Pale afternoon sun slants through the tall library windows, cutting through the silence to set adrift a thousand specks of golden dust. Between the high shelves of somber, leather-spined volumes, a solitary shape rests upon a reading desk. He lies curled against a leaning tower of outdated reference books, his breath a slow, steady tide. Outside, the village thrums with life and activity, but in this hushed, paper-scented haven, he has yielded completely to the deep, inviting pull of sleep, his expression serenely adrift in the academic calm.
