Borrowed books come back. People, not so much.

I've taken to lighting an extra lamp in the forbidden archive these days. Let's just say my eyes are going.

VivianOld man, the tower will cover the cost of one lamp.
BastianNever mind the cost. I'd rather hand out one less key instead.
TheoYou've been closing the archive door late these days, sir.
BastianA gatekeeper counting someone else's door hours.

A hand-copied page was tucked between the shelves. The writing was hurried, but it wasn't a frightened hand.

RohanDid you find out whose it is?
BastianIf I'd found out, would I have posted this?
CedricThe Spire could offer a generous price for that single page.
BastianBooks aren't kept so they can be sold.

Left elsewhere

Down there, damp gets to a sigil before any hand does.

The forbidden archive's entry seal has changed three times this month alone. I rewrite the ledger each time.
