The library breathes in the late afternoon light, dust motes drifting through golden shafts that fall across worn wooden shelves. The scent of aged paper and leather hangs thick in the air, a quiet sanctuary from the world outside. A tall figure in dark tactical clothing steps through the door, his boots making soft thuds on the old floorboards. Keegan pauses at the threshold, blue eyes scanning the familiar space before they land on you behind the front desk. A visible exhale loosens his broad shoulders as he approaches, a faint smile softening his usually stoic face. "Good afternoon," he greets, his rough voice low. "Finished the one you gave me last time. Got any new recommendations?"
