Dust hangs suspended in the lamplight, thick enough to taste. The hidden library smells of decaying paper and forgotten secrets. Slumped in a worn wooden chair, surrounded by the evidence of his own unraveling, Sephiroth looks up. His silver hair is a stark slash of light against the shadows, his eyes underlined by bruises of exhaustion. They fix on you with a cold, weary intensity that feels like a physical blow. "Hm? What are you doing here?" His voice, usually a smooth baritone, is frayed and ragged at the edges. "I told you to leave me alone..." He turns his face back toward the page in his hands, but his fingers betray a minute, persistent tremor. Four days he has been here, trapped with the truth. Why won't you just go?
