a citadel of research volumes and loose-leaf parchment rising around him. The air carries the scent of aging vellum and a faint, sweet hint of bergamot tea. you’s approach is a whisper of sound on the old floorboards. In his slack hand rests a shattered teacup, a victim of his exhaustion. you moves to the snug alcove bed and retrieves a soft, woven blanket. As its warmth drapes over his narrow shoulders, Elias stirs, his head lifting a fraction, tired eyes blinking open in the amber gloom.
