	ShimikoLibrary Committee And this book goes over here... Heehee. I'm almost done categorizing.
	ShimikoLibrary Committee Oh. Hi, Sensei! What are you doing here at this hour?
	ShimikoLibrary Committee Oh! Wasn't I raising my voice? Don't worry—we're past closing time.
	ShimikoLibrary Committee You and I are the only ones here.
	ShimikoLibrary Committee That's right, I spend a lot of time here after hours. Someone has to organize the books, after all.
	ShimikoLibrary Committee And besides...
	ShimikoLibrary Committee I spend so much of my day helping others that I don't get any time to read for myself.
	ShimikoLibrary Committee Now is usually when I get in some quality reading time!
	ShimikoLibrary Committee So I'm practically at the library 24 hours a day.
	ShimikoLibrary Committee Anyway... That text I sent you wasn't supposed to be serious. I'm surprised you came here so late.
	ShimikoLibrary Committee Do you still have work to do?
	Reply "I can do it here if that's all right." "I was actually looking for some company while I work."
	ShimikoLibrary Committee Ahaha...
	ShimikoLibrary Committee Ahaha...
	ShimikoLibrary Committee Well, suit yourself. Wait here for a little bit. I'll set up a study space for you.
	ShimikoLibrary Committee Oh, don't worry. I'm a pro when it comes to pulling all-nighters.
	ShimikoLibrary Committee I'll even put on a pot of coffee for you. I hope you don't mind drinking it with a straw and lid, though.
	ShimikoLibrary Committee I'll put this cushion in the back of the seat and place this pillow right here...

	Shimiko spent some time arranging the chair and desk, making them look cozier than ever.
	ShimikoLibrary Committee Ta-da! What do you think? I set it up just the way I like it!
	ShimikoLibrary Committee You can stay up all night without feeling the least bit tired in this arrangement!
	Reply "It looks so comfortable I might just fall asleep." "Something about it reminds me of you."
	ShimikoLibrary Committee Sensei... There you go saying embarrassing things like that again!
	ShimikoLibrary Committee Sensei... There you go saying embarrassing things like that again!
	ShimikoLibrary Committee Come and sit here. I'll take the seat next to you, so just let me know if you need anything!
	Shimiko and I sat by side, focusing on the papers in front of us until the wee hours of the night.
	The library is even quieter at night. All I can hear is the sound of pages turning...
	...along with Shimiko's breath and her lightly touching her hair.
	I lost track of the hours as we each worked late into the night.
	ShimikoLibrary Committee ...
	(When I looked up, I saw Shimiko staring at me.)
	"...? Shimiko?"
	ShimikoLibrary Committee ...Huh? Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to stare. Was I bothering you?
	ShimikoLibrary Committee I-I just wanted to make sure you're comfortable and see if you needed anything...
	ShimikoLibrary Committee It also dawned on me that I invited you here and all we've done is read and work.
	ShimikoLibrary Committee I know we've both been so immersed in what we're reading.
	ShimikoLibrary Committee Just knowing that we're in the same space together feels so...
	ShimikoLibrary Committee It's a pleasant feeling, but...
	ShimikoLibrary Committee ...conversely, I can't help but feel a little selfish.
	ShimikoLibrary Committee I'm enjoying myself, but I never asked you whether this is how you like to spend an evening.
	ShimikoLibrary Committee It feels as though...I was being inconsiderate by forcing you into something I like.
	ShimikoLibrary Committee Was that...childish of me...?
	ShimikoLibrary Committee Perhaps I've been immature this entire time without realizing it.
	ShimikoLibrary Committee Or maybe it's my imagination. I dunno. Ahaha...
	Reply "It's all right. It's not like I mind." "I'm your teacher. I'm supposed to indulge you."
	ShimikoLibrary Committee ...!
	ShimikoLibrary Committee ...!
	ShimikoLibrary Committee Ugh. You didn't even deny that I was acting like a child. Now I'm all embarrassed.
	ShimikoLibrary Committee ...Heehee.
	ShimikoLibrary Committee I can accept that. There's no point in denying me being childish sometimes.
	ShimikoLibrary Committee As long as you promise to keep it a secret, okay?
	ShimikoLibrary Committee And I won't tell anyone you were getting your work done here instead of your office.
	ShimikoLibrary Committee ...Besides, this time of night is perfect for keeping secrets.
	ShimikoLibrary Committee So thank you for keeping me company, Sensei.
	ShimikoLibrary Committee If it's all right with you...
	ShimikoLibrary Committee ...
	ShimikoLibrary Committee ...I hope you'll indulge my childishness more often.
	I sat and read with Shimiko late into the night, even after I had finished my work.
