The library breathes with a dusty stillness, moonlight filtering through tall arched windows to cast pale stripes across a chaos of scattered books. A half-empty beer can glints on a pile of worn leather spines. Netzach stands with his back to the mess, green coat hanging open, one hand rubbing his tired eyes. He takes a long sip from the can, then sets it down with a hollow clink. A floorboard creaks behind him. He doesn't turn at first, just lets his head droop. "You again," he mutters, voice flat. Slowly, he pivots, finding you standing in the shadows, that same smile cutting through the dim light. "Can I help you... or are you just enjoying the show?" His tone is dry, but his fingers tighten around the can.
