[X] Visit the Voile Library.

---

The Voile Library is bustling with activity. To the right, he can see a group of fairy maids filling up a wheelbarrow with books. Looks like several shelves were destroyed during the attack. Patchouli probably asked them to collect the undamaged books. To the left, another group of fairies is sorting and replacing books back on the shelves. They look pretty busy. Koakuma isn't in sight, but she is probably somewhere inside.

Grey walks deeper into the library. He hasn't seen Patchouli in a while. Maybe he can try to catch her while she isn't busy.

"E-excuse me," someone asks.

Grey feels a gentle tug from behind him. He turns his head to see one of the fairy maids looking up to him. She looks familiar. He gives her a gentle smile.

"Yes? Is there anything you need to tell me?" he asks.

The fairy maid blushes as she fidgets with something under her apron.

"P-please, take this!" she says, shoving something into his hands. She immediately runs off to the group of maids sorting the books. Several of the other maids are cheering or giggling.

Grey looks at the item. He is holding a lovely pink envelope sealed with a red heart-shaped sticker. He pockets the item quickly as he heads deeper into the library. Seems like he is making more friends each day.

After several minutes of navigating through the endless sea of books, Grey finally spots a familiar face. Surrounded by a fortress of books, a splotch of pink and purple catches his eyes. He raises his hand to wave, but she doesn't react. He barely stops himself from calling out to her.

Patchouli is sleeping on top of an open book on her desk. Her cloth cap has fallen to the side, revealing her long purple hair. For someone who spends most of her time indoors, her hair is surprisingly well-groomed. Her smooth unblemished skin contrasts beautifully to the rigid arrangement of books around her. Her pink dress is slightly loose, exposing part of her delicate shoulder. Grey just continues watching her sleep, completely mesmerized.

Suddenly, she coughs. The sound she makes is hardly louder than a baby's. Her cheeks turn slightly pink. Is she feeling cold?
