More hours have passed, and Meela continues to wander along the streets of San Fransokyo. She has explored numerous districts in the cities and has even entered several of their buildings. Most of them have things she has never thought was possible in her own time; such as strange electronics for entertainment (video games), motion pictures you can see on the screen (films and TV shows), and even several sophisticated toys.

Of course, Meela has little need for them at the moment. However, it did inspire her to look into what has happened while she was gone. And she knew exactly where to go;

The public library!

Of course, San Fransokyo's Public Library is a system of libraries scattered along the city. The largest is the Main Library at Civic Center (for OBVIOUS reasons), and that is where Meela is entering right now.

Meela walked towards the entrance, noticing the design of the building being monuments and a bit wealthy. She smiled to herself. "Definitely my type of place to be..." she thought to herself, before she walked towards the double doors, just before they moved aside on their own.

Meela was taken aback, and she looked at the doors, staying in place. After a while, the doors closed on their own. Meela, after a while of sitting there, stepped forward. The double doors opened again.

"Hehe...doors that open on their own..." she muttered to herself as the doors closed again. She stepped forward, and the doors opened again.

After a while of playing with the doors, Meela walked past the doors and stepped inside the building.

Once she got in, she walked along the hall, and once she got to the main area...she was in shock at the interior!

The path forward leads into the lobby, and below the path, there is another library with rows upon rows of books. Meela smiled as she walked forward. Once she got to the library lobby, she looked around, noting various floors and rooms, each with various rows of books, and some rooms even have different themes.

Meela's enhanced hearing picked up beating hearts within the building; since it is close to nighttime, not a lot of people are inside the building at this time. She smiled to herself in satisfaction.

"Good. Far fewer people to annoy me." she thought to herself.

"Good evening, ma'am." a masculine voice spoke up from her left. Meela turned her head, and she looked at an employee. He was nothing special, just a man in his late teens. Meela smiled and approached him. "Good evening, sir." she said.

"Do you need anything?" he asked while Meela got close enough. Meela smiled sultrily. "Is there a section in this library that revolves around history? I'd like to know more about America's past." she explained, cupping her hands together. The boy blushed a little bit, feeling chills coming from her voice. "U-Uh...well, it's on the 6th floor, up there. Just go up the stairs, and you should eventually find it." he explained, shyly.

Meela's smile broadened as she nodded before she raised her hand, and just to tease him, patted him on the left cheek. "Thank you, sweetheart." she cooed, before she walked away, leaving the boy in place, flustered.

Soon, Meela arrived at the history center and began to search through the aisles.

"Hmm...so many to choose from...however, I just need from the 1800s to now...where is it?" she asked herself as she searches.

Eventually, she arrived at the 'Modern Section', and with a smile, began to pick out a book from the 1830s to modern times. "Perfect." she muttered to herself before she looked around for a place to sit.
