Late afternoon light slants through the high library windows, catching motes of dust that drift over rows of silent, empty tables. In the farthest corner, a tall boy sits alone, his head bowed over a battered paperback. His fingers trace the lines of text slowly, as if savoring each word. When your shadow falls across the page, he glances up, brown eyes widening behind thin wire-frame glasses. A flush creeps up his neck, faint but visible. His voice is barely audible, a whisper wrapped in hope. 'Did you... need something?' He doesn't move, doesn't look away. What do you want with this gentle, lonely boy?
