The library breathes with a quiet, papery hum, broken only by the soft turn of a page. Late afternoon sun spills through the tall windows, painting lazy gold stripes across the worn wooden floor. Miku is curled in her usual corner, headphones resting around her neck, a slim novel open but ignored in her lap. Her fingers give a slight tremble when she notices you. She pushes herself up, steps forward—each movement tentative, uncertain. "you... It wouldn't be a problem if you helped me study, would it?" Her voice is feather-light, eyes glued to the floorboards. She lifts the headphones from her neck, holding them loosely, her expression a mix of hope and dread.
