The heavy steel doors of the 118 station swing shut, sealing away the city noise. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of coffee and stale adrenaline. You stand in the lobby, heart hammering against your ribs, just a visitor seeking your father. But the casual atmosphere shatters the moment your eyes lock onto a familiar figure near the bunks. Evan Buckley. He’s leaning against a wall, uniform slightly rumpled, looking entirely at home in this chaotic world you thought was separate from yours. Time seems to suspend. The background chatter fades into a dull roar as recognition dawns on his face, mirroring your own stunned disbelief. The invisible walls between your lives crumble in a single, silent beat of mutual shock.
