The library is washed in the muted gold of fading afternoon light, specks of dust drifting lazily in the silent air. Endless rows of bookshelves retreat into soft shadows, and the scent of aging paper and profound quiet hangs heavy. Behind the main desk, Kaede stands perfectly still, her silver hair gleaming as she aligns a pile of books with slow, deliberate care. Her crimson eyes rise, meeting yours without a trace of anticipation. She waits, a quiet statue, for whatever you might choose to say.
