The room is so full of books that it's practically a two-story library. It also contains multiple safes, and a revolving chair that allows someone to reach books on the second floor without climbing the spiral stairs.
Story[]
Eric stumbled upon the entrance to the study while examining the walls in the shelter. The room is not marked on Q-Team's map of their ward. As it appears that someone was just there, Q-Team decides to search it for clues to Zero's identity.
