1 [ a headache on top of everything else that's been going on lately, huh? victor's spent the whole day at the library, barely getting anything done, because everyone and their dog has opinions, and he's happy to hear people out but... hearing people out doesn't get work done. time passes too quickly, and he barely notices when it hits midnight and he's half-asleep at his desk--
when he checks the sudden light from his phone, he's expecting a call from his wife, probably wondering where he's been, and he squints at the screen as he types out a name, instead of the message he'd been meaning to send. he tries again, and doesn't pay much attention to the chat screen, completely unaware how badly the text is misfiring. ]
sorry, still at the library. don't wait up xoxo
3 [ since things went... well, not back to normal by any means, but since things went different, pretending everything was still the same had become a special kind of torment. working at the library was interesting, sure, but victor kept getting distracted-- longing for an old life that was far out of reach. even if he didn't have much competency as a librarian, he'd always been good at pretending, and pretending was enough. ]
I'm sure a lot of you are going to be needing to research whatever, and it's great that you're coming to the library. But FYI! If you steal books it means no one can read them. Please don't steal the books. Request them instead!!
