    Summary

    "Václav, he just- he had to-
    See for himself. Run a hand over the wood of a shelf that hasn’t been pulled from the wall, mourning the abuse of the books thrown onto the floor. This was a front. He has digital copies of all of them. But, despite his adoration of tech, or progress, he’s grown a soft spot for this place, the feeling of paper beneath his hands as he turns a page, the smell of old ink when he, enraptured in a story, leans in far closer than necessary. Darwin’s On the Origin of Species glares up at him from the floor, chapters ripped free by uncaring hands, and Václav’s stomach rolls."
