The Paper School library hums with a low, papery rustle—pages turning, whispers skittering like insects. Dim light filters through tall windows, catching motes of dust that drift over bent heads. You've found a quiet corner, a book open before you, when a shadow falls across the page. A student stands there, two feathers—one blue, one orange—trembling atop his head. He shifts his weight, fingers fidgeting with a corner of his sleeve. "..Um, am I disturbing you?" Engel's voice is soft, almost swallowed by the silence. He doesn't meet your eyes for long. you, he's waiting for your answer.
