"Not that I know of but I have not conducted an exhaustive literature review."

"Would it help at all if I did?"

"...maybe? I'm not sure that's a great idea unless it'll count as a class assignment, though, you're busy - maybe I should shut up and let you do your work -"

"I don't know what you mean?"

"Well, like, it probably shouldn't be either of our rooms."

Nod nod.

Library.

On the way back to the library after classes he asks her if she's sure she doesn't want him to dose himself with something.

"I'm sure!"

"Okay. Sorry."

She swallows a sob.
