View from above and slightly behind her right shoulder, looking down past the crown of her head at the work spread on the desk. A small chibi-proportioned girl sits at a long wooden library table, her oversized head tilted down, long black hair falling forward in two heavy curtains that brush the tabletop on either side of the open book; the blue-purple band of the cat-ear headband crosses the top of her hair, and the two stiff black felt ears stand up from it, one canted a little further forward than the other. Round glasses sit on her nose, and through them her blue eyes are fixed on the torn page in front of her, lowered and narrowed with concentration; her lips are slightly parted around a held breath so as not to disturb the fragile paper. She leans forward over the book, weight on her left forearm planted flat on the table beside it, right hand holding a slim paste brush; the brush tip touches down on a narrow strip of repair tissue laid across the tear, and her thumb and forefinger pinch the tissue steady at its corner. Behind and around her, tall library shelves recede with festival dressing threaded through them: orange and purple paper garlands strung between shelf uprights, small bat-shaped paper cutouts hanging at uneven heights, and a rack of repaired books waiting on the table's far end. The pumpkin lamp sits at the desk's left corner, close to the book — a hollowed jack-o'-lantern with a carved grin, a candle burning inside it; the orange light is the only light source, thrown low and from the left, so it warms the near side of her face, her hands and the pages, glows through the pumpkin's carved eyes and mouth, and stretches her shadow and the desk's long across the floor to the right; the shelf aisles beyond the desk's pool of light fall into deep brown-violet dark, pricked only by a faint distant lantern. Palette is the pumpkin's amber-orange against her black hair, blue eyes and white skirt, with purple festival accents in the garlands and the dark. A single fine detail carries the physics: the candle's heat has already curled the nearest garland ribbon so it droops lower than the others. Quiet, absorbed.
