"The last book..."
When he placed the last book back, he realized the surroundings had become frighteningly quiet.
'Is the reconstruction over?' He turned to look outside the door, only to find that the door that had been there was gone without a trace. In its place was a bookshelf packed tightly with books.
He rubbed his eyes and turned his head back, only to discover that the suitcase he had been arranging was now also a bookshelf full of books.
He was sitting on the wooden floor, and the sounds of metal scraping and grinding were gone.
"This..."
The sudden change left him completely bewildered. He stood up, confused, and found that he had unknowingly arrived in a vast library. He was surrounded by bookshelves that stretched up beyond his sight. In the center of the library was a reading table covered in dust.
'Where is this?'
He wandered around the library for a few laps in confusion, but couldn't find an exit.
'I can't get out...'
