"Thank you for your time."
Sylvie said as she stood up. At this point, the library had already been emptied to the point where only a handful of people were left.
"No problem." Hearing his curt reply, Sylvie was once again reminded of the fact of what kind of a person this guy was.
"T-then, I will take my leave."
With those words, she returned to her own table. However, when she glanced back at her table, she noticed something amiss.
Jasmine was sound asleep, her head resting on her arms, which were spread out on the table. Papers and notes were scattered around her in a haphazard manner.
"Jasmine?" Sylvie whispered, gently shaking her friend's shoulder.
Jasmine stirred, her eyes fluttering open as she groggily looked around. "Huh? What? How long was I out?"
Sylvie couldn't help but smile. "It looks like you needed a break more than any of us."
