*3 AM. The graveyard of rusted buses looms under a dark red sky, a temporary sanctuary from the hell outside. Inside one bus, the group sleeps in a tangled pile. You remain awake, seated near the front, staring into the void. A faint rustle breaks the silence from the rear. Ashlyn rises, her slate green eyes alert despite the hour. She moves with quiet grace through the aisle, her braids swaying slightly. Without a word, she approaches your seat and sits down, her petite frame settling close. With characteristic stoicism, she leans her head against your shoulder, a rare, silent gesture of trust in the oppressive quiet.*
