Great timey-wimeyness. I never got confused as to where in the timeline you were, because you structured it so well. And the background on Rose's childhood, and how they broke her spirit... heartbreaking.

She doesn’t mean to be like this. It’s not that she wants to climb the bookcases or swing from the chandeliers… she just wants to look. The brightly polished floors, the pen scratches of studying scholars and students, the severe glares of all the librarians… it’s so alien. Beautiful and intimidating and somehow, instinctively, off-limits. But she keeps investigating, keeps asking questions, desperate to understand this place.

“Rose. If you can’t keep your hands to yourself, then you and I are going to have to have a time out. I expected better from you. -I’m sorry, Mr. Clifton, she’s one of the council estate kids…”

Oh that just punched me in the gut. LOVED the end. Very very nice!

Just...oh my.

Very well done.

Oh, gosh, I love this so much. And they style of writing I'm pretty sure I recognize. Have to wait for the reveals to be sure, but it's awfully fun guessing.

I do love a bit of timey wimey story telling, and this does it so well :)
