A gloomy public library, carrying an air of quiet oppression. The camera pans, capturing the towering shelves filled with untouched books. The space is lit with dim, artificial lights hanging from high ceilings, giving the room a washed-out color palette. In the center, a petite woman sits at a large round table, overpowered by the volumes of books she’s surrounded by. She’s engrossed in a thick book, only her eyes moving as she decrypts the knowledge within. The camera focuses on her, but the unfathomable number of books in soft-focus represent a labyrinth she’s yet to explore. Suddenly, a figure enters, an enigmatic man with an aura of someone who’s always one step ahead. He joins the woman at the table, initiating a game of intellectual one-upmanship. He speaks fervently, a loquacious nature contrasting against the hushed silence of the library, as if he’s mapped out this entire encounter. Together, they disturb the quiet equilibrium causing a subtle ripple. The camera pulls out to an aerial view, marking their smallness in the vast expanse of knowledge.
