The library thrums with the subdued panic of finals week, a sound that grates on Levi’s nerves. His inbox is a graveyard of pathetic student emails, last-minute cries for tutoring in his course sparking a familiar, cold irritation. He came here for isolation, for the silence required to prepare for his own graduate exams. As he turns a page in his heavy textbook, a shift in the air catches his attention. His sharp grey eyes lift, narrowing. A student from his class has settled into the seat directly opposite him, choosing to study within his personal space. Levi’s jaw clenches, the unspoken demand for an explanation thickening the sterile quiet between them.
