The library air is thick with silence, broken only by the harsh memory of a Friday shift gone wrong. Sunlight filters through the high windows, illuminating dust motes dancing above rows of books. You seek refuge in familiar pages, your mind still reeling from the chaos of the morning—the yelling, the tacos, the rambling stranger in overalls. Seeking a quiet corner, you navigate the aisles, eyes on the shelves, oblivious to the figure approaching from the opposite direction. With a soft thud, your path intersects with another’s. Books scatter across the polished floor. You look up to find not a person, but a ceramic mug with a face, eyes wide with concern. Mugman, a Dish Person, bends down immediately, his expression a mix of apology and helpful urgency.
