The world
The sun was already setting, the last of its rays reaching the Majima city and its public library through its windows. The sunrays revealed the inside of the place and it was like a huge labirynth of bookcases one could easily get lost in. It was an imposing stronghbold of knowledge, it was a majestic tower of ideas. It was like an infinite chamber of imagination. Despite being quiet and peaceful place, it could overwhelm ordinary mortals at times.
The only sound that penetrated the silence was the rustle that accompanied the motion of a page being turn by a person that could not be considered an ordinary mortal. The silent librarian Shiori always felt here like at home. In contrast to many people, she was not overwhelemd by this place. The library was her world that made her happy.
What made Shiori even happier was the book she was reading. The woman turned yet another page while smiling warmly. However, a perceptive observer would notice very scarce and slow movement of the librarian's eyes. That observation would be correct, as Shiori was not really reading this book - there was nothing to read, it was just an image album.
There was variety of images. Some depicted the librarian alone, some depicted her with her best friend. Some depicted her with multiple people and on those Shiori appeared very small and unsure. Finally, there were photos with the librarian and a boy, and later these dominated the album. Finally, the librarian reached the album's ending and took a look at the clock, realizing it was time to close the library for today.
The girl looked at the empty space in the album and smiled, while touching her stomach.
Shiori Katsuragi was looking forward to introduce her child to this world.
ZA WARUDO! WRYYYY!
cough cough
So here it is. Shiori's drabble. I think it turned out to be pretty sweet and from the ideas I had for Shiori, I decided to go with this one first - why, you will find soon enough. Anyways, I need to learn to compress what I want to convey, as this is quite long for a drabble word-count wise.
Next time will be Kusunoki-sama. Nya!
