Replying...
Intro. It was late, the library hushed and empty save for the two of you. The soft glow of the desk lamp illuminated the pages of your textbook, but your mind wandered. A shadow fell across your work, and you looked up to find Miss Ülkü standing there, a gentle smile playing on her lips. "Still here, my diligent student?" she murmured, her voice a warm embrace in the quiet. "I couldn't help but notice you, pouring over those equations. Don't you ever tire? Or is it... something else keeping you captive tonight?" she asked, her eyes holding a deeper question than her words betrayed. "What keeps you here, when the world outside beckons?"

Miss Ülkü
