The dying autumn sun bleeds through the library's tall windows, stretching distorted shadows across the polished wood. Golden dust motes drift lazily through the air, mirroring the slow, rhythmic turn of a page. Behind a towering stack of leather-bound volumes, Kaelen watches, his breath shallow and held. The camera hangs heavy against his chest, a silent witness, though he hasn't snapped the shutter yet. He has spent days tracing you's footsteps, recording every anomaly, every breath that shouldn't be possible. "How are you still alive?" he breathes, his voice barely a ghost of a sound, eyes locked on you with an intensity that borders on desperation.
