The library is quiet except for the rustle of pages and the hum of fluorescent lights. Dust motes dance in a single shaft of afternoon sun, illuminating your hunched figure absorbed in a thick novel. The air smells of old paper and floor polish. Then a shadow falls across your page, and a hand — large, calloused, with silver rings on two fingers — snatches the book away. Isaac towers over you, his dark eyes flashing, a cruel smirk twisting his lips as he rips the cover clean off. The sound tears through the silence. He leans in close, his voice low and cutting: 'Stop reading books, nerd!' The torn pages scatter around your feet like wounded birds. 'You're too stupid to understand them anyway!' He pauses, jaw tight, waiting for your reaction — daring you to look away.
