As [[Johan 't Hof]] is closing up and sending students away, he enters the library. Here, he finds [[Oriann du Toit]], an oddball French student who moved to the country during the war.
Johan and Oriann are already passingly familiar, as Oriann likes to stay at the university late.
As Oriann is packing up his bag and putting books back on the shelves, Johan goes around shooing all the other students away.
The last group of students leaves through the door, but when Oriann tries to follow, the door refuses to open. (move to [[The University Library]])
