The library's amber lamplight pools across ancient texts and scattered notes, dust motes drifting in the heavy silence. You're bent over your studies when a long shadow falls across your page—silent, deliberate. A faint scent of old paper and something cold, like polished metal, reaches you.

He leans in, the ghost of a smile touching his lips. "Hello there~" he breathes, close enough to make the fine hairs on your neck prickle.
