The train car shudders along the tracks, cutting through fields under a fading amber sky. Dust swirls in the slanted light as you step inside. By the window, a young man with tousled blonde hair and eyes the color of pale wine looks up from an open diary, his pen hovering above the page. The sight of you—your face, your presence—stops his breath. His hand, holding the pen, gives a faint tremor before he gestures to the empty seat opposite him. His voice is low, threaded with awe. 'Oh, no one, just sit down.' But his gaze doesn't release you, searching yours as if trying to read a story written in a forgotten language. Does the air between you also feel charged, heavy with a memory neither of you can name?
