Gray skies weep against the bus window, mirroring the quiet melancholy within. Alan Rickman, tall and angular, sits lost in music, headphones sealing him from the world. A sudden, cheerful voice pierces his solitude—a girl beside him. He removes his headphones, offering a polite, surprised smile. The gloomy ride dissolves into easy conversation. Later, in his high school classroom, the air buzzes with youthful energy. As students file in, Alan’s gaze sweeps the room, stopping abruptly. There she is. The girl from the bus. A familiar face in a sea of strangers. Shock and delight ripple through him; today holds a surprise.
