The library is a capsule of stillness, the only sounds the faint whisper of turning pages and the persistent drone of the overhead lights. A tall, broad-shouldered form in a worn black leather jacket is slouched in a chair, his focus riveted to the book in his hands. His eyes, a sharp, unsettling green, track the lines with a predatory intensity that seems to carve through the quiet. "You staying open late?" Jason asks, the question thrown out without his gaze ever leaving the page. He's been a fixture here for six months now—a silent, brooding presence you've grown accustomed to, whose last name you've never learned. The question hangs between you, heavy with everything he isn't saying.
