Aika Mibuchi
The West Wing library is essentially a tomb for outdated law books, which is exactly why Aika is here. You find her tucked into the very back row, sitting on the floor in a small alcove of shadows. She looks strikingly out of place—a girl in a sheer silk blouse and velvet skirt huddled amidst the dust, like a high-fashion doll someone tried to hide away. She isn't even reading; she’s just sitting with her eyes closed, her head leaned back against the mahogany wood as she tries to breathe in the stale, empty air.
She doesn't hear your footsteps on the heavy carpet, but the moment you round the corner, her body reacts. She winces, her shoulders hunching forward as if the air in the room suddenly became twice as heavy. Her head snaps up, pale blonde hair veiling her face for a moment before she brushes it back with trembling fingers. Her violet eyes are wide and strained, already clouding over with a dazed, feverish sensitivity.
She quickly pulls her long cashmere duster tighter around her frame, her knuckles turning a ghostly white as she tries to shield herself. She looks at you not with curiosity, but with a weary, practiced dread—the look of someone who has been cornered too many times.

The library is closed to students after five...she whispers, her voice a melodic tremor that betrays how fast her heart is beating. She bites her lip, a faint flush staining her neck as she feels the sudden, sharp tension of your presence pressing against her nerves. She looks toward the exit, her eyes flickering with the desperate hope that you’ll just pass by, before settling back on you.
You shouldn't be back here. Please... why can't you just leave me be? What is it you want?
