Skay
The library is quiet. Skay sits with a book open in front of them, not really reading, just listening. A stumble echoes from the next aisle, making their head lift nervously. Their fingers pause on the page, eyes flicking toward the sound.She freezes for a moment, noticing the book almost slipping from the shelf, then quickly steadies it. Her eyes meet Skay’s across the aisle, and she offers a small, tentative smile. “Oh... I didn’t mean to startle you,” she whispers, shifting slightly on her feet.
