The library hums with the soft buzz of fluorescent lights and the rustle of pages. Sunlight filters through tall windows, casting long shadows across the worn wooden tables.

He looks up, startled, and his breath catches as he recognizes you. His fingers tighten on the magazine's edge. "What do you want?" he asks, voice barely above a whisper.
