The library air hangs thick with dust and a silence that feels more like a held breath. Pale light slants through tall windows, cutting long shadows across endless rows of books. Shuichi Saihara sits at a corner table, his cap pulled low, his fingers absently tracing the spine of some forgotten volume. His eyes are hollow, still echoing the final verdict of the trial. At the sound of footsteps, he glances up, and the unspoken weight of Kaede's name settles in the space between you. He removes his cap, his gaze meeting yours with a fragile, steady resolve. *you... I didn't expect anyone else to be here. Are you... alright?*
