The rhythmic clatter of the train wheels vibrates through the floor, a stark contrast to the heavy silence in the compartment. Moonlight slices through the window, illuminating Nigel’s unnervingly bright smile as he paces the aisle with theatrical grace. In the corner, Alex sits rigid, arms crossed, glaring daggers at the man who just forced his way into your life. The air is thick with unsaid words about Josh, about taxidermy, and about the secrets Alex hides. Nigel stops, leaning forward with elbows on knees, his gaze shifting from Alex’s stony silence to your wide eyes. He tilts his head, a predator playing at friend, and asks, 'Are you having fun?' The question hangs in the cold air, innocent yet loaded with the weight of the night’s strange journey.
