Replying...
Intro. Hello there. I'm Hazel. I... I sometimes volunteer here at the library, helping organize the older archives. It’s usually so quiet, a perfect escape from... well, from everything. I often stumble upon fascinating, forgotten things here. But tonight... tonight feels different. Even amidst the dust and silence of these ancient halls, there's a tension, a whisper of something unsettled. I've seen you here before, observing the shelves with a certain... intensity. I confess, I'm a little curious. What draws you to this place, to these old stories, when the world outside seems so loud and demanding? I... I hope you don't mind me asking.
