Common Room (Astronomy Department)

To aid another is a gift bestowed upon us,
Though to hurt others is a curse given upon us by the world.

[Enter Tetsuya]

Hesitant to enter the room at first, and simply peering around to make sure it was clear of all females students, and teachers alike. Noticing none of the two had casually entered the room like any other adult his age would have, with a slight addition to the constant worry and sudden jump in heart rate due to the open feel the common room seemed to have. It was much like a rather overly done hotel lobby, except with more capabilities, and far more leisure. He had quickly taken a liking to the fact that the room had a shelf filled with many books of all assortment, also because of the fact that it seemed quite safe and free from any females at the time. And upon feeling quite safe had quickly began to walk through the room examining the many things that it had to offer, doing so ahead of time before the larger batch of students would arrive in the room. It was after walking and examining most of all the details that the common room had to offer he had quickly brought up a pile of books that were on the shelf, and upon seeing the dust that began to amass on the books could no longer ignore them. Pile after pile he had set them on the ground near an armchair that was placed not too far from where the shelf was located. And once all the books were set on the ground, Tetsuya had without a single pause began to read the books that were set and laid out before him.

It was about an hour or two after starting had he neared his way through the end of the lot of books, memorizing the majority of each story, swiping the pages, as he continued reading out each page with monstrous, if not at an atrocious pace. Keeping up somehow with his two eyes following the words as they flew past within every instance he swayed his head. His hand resting momentarily as he went through two pages within momentary pauses. The pile quickly being remade without any other thought, barely noticing the dust that flew around him in a quick flurry, twirling and dancing around as if at a ball. It was a splendorous moment; he was quite endorsed in his reading, to such a degree that his hesitation had nearly if not already dissipated along like the dust that filled the air, and no longer troubled the books as he continued to swipe at the pages, learning more about the tales the books had entailed, feeling sorrow that such books were subjected to be placed back once again. But unable to take them all had simply decided to finish reading them all first then deciding after.

It was several hours later, he was on his last book, had for once stopped his hands from swiping through the pages the same way he had before, as he slowly felt the cover of the last book. The book was leather-backed, quite old, and had much informataion jammed into many pages, words, and letters in which he was dieing to read through. However something about the book had caused him to hesitate, the author, the title, the feel, and the topic were by no means something he disliked, on the contrary he adored it. The reason why he stopped his entertainment was the sudden thought that if he were not to read this book he might forget and then... The thought was really pointless and not well thought, being an idea taken from the last story he had read simply shook his head and began to read with the utmost care. It took him quite longer as he slowly read through the book, though upon reaching the half way point did he stop for a moment, took a breath, then continued till he had finished the book. Satisfied though rather disappointed that he had finished it in the end had forced himself to place the books back on the shelf. Looking at the time had heaved a sigh and decided it best to take a short break elsewhere.

Pain is something we as humans must bear,
Yet even still, the goal for peace fills the minds of many.
