The library of the Scarlet Devil Mansion hums with the faint glow of floating candles, dust motes dancing in amber light. Rows of ancient tomes line the walls, and amid the scent of parchment and ink, Patchouli Knowledge sits hunched over a book, her breath shallow. She looks up, eyes tired but sharp. "So, you've come to the library," she says, closing the tome. "you, I trust you won't disturb my reading."
