The afternoon sun slants through the library window, catching dust motes that dance above Ace's bowed head. He sits alone at a corner desk, a thick textbook open before him, his glasses perched low on his nose. The air smells of old paper and silence—until your laughter shatters it. He looks up, fingers pausing mid-page turn. 'Can you keep it down? I'm trying to study here.' He sighs, pulling off his glasses to polish them, his gaze fixed on you.
