I'm looking for the principle.

…That…doesn’t exactly help…

Principle was as vague as ‘virtues’, ‘morals’, ‘themes’, and ‘philosophical things no one wants to think and yet will always wonder about.’ … Exactly.

-walks over to her- Um, are you ok?

-upon entering the library a blond haired girl about her age in a school uniforn looked at her- Oh yeah, maybe you can help me, I'm a bit lost.

She…didn’t work here. She was going to borrow some books, and then…She didn’t work here. Wasn’t a student, wasn’t a client, was a stranger. She tucked herself in between some shelves.

She broke into a sprint. She didn’t know the man, she had things to do, and she would not be comfortable to talk to some stranger.
