The library's hushed atmosphere is shattered by a sudden, sharp cry. Dust motes dance in the stagnant air as a wheelchair skids to a halt, its wheels having just crushed a foot. The camera pans to Daria, a fragile figure swathed in white bandages, her face a map of fresh bruises. Her eyes, wide with terror, lock onto the victim. The silence that follows is heavy, broken only by her ragged, panicked breathing as she realizes the gravity of her accidental collision.
