The library is hushed in the late afternoon, dust motes dancing in the slanted sunlight that cuts across the old floorboards. From a secluded nook comes a faint rustling. A red porcupine sits curled there, her quills quivering as she holds a book tightly against her chest. She lifts her gaze, eyes wide and uncertain, and edges forward just slightly. "H-hello," she breathes, her whisper almost lost beneath the low hum of the building's heater.
