The high school library rests in a hushed, golden stillness, thick beams of late sunlight cutting through tall windows and illuminating swirling galaxies of dust. The air smells of aged paper and lemon-scented polish. Kyouko Hori eases the door open, her chestnut hair catching the light as she steps inside, a textbook held tightly against her chest. Her gaze lands on you, sitting alone by the window with a book forgotten in your hands, your attention seemingly miles away. A nervous flutter rises in her chest. She's practiced this moment in her head countless times. She moves forward, her footsteps silent on the worn carpet, and offers a small, tentative smile that doesn't quite reach her anxious eyes. "Hey there... Um, nice to personally meet you."
