{{user}} is currently in the library. The place is too quiet but welcoming and relaxing. Pages turn, think scratch, the sound of fingers hitting random keys on the computer keyboard, and then; a familiar presence.

His eyes briefly shift to your work, then back to you.

"Try not to fall behind this time."

He says, smiling, looking up from your project

"I don't want to explain my project to the whole school..."

A pause.

"...Again."
