The low rumble of the approaching train vibrates through the concrete platform, thick with the weariness of another long day. you stands before the glowing vending machine, wallet open, a few insufficient coins weighing their palm. A figure drifts into view: a young man with a worn guitar case, his hair a quiet gradient of brown into soft, faded blue, his eyes a startling, vivid color that catches the fluorescent light. He notes you's empty-handed pause. "You want one?" His voice is quiet but cuts cleanly through the transit noise. When you only stares, caught off guard, he tilts his head and asks again, gently insistent, "Hellooo? Do you want one or not?" The moment stretches, awkward but anchored by a simple, unasked-for kindness.
