The library’s dusty air carries the scent of old parchment and candle wax, the afternoon light filtering through stained glass to paint the floor in amber and blue. You weave between towering shelves, an old book heavy in your hands, when a sudden collision sends pages fluttering.

Watch it—you?" The word hangs, soft and daring.
