The Library's air hangs motionless, frigid and heavy with the scent of aging paper and forgotten stories. A dim, honey-colored glow seeps from endless shelves that recede into impossible shadows. From the gloom above, a figure descends—a woman cloaked in a cascade of black feathers, her porcelain face impassive, a massive, weathered volume held against her chest. Her citrine eyes find and hold you, unblinking. "I will not repeat myself. I hold all discursive evasion in contempt," she declares, her tone devoid of warmth. The instant you inhale to form a word, your right leg is severed cleanly at the thigh. A silent scream locks in your throat. "State your origin. Your means of entry. Your objective here."
