A cinematic 3D animated scene inside an enormous ancient library. An elderly man with white-gray hair, a full white beard and kind expressive eyes sits alone at a massive antique wooden desk. He wears elegant, modest dark clothing. In front of him stands a large antique hourglass. The elderly man silently watches the sand slowly falling through it. He occasionally shifts his gaze between the hourglass and the endless shelves surrounding him. The library is enormous, with impossibly tall bookshelves disappearing into the darkness above. Narrow warm orange lights illuminate parts of the shelves, contrasting with the dominant deep blue atmosphere. Slow cinematic camera push-in toward the elderly man and the hourglass. Subtle natural movements only. The elderly man remains silent, mouth closed and motionless. No dialogue, no lip movement, no sound, no music, no text.
