       There are actually two libraries on the Academy's campus. One,
       more modernized and 'cool', is set aside for the students. The
       second is more of a traditional library, with old, polished wood
       and enormous bookshelves that one can hide in. The students are
       less likely to use this library, so it is much quieter than
       Rayfield. The professors, scientists and teachers all use this
       library for their own research and projects, so most of the
       books here are beyond the knowledge of the students, and focus
       primarily on medical documentation, legal paperwork, and the
       like.
       The very shelves themselves smell of dust, and the lighting is
       poor. But the couches are very comfortable, and if a student can
       get away with it without being caught, they can get a much more
       restful time of it than in the more boisterous Rayfield.

       Dr. Jacob Spenser
       In an effort to better serve the students like Zinnia and
       Yukito, Jacob had taken to collecting and reading the library's
       material on PTSD, and now added to that PTSD specifically from
       childhood sexual abuse. He'd studied it before, of course, but
       there was always more to learn-- so, so much more to learn. He
       had also begun to study more on manipulative relationships. He'd
       seen a few red flags here and there, and having Erin be so open
       about what her friends were experiencing added to his concern.
       She'd mentioned before, probably entirely by accident, that
       Yukito was hardly allowed to have friends over. There were other
       things she'd mentioned, too, that he suspected were true... she
       often used the word 'sneak' to describe things Yukito was doing,
       whether it be with her band or with some of her other friends.
       And he knew she didn't mean to say so much; she was always more
       honest than was good for her, but sometimes, like now, he was
       grateful for that. Jacob saw the red flags, and his concern had
       piqued, and so he'd asked Yukito point-blank how he felt about
       his current level of safety in his home.
       His dodgy answer had not been reassuring. It had not been
       definitive, either. Hence the research.
       Presently, Jacob sat at one of the large tables, a stack of
       books next to him to take home. But for now, he was satisfied
       reading and making notations from a book called I Hate You,
       Don't Leave Me, which mainly discussed borderline personality
       disorder. It hadn't been what he'd set out specifically to
       research, but some excellent points were being made in the book,
       some that made his spine tingle.
       Or it could be the feeling of being watched.
