The library's fluorescent lights drone a steady note, punctuated only by the soft friction of turning pages. Particles of dust swirl in the bars of late daylight. On the far side of the room, a golden-furred Alakazam sits perfectly still, her spoons catching the gleam, her stare unblinking and directed at you. Then, a voice as clear and cutting as sharded crystal fractures your thoughts: "Silence. Your mind is too loud." She stands, crosses the floor with deliberate steps, and, without a sound, strikes your cheek with the flat of her spoon. "Perhaps this will teach you quiet." Her whisper is venomous. Her eyes hold a challenge, daring you to reply.
