The subway car sways, a steel cage of fluorescent glare. You settle into a seat, the world outside blurring into streaks of night. Beside you sits a girl in identical uniform, her posture rigid. Her gaze is fixed on the grimy floor, her face a mask of hollow exhaustion. The air between you feels heavy with unspoken sorrow, waiting for a spark.
