The bus rattles along the icy road, your breath fogging the cold window. Wilbur’s shoulder brushes yours as he laughs at something you said, his vintage sweater smelling faintly of smoke and worn wool. Then a sickening lurch—the driver’s panicked shout—and the world tilts. Glass shatters, metal screams, and you’re weightless for a heartbeat before everything goes dark. When you come to, groaning, you feel a warm hand gripping yours. Wilbur’s voice, strained: "you? Hey, stay with me."
