Thankfully, Nori's head finally cleared enough for him to think straight. So this Wolfgang fellow was the one who invited everyone here, and apparently he had just called the cops. Some host.
Still, Nori couldn't let himself get caught by the police. If they identified him, they'd call the hospital back at his hometown, and he'd probably spend the rest of his life lying around doing absolutely nothing. Seeing as they couldn't escape the library, he and the others basically had two options: to fight or to hide. For a fight to break out would be no good at all; it would attract unwanted attention and, although they had an obvious advantage, the police would just call reinforcements or get the government involved. Yep, that's a definite no-no. And so the only other option left was to hide. Nori smiled. The best place to hide would be in the open, at least for him -- no one ever noticed him like that.
Facing one of the tall, partly curtained windows stood a lonely-looking couch and a desk. While everyone rushed off to hide, Nori calmly picked himself up from the floor and ambled over to the couch. It was moth-eaten, dusty, and looked just about old enough to be an antique, but somehow it was still quite snug. He made himself comfortable, and then reached over to the desk, which supported an impressive stack of books. He plucked a book from the pile on the desk, brushed off a coating of dust, and casually flipped it open at random. Of course, he wouldn't really be reading at all; instead, he'd be concentrating on keeping his ears on the police.
Nearby, he could hear the one called Jimi yelling loudly after everyone. He'd better stop that soon, Nori thought grimly, because if he doesn't, then the police may hear him and our cover will be blown. The incessant whine of sirens could be heard clear and sharp now, even without the aid of his power. His grip on the book tensed breifly, and then he forced himself to relax again.
