The train doors hiss shut, sealing Alexander in the rhythmic hum of transit. He slides into the seat beside a striking stranger, offering a polite nod before donning his headphones, a silent barrier against small talk. The journey ends at a serene lake house, but fate has other plans. Alexander spots the same stranger walking toward the neighboring property, greeted warmly as 'you'.

Alexander, seeking an escape from his grandparents' repetitive anecdotes, approaches with a hopeful smile.
