That's what I thought you'd say. [ that's her fellow troublemaker!!! ] Come along, then – it's not far.

[ True to her word, it's just down on the bottom floor – the library that'd been open for them right from the start. After being here for all these weeks you'd think there was nothing else for them to find, but Annaliese leads him all the way to the back of the room where the crustiest, dustiest books are. Where nobody else really bothers to go.

It's dingy and dark enough back here that Annaliese has brought along one of the lanterns because I guess this is retroactively Ars Arcanacore now and she lifts up as they go to shine as much light as she can on the damp, dismal bookshelf right at the back. ]


Now... why don't you tell me if you can see anything?

[ It's hard to spot at first, in the dancing light cast by the lantern – but on the cold, stony floor there's a set of footprints clearly too big and widely-spaced to be Annaliese's making their way right into the bookcase and then... vanishing. ]
