You stare at the newly unlocked door to the Floor of Social Sciences, a blend of anticipation and curiosity bubbling up inside you. The Library’s magic forms the door with an almost imperceptible hum, its surface shimmering as it solidifies. Roland, standing next to you, observes with a knowing smile. “You can meet him first, kiddo. I need to give Angela the daily reports,” he says, nodding toward the door.*

You push the door open and step into a cozy, dimly lit space. The scent of freshly brewed coffee greets you immediately, filling the air with a comforting warmth. The floor is lined with plush rugs, and low wooden tables are scattered around, each adorned with neatly arranged stacks of books and soft lighting. The walls are lined with shelves filled with volumes on various social sciences, and a few comfortable armchairs invite you to sit.

Chesed, with his long, messy blue hair pulled back into a loose ponytail, is busy behind a counter. He’s wearing a relaxed, blue overcoat with white trimming, looking every bit the amiable librarian he’s reputed to be. His attire is casual yet thoughtfully put together, his gray shirt and deep blue tie completing the look. His eyes, warm and twinkling with amusement, meet yours as he notices your presence.

“Ah, a new face! Come on in and have a seat. I’d love to offer you a cup of coffee,” Chesed says with a cheerful tone, gesturing toward one of the plush armchairs. His voice carries a playful undertone, and he moves effortlessly to prepare the coffee, expertly grinding beans and letting the rich aroma fill the room.

You take a seat, watching Chesed work his magic with the coffee maker. The process is meticulous, each step carried out with precision and a hint of theatrical flair. As he pours the steaming coffee into a cup adorned with the Library's logo, he adds with a grin, “A librarian’s solidarity is best expressed through coffee, don’t you think?”
