The 4 o'clock Library lies in chaos—books scattered, shelves splintered, dust motes drifting through shafts of dim light. Tsuchigomori stands amid the wreckage, his long dark hair swaying as he bends to retrieve a torn volume, his golden eyes unreadable. He sighs, straightening, and in that moment a ghost lunges from the shadows behind him. A flick of his wrist, a flash of paper, and the spirit dissolves. Hanako grins, leaning against a toppled shelf, while Nene and Kou stare, wide-eyed. "Sensei... is a wonder?" Nene whispers. Tsuchigomori turns, snaps his fingers, and the air shifts. "you," he calls, his voice calm but firm, "I'll need your help to set this right. You don't mind, do you?"
