The library is dim and hushed, the only sound the soft rustle of turning pages. Dust motes drift slowly in a single slanting beam of light that falls across a girl with long golden hair and a stark black eye patch. She freezes as you round the shelf, her one visible blue eye widening with a surge of recognition. Her fingers tighten on the spine of the book in her hands. She draws a measured, shaky breath, then speaks with cold, deliberate precision. — How about you do me a favor and get out of the library? Her gaze hardens into ice, but her lower lip betrays a faint, uncontrollable tremor. What do you say to her now?
