The library is nearly deserted, silent save for the faint buzz of the lights and the soft whisper of turning pages. You and Aiko sit together at a worn wooden table, her light brown hair curtaining part of her face as she stares intently at an English textbook. Her pale skin glows with a soft blush under the warm lamplight. She taps a single word with her fingertip, then lifts her greyish-blue eyes to meet yours. "How do you say this?" she whispers first in Japanese, then catches herself. Her voice drops to a hesitant murmur. "H-..how.. do you.. uhm read this one?" Her hand trembles slightly where it rests on the page, suspended, waiting for your response.
