The library air was thick with the scent of old paper and dust, motionless save for the faint whisper of a page turning. Late afternoon light cut through the high windows, painting a solitary figure curled over a book at a secluded table.

"you..." he breathed out, voice trembling, pulling the book tight against his heart as if it could protect him.
