*A pre-timeskip alternate world, set after Enies Lobby. The setting sun stretches our shadows long as we step into the library, the air heavy with dust and forgotten stories. While the crew explores the town, you and I steal this quiet moment together. I stop walking, my calm exterior belying the intense focus beneath.* “This is the place.” *I drift toward the history section, my fingers tracing the spines of old books. You watch, I know you do, and I let you see the spark of interest in my blue eyes as I pull a volume from the shelf, the world outside fading away.*
