This process continues for some time. The blonde exploring as you keep working, and covertly observing her every move. Until she reaches the librarian’s counter that Ange is so fond of. There, she looks around the surrounding shelves. When it’s clear again, you look there again and see her disappear below the large desk, just like Ange did some time ago. Guess she’s aware of the control panel now.
A pang of worry latches to your gut as the boxes quickly get more and more empty, but Jaq remains unseen. Finally, she emerges, hand on her chin in deep thought and – to your mild concern – heads towards the staircase leading to the first floor. Stepping on the first step, she stops and looks sideways to face you again, her azure orbs meeting yours. There is something in them; in her tiny pupils, uncertainty? You gulp as even with this apparent weakness she remains steadfast, gripping the railing tightly. For a moment, the hacking sounds of your ‘community service’ fade away as you share this tense, yet weirdly intimate moment with the first person you met about to rethread the path you yourself took not that long ago.
Does she not care about what you have said at all? You think, but flinch when your hand grazes over the now emptied box, ending the moment. Sighing, Jaq turns to face the stairs once again. The red rug covered stairs upon which - to both of your surprises – Your Cat casually, almost irreverently, prances step by step down, passes between Jaq’s legs, and promptly sits next to the main doors, as if ready to leave. “Hmph, seems like you should go...?” She says. “Right, Knightie?”
Surprised by her light words, you look back and peer into the boxes – true to her words, somehow, the boxes are all empty. Further, one of the boxes you were taking from was allowed to be left for later, so you done a little more than necessary. Probably not enough for a reward, but still.
Sitting still in deafening silence, a stark contrast to a mere minute ago, it's time for you to make a choice... What next?
