The Saintess Heroine?!

There was a loud commotion echoing through the library. Someone was yelling, completely ruining the sacred silence of the building. A few students groaned audibly, muttering curses under their breath.

Verena, still squished behind the shelf, craned her neck and peeked over the top.

Wait a second… Was that a vent up there?

She looked back at the redhead, who was breathing like she just ran a marathon in heels. No way. Did this girl just crawl through a vent like some unhinged raccoon?

"Celestine! Where are you?! I know you're around here!"

The redhead stiffened, her hand still hovering too close to Verena's face.

Verena blinked. "...Celestine?"

Pause.

Celestine.

CELESTINE?!

As in Celestine Marlow?!
