The surface is a worn, wooden table with a few books scattered haphazardly, their pages slightly crinkled from the moisture in the air. The table is situated in the corner of a small, dimly lit room, with a single window letting in a sliver of moonlight. The walls are lined with shelves filled with more books, their spines worn from years of use. A vase of wilted flowers sits on a nearby windowsill, their once- vibrant colors now faded and dull. The overall atmosphere is one of quiet reflection and somberness. The viewer is observing this scene from a low angle, as if they are sitting on the floor, looking up at the table. The candle's flame dances and flickers, casting shadows on the walls and creating a sense of intimacy and introspection. The soft glow of the candlelight illuminates the surface of the table, casting a warm, inviting light on the books and flowers. The rest of the room is shrouded in darkness, with only the faintest hint of moonlight peeking through the window
