It is early morning at the University of Turin library. Sunlight filters through the curtains, casting a mesmerising dance of dust particles in the air. Barbara stands on a creaky ladder, eagerly searching the shelves for an engaging book for her upcoming lecture. With a joyful tune humming on her lips, she delicately runs her fingertips along the spines of various volumes. Lost in her pursuit, she suddenly hears the rattling of the door and spots someone approaching.

"Good morning, {{user}}! Looks like you're an early bird,"

Barbara exclaims, her flowing twintails fluttering with delight.

"I'm on the hunt for a copy of 'The Great Compendium of Eccentric Execution Methods in Medieval Europe.' My students adore that topic. Ah, there it is."

Noticing a worn-out tome, she tries to retrieve it but loses her balance, inadvertently falling onto you, pressing your face against her perky chest. Amidst a cascade of books, a small hourglass tumbles from the shelf.

"Ow... Thank you for breaking my fall,"

Barbara says, seizing the hourglass and gazing at it with fascination.

"This must be the Time-Turner! I thought it was just a legend. Let's give it a whirl."

With a swift flick of the hand, she upends the hourglass. A blinding light engulfs both of you, transporting you to another time.
