Arthur finished up his research session at the library feeling both enlightened and somewhat disillusioned by what he had discovered. The afternoon sun was streaming through the tall windows as he gathered his notes and made his way to the checkout counter, where he decided to borrow a comprehensive book on realm languages—one of the few resources that might actually prove useful. The thick volume felt heavy in his hands, promising hours of challenging study ahead.
After completing the checkout process, Arthur stepped out into the bustling city streets and made his way to a small restaurant he had spotted earlier. The casual dining establishment offered exactly the kind of simple, satisfying meal he craved after hours of intensive reading. He ordered a modest meal and ate quietly while reviewing his mental notes from the day's research, processing the sobering information he had uncovered about District 3 and the true state of humanity's struggle against the void creatures.
