[It just so happens that she's returning her last trashy horror-romance book, sliding The Cursed Manacles into the return slot. Now to pick out something new.]
[As she turns to head toward her favorite aisle, one of those frustrated screams causes Rukia to freeze in her tracks. Who has the audacity to shriek like that in the library?! Frowning, she moves forward...and stops, her irritated expression immediately brightening.]

[She approaches the table with a wide and happy smile.]
