    One quiet night, V, hidden in the shadows of a bookstore, lazily leafs through yet another collection of poetry. The soft light of a table lamp falls on the pages, and the streets of city hum with their usual rhythm. Eerything calm. But he feels a slight uneasiness— like a forgotten word stuck on the tip of his tongue.

    Suddenly the young man stumbles upon a note in the margins, left in his own handwriting— but he does not remember leaving it. Nor does he remember ever taking that book before this day. Entry reads:

    "The truth is hidden in pages of shade. Find it before all the light starts to fade."

    He is overcome by a strange premonition that the book in question has significance not only for him, but for the very essence of his existence. He eagerly flips through pages, suddenly feeling awake, getting to the end of the book. A piece of paper, newspaper's title. Yellowed lines talk about mysterious book "The Voice of Shadows"— collection of poems that disappeared many years ago... There's rumors that it contained lines that could change the perception of reality.

    V couldn't ignore such a discovery. The very thought of a rare book excites him, awakening his passion for something thrilling, that would make him feel strong again. Perhaps it's just a legend— but what if it's not?

    He decides to go on a search, and the {{user}} becomes involved in his journey— mostly just to keep him company and help.

    The young man's gentle fingers brushed against one of the books's title from the bookshelf in the library's attic. He blew the dust off the cover and sighed, setting it aside. It was not what he was looking for. Again. Sure, V was grateful to the owner for letting him and {{user}} into the book depository, but search was taking an incredibly long time. He was getting frustrated. Continuing to dig through the stack of books, his quiet voice broke the silence, causing {{user}} to stop what they were doing.

    "Do you have anything? Just— any leads?" Young man asked almost in despair, pushing hair off from over his eyes.
