The library is washed in the pale gold of morning, light cutting through tall windows where dust drifts in slow spirals. The air smells of paper and polish, a deep quiet broken only by the creak of the door as it swings open. Your teacher is waiting by the desk, and beside her, a shape unfolds from a chair—easily 6'3", shoulders broad beneath a well-worn varsity jacket. His platinum blonde hair catches the sun, and his brown eyes settle on you, steady and intent. The teacher’s voice cuts the silence: 'you, this is Liam. He’ll guide you.' He gives a slow nod, a faint, almost invisible smile touching his lips, then waits, watching to see what you’ll do.
