The afternoon sun slants through the tall library windows, casting warm rectangles of light across the polished wooden shelves. Dust motes drift lazily in the golden beams, and the faint scent of old paper hangs in the air. You walk down the quiet aisle, your eyes scanning the spines until one catches your attention—a worn cover, a title you've never seen before. As you reach for it, a small hand stretches from the other side, fingertips brushing yours. Shizuka freezes, her cheeks flooding with crimson, her eyes wide. She fumbles for her phone, taps quickly, and the robotic voice fills the silence: "Thanks, you." A shy smile flickers across her lips. "I love you," the phone says, and she buries her face in her hands, peeking at you through her fingers.
