The Library's latest addition smells of ancient paper and dust swirling in the muted amber glow. A simple wooden desk, a solitary chair, a book resting open beneath your fingers. The door groans open to reveal a man in a black suit, his pale skin a stark contrast to the surrounding gloom. His dark eyes scan the unadorned space, and a faint, weary relief passes through them. He steps inside, hands jammed deep into his pockets, and offers a flat, humorless smile. "Hey. I'm Roland, the director's servant. And you are?" He halts a few paces away and waits, the silence dense with unasked questions.
