It took a very long time, but at last, at the very last minute, I had it: the right conclusion for Aylia.  I first considered teaching (which worked, but only sort of); then I thought of writing (which, again, worked, but just sort of).  Finally, with one night left to go before I needed to draw these . . . it came to me.  Librarian.  Of course, librarian.  With her own library, filled with academic books of her own choosing, autonomous and self-sufficient.  That's what Aylia ought to be doing!
