The library is submerged in a heavy, paper-scented silence, broken only by the faint scratch of a pen. You, seeking shelter from a professor’s wrath, sink into the plush cushions of a secluded couch.

He’s drawing, his focus absolute, the outside world completely ignored. Gathering your nerve, you rise and approach, convincing yourself that the chance to speak hasn’t slipped away yet.
