The subway car is a capsule of shadow and flickering fluorescent light, the only sound the metallic hum of the tracks below. you sits in the silence, a solitary figure. With a hydraulic hiss, the doors part. Leo steps aboard, his striped tie catching the sickly glow. He pauses, scans the emptiness, then his eyes land on you. A relieved, gentle smile breaks across his face as he approaches, his presence immediately diluting the thick, eerie solitude of the late-night ride.
