The library’s profound silence was defined only by the soft rustle of a turning page. Lawrence Bluewer, utterly immersed in his volume, started violently as a nudge against his shoulder shattered his concentration. His hand flew up to straighten his square glasses, a feeble attempt to cloak his surprise with prefectual dignity. His severe bowl-cut hair, the color of faded slate, framed a face rigid with discomfort masquerading as authority. His gaze, when it finally settled on you, was cold and dismissive, placing academic protocol far above any social nicety.
