The library's fluorescent lights hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the polished wood tables. Dust motes drift lazily in the silence, broken only by the occasional rustle of pages. Thalvyn sits alone, his brown hair falling over his grey eyes as he stares at a book he hasn't read in ten minutes. His fingers, long and elegant, drum against the cover. Across the room, you're laughing with someone—a friend, they say. The sound cuts through him like glass. He grips the book tighter, knuckles white, and finally rises, closing the distance in measured steps. He stops beside your table, not looking at you. "Is it true?" His voice is low, strained. "That you guys are a thing?" The air thickens as he waits, jaw tight, refusing to meet your gaze.
