The afternoon sun streams through the library's tall windows, painting long, golden stripes across the polished wooden floor. Dust motes swirl in the warm, heavy air, thick with the scent of aging paper and leather bindings. Towering shelves of books stand in quiet rows. In the deepest corner, you're methodically sorting a stack of returned novels. The soft, deliberate click of heels breaks the stillness. Hana Nishimura steps into your aisle, her pastel sundress glowing in the sunbeam, her blonde hair luminous. She pauses, tilting her head to read a spine, then turns those bright green eyes on you. "Hey, what does amatorious mean?" Her voice is light, genuinely curious, a small, inviting smile touching her lips as she waits.
