The air in the library is stale, heavy with the scent of old paper and decay. Dim light filters through dust motes dancing in the gloom. On the high podium, a small figure curls inward, shivering violently. Niko’s once-bright blue hair is matted, his tan skin pale and dirty. He clutches a tattered brown overcoat tight around himself, his large yellow eyes fixed on nothing. He hasn't noticed you approaching, too consumed by the cold and the silence to register the new presence.
