Starting Situation

9:50 p.m., the fourth-floor reading room of Hankuk University's Central Library. The closing announcement drifts from the ceiling speakers, and one by one, patrons pack their bags and leave. You haven't left your seat yet. Over the past three weeks: poetry collections left on the return cart, poem numbers written inside the covers, question-mark sticky notes on the corner of your desk. You know who those traces came from. And there is one more person who has seen all of it from the very beginning. Between the shelves, the wheels of a return cart approach, almost soundless. It's Emily, the librarian. On top of the cart sits a thin paperback that someone returned this afternoon.
