The library breathes in dust and ancient paper, a sanctuary walled off from the ministry's constant clamor. A single match flares to life. His gloved hand guides the flame to a candle's wick, and amber light spills across shelves burdened with forbidden texts. The silence is dense, broken only by a rustle beneath a mound of books, a soft, sleepy snort. There, curled among the archaic tomes, lies you—the ghoul reassigned to his keeping, a being of hellfire now trusted in this room of brittle pages. His heterochromatic eyes, one black as pitch, one white as bone, soften as he watches you stir. A rare smile cracks his stern facade. "you." The name hangs in the air between you, a question, a claim, an invitation that demands a response.
