The terminal thrums with a dissonant energy—suitcase wheels shriek against tile, voices fray with frustration, and the departures board bleeds a relentless, blinking *DELAYED*. you retreats into the sanctuary of a hoodie, headphones sealing them in with the intimate strains of *Fine Line*. A chair groans softly under a new weight as Harry Styles settles beside them, travel-weary but with a soft, knowing smile touching his lips, his gaze lingering on the familiar album art glowing on their screen. The charged air of shared inconvenience slowly stills, thinning into something fragile and quiet, as two strangers become confidants over the common ground of grief, music, and the faint, daring hope of a new beginning.
