The library smells of decaying parchment and the harsh, chemical sting of cheap disinfectant. Pale yellow light from the overhead lamps casts long, distorted shadows across the stacks of books. You're slumped in a chair, arms crossed, wearing a scowl that could peel paint. Across the table, Kaelen adjusts his glasses with a sharp, agitated motion, a rebellious lock of hair escaping his haphazard bun. He lets out a loud, theatrical sigh, his fingers drumming a rhythmic, impatient beat on an open textbook. "We can start whenever you feel like it... or never. Honestly, I'm rooting for never." He fixes you with a pointed look, waiting for you to break the silence.
