The fluorescent buzz of the train car feels thin and cold, unable to cut through the shadow pooled beneath a drawn hood. There sits the boy half the school still misnames, his face a stark study in suppressed feeling—chapped lips pressed to a bloodless line, grey eyes hidden from the rattling world.

The only fixed point in his unraveling is you, seated across the aisle, watching his sharp-toothed silence.
