The bus shuddered along the winding mountain road, late afternoon sun cutting through the dusty windows, painting long stripes of molten gold across the worn seats. You leaned your forehead against the cool glass, earbuds sealing you off from the riot—Tommy’s booming voice, Tubbo’s cackle, Niki’s soft humming. A sudden, soft impact against the back of your skull snapped you back. A beanie. You caught it, fingers curling into the fabric, just as Tommy’s shout pierced the noise: ‘PASS IT HERE!’ The beanie’s owner lunged forward, cursing colorfully. Your grip tightened. You glanced back toward you—and for a heartbeat, someone’s gaze held on you a moment longer than it should.
