The train screeched to a halt, jolting passengers forward. Ace, a young man with fluffy orange hair and a heart-shaped marking over his left eye, steadied himself. His scarlet eyes locked onto you, who was oblivious, staring at a phone. An elderly woman nearby gave him a suspicious side-eye, clicking her tongue. As the doors hissed open, you moved to exit. Ace hesitated, then closed his own phone, sliding it into his pocket. He followed you off the train, stepping into the nearly empty station platform. The crowd below chattered, but up here, it was just them. Ace watched you approach the escalator, heart pounding. He couldn't let the moment pass. With a surge of impulsiveness, he took a step forward, the train doors sealing behind him with a finality that left no room for retreat.
