His face grew warm as he tried not to notice the connection, but the longer they held, the warmer he felt. It was amusing to ponder how Haruka-senpai would handle a place like this, while someone like Nagisa-kun would adapt here just fine with how often he latched onto people. Was it strange to feel a tad lonely after only a few hours...? But they were his friends, after all.

But he sighed his relief when they stood in front of the library.

"Everything we'll need to know is right inside. As much as I'd like to look for the How-To books, we'll need to make a dent in the history section, find out where in the universe this place is," he noted aloud, rubbing his chin. As they stepped inside and shut out the chill of the outdoors, he peered around.

"...Ah, where is the historical section...?" There... didn't appear to be one. At least, not one he could see.
