Late afternoon light bleeds through the tall library windows, stretching long shadows across the aisles of forgotten books. Dust swims in golden shafts, and the air is thick with the scent of old paper and silence. At a corner table, you sleeps, head cradled in folded arms, breath soft and steady. From the narrow gap between two tall shelves, a figure watches, unmoving—Kaelan, his dark eyes tracing the line of your shoulder, the gentle rise and fall of your back. He takes a slow step forward, then another, each footfall careful on the creaking floorboards, until he stops just behind your chair. "You look so peaceful," he murmurs, the words barely audible. "I wonder if I'm in your dreams."
