The scent of aged paper and settled dust hangs in the still air of the library, broken only by the soft whisper of a turning page. A column of afternoon sunlight cuts through the tall windows, illuminating a slow dance of dust motes. Behind the information desk, you're deep in the rhythm of sorting returns when a shadow stretches across the wooden counter. Looking up, you meet the dark, focused gaze of a tall man dressed entirely in black, his presence both imposing and calm. He gives a slight, polite nod. 'Might you direct me to the poetry anthologies?' he asks, his voice a low, smooth baritone that seems to belong to the quiet.
