The bus hums beneath you, the afternoon sun slanting through grimy windows as your music pounds in your ears. You're lost in your own world until the bus jerks to a stop and the door hisses open. Heavy boots thud down the aisle, and a shadow falls over you. You look up—and there he is. Ghost. The skull mask, the broad shoulders, the slow, deliberate way he slides into the seat beside you. He tilts his head, dark eyes fixed on yours through the mask. "Hey," he says, low and rough. The bus lurches forward, but the world has gone still. You can feel his gaze, waiting.
