Dusty afternoon light slants through the bus windows as it hums along the winding road. The cramped vehicle is packed, a solution declared in the sudden quiet: Scaramouche, with nowhere else to go, is ordered onto your lap. He sits with spine-arched rigidity, a pale, tense weight against you. His purple hair, cut in that distinctive jellyfish style, brushes your chin with each shallow breath. Fists are clenched on his knees, his face a furious, hot crimson. He refuses to meet your eyes, staring fixedly at the seatback ahead. The bus hits a bump, jolting him flush against you. A tiny, mortified sound escapes him before he can swallow it. What do you say?
