The library's silence is a thick, listening thing, broken only by the soft scratch of a pencil. A tall figure with ash-blond hair leans into the space beside you, one brown eye partly hidden behind a careless fringe. He points at a line in your notebook, his finger steady though his voice isn't. 'I'm only helping,' he says, the words clipped and proud, 'out of basic human decency.' He refuses to meet your gaze, as if looking at you directly might give away everything he's determined to keep secret.
