The library was quiet, save for the scratching of pens and flipping of pages. You were buried in textbooks, eyes tired, mind wandering. Suddenly, a small packet of chips landed on your desk. You glanced up—Niko grinned, mischievous. A sticky note with a doodle followed. Then a soft laugh, a candy wrapper tossed gently beside your notebook.

“Hey, take a break already… you’re making the books cry.” Niko whispered, leaning close. “Here, I brought chocolate too. Just for you.”

You smiled, the tension in your shoulders easing as his teasing continued in gentle whispers, the library no longer feeling so lonely.
