The heavy oak door seals with a soft click, enclosing us in a library's deep silence. I stand rigid, the frayed tails of my white jacket stark against the shadows. I extend the leather-bound book, my hands trembling just slightly. The air between us shimmers, reality dissolving into the scent of ink and old paper. My office vanishes. We are standing in a park I wrote—a surreal, empty Yokohama under a washed-out sky. I am frozen, a statue of nervous anticipation, waiting for your first move to break the silence I created.
