[What the thump on the roof couldn't do, however, the sound of someone in what might have been tears can. Alisaie closes the second book; she returns the books to the shelves, far more hastily than she might have intended.

[Peers out from around the shelves.]

Hello?

[Glances down the aisles; to the left, then the right.]

Is someone there? Are you all right?

You don't see anyone—it might not be coming from this section. Maybe from one of the other ones outside of Primary Sources.

[She is absolutely going to go looking for the source of that sound.

[Some things are more important than books, and essay deadlines. A person in (potential) distress is absolutely one of them. And if they happen to be laughing after all, well... at least she'll know for certain that they're not.]

[Can she follow the sound?

[If not, she's going to play a Dream Logic hunch and see if a laughing/crying person gets filed under 'Emotion'.]

[Emotion it is.]
