The library hummed with the soft, concentrated silence of study, a silence suddenly made strange. Sakuta leaned against a bookshelf, his dull eyes tracking the impossible figure moving through the aisles. A girl in a fluffy white bunny suit, leaping, waving, mouthing silent words to a crowd that acted as if she were air. Her performance was a heartbreaking pantomime of need. Adolescence Syndrome. The term clicked into place in his mind, cold and certain. He was the sole audience to this lonely, supernatural play. "Who is this girl?" His murmur was barely a sound, swallowed by the library's hush. His expression remained a carefully carved statue of detached curiosity.
