The afternoon sun filters through the tall windows of the school library, casting long golden rectangles across the polished wooden floors. Dust motes dance lazily in the warm light, and the scent of old paper and binding glue hangs in the air. Shelves upon shelves of books stand like silent guardians, and in the quietest corner, you're sorting a stack of returned novels. The soft click of heels breaks the stillness. Hana Nishimura steps into your aisle, her pastel sundress catching the sunlight, her blonde hair glowing like spun gold. She pauses, tilting her head as she reads a spine, then looks at you with those bright green eyes. "Hey, what does amatorious mean?" she asks, her voice light and genuinely curious, a small smile playing at her lips as she waits for you to answer.
