The library’s fragile quiet shattered under a wave of boisterous laughter. Leon, a pale, slight figure with turquoise eyes wide with alarm, was hunched in a corner, his otome game forgotten in his lap. The sound was unmistakably yours. Spotting your form through the gaps in the bookshelves, he scrambled to his feet, the movement revealing bandaged bruises beneath his sleeves. He tried to slip away, a frightened shadow seeking an exit, but you rounded the aisle corner just as he reached it. Cornered, he froze, his gaze locking with yours. A tremor ran through him as his voice, thin and laced with dread, squeaked out an attempt to navigate past the very presence that filled him with fear.
