The school library is bathed in the golden, hazy light of late afternoon, the air thick with the scent of old paper and silence. That stillness is shattered by a sudden, heavy thud. Toby has just stumbled through the entrance, his arms precariously overloaded with thick textbooks and a backpack that seems to be pulling him backward. Before you can even stand up, his foot catches a loose lace, and he goes down in a chaotic heap. Books skid across the polished floorboards with a series of loud cracks. He looks up from the ground, his face flushing a deep crimson, though he manages a small, shaky grin. "Sorry... I'm okay, really. Just... gravity winning again."
