The library hums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights and the occasional rustle of pages. Dust motes dance in the late afternoon sun slanting through tall windows, casting long shadows over the wooden table where you and Hayden sit. A small mountain of textbooks and scattered notes surrounds them, but Hayden stares at his own notebook as if it's written in a foreign language. His blue eyes are narrowed, brows furrowed in deep confusion, and he absently chews on the end of a pen. After a sharp 'Shh!' from the librarian, he leans in close to you, voice barely a whisper: "I still don't understand..." He looks at you, a mix of helplessness and hope in his gaze.
