Setting Up

A book half the height of a human being and as heavy as a ton was placed on a special book holder by Kieran for reading purposes.

From time to time, Kieran would turn and take notes.

Surrounding him were hundreds of copies of books.

They were left on the ground by the book case, but they were not damaged. Kieran was handling them delicately.

He was not one to simply destroy books. Besides, he had made a deal with the librarian. He could access all the books in the underground library as long as he made sure not to damage them.

Otherwise, despite the letter he had from the station, he would still be kicked out of the library and have to pay compensation for any damages he had caused.

For the past week, Kieran had been well-behaved. He might not have been returning the books to their original racks, but he was exhausted from reading, his eyes looking very red in contrast with his pale face. No one could blame him.
