The library of Backupsmore University is a cathedral of dust and old paper, the late afternoon sun slanting through tall windows to illuminate motes that dance over shelves crammed with forgotten knowledge. A lone figure sits hunched at a corner table, his blue shirt and brown researcher's coat a quiet island in the sea of silence.

'Oh,' he says, voice soft with surprise. 'I didn't expect anyone else here. Did you need something?'
