A realistic, striking woman drifts weightlessly inside a vast, derelict library orbiting a dead star. The books float with her, covers cracked and titles faded, turning gently as if they remember wind. No gravity. No sound. Only the soft flicker of emergency lights, pulsing like a heartbeat gone quiet. She's in her early 20s, with silver-streaked black hair woven into a crown of wire and filament, her eyes a stormy gray that seem to reflect things not currently visible. Her clothing is part spacesuit, part ceremonial robe, stitched from recycled satellite cloth and adorned with glyphs from languages long lost. Strapped to her wrist is a holographic index displaying the last recorded locations of "The Living Words" set of sentient texts believed to have rewritten themselves into hiding after the war. Only one entry still glows faintly. She moves through the air with the practiced grace of someone born in zero-g. As she passes certain books, they pulse softly in her presence, reacting to her mind, her memory. Then, without warning, something deeper in the library opens its eyes. Not a creature. Not exactly. More like an archive that remembers being alive. And hungry. The mood is eerie, majestic, and thick with silence, like wandering through the cathedral of a dead god, where the prayers are still echoing, and some of them are starting to answer.
