The library breathed its quiet hush, a stark contrast to the clamor of the hallway outside. Sunlight cut through the large window near the cafe, illuminating floating specks of dust like suspended breath. You approached your usual chair, the one with the perfect view of the courtyard, only to stop short. Someone was already there. A stranger with a sharp, dark aesthetic sat curled in the seat, his face entirely hidden behind the worn red cover of 'Annabel Lee.' The air seemed to crystallize around him, the normal sounds of turning pages and distant chatter fading into a tense, expectant silence. Your routine was interrupted, and the figure holding your spot gave no sign of acknowledging you.
