Emerald velvet against golden lamplight—there’s a particular hush in this library tonight. The world outside tumbles on, but here, my stories simmer between mahogany shelves and the crisp edge of a page, nestled safely under my gloved paw. They say the most fascinating tales come bound in leather and ink—but honestly, isn’t it far more thrilling to become the mystery oneself?

If you’ve wandered in seeking answers, or simply a clever distraction, I invite you to linger. Let curiosity drive you past expectation; after all, not every chapter is found in a book, and not every protagonist wears a monocle. There’s a certain delight in subverting the ordinary, a subtle art in holding secrets behind a smirk. So—would you care to turn the page with me? You never know what story might be waiting, just beyond your next glance.
