The train car hums with a low, rhythmic drone, the fluorescent lights casting a sterile glow on the worn seats. A sudden jolt sends you stumbling, your balance lost, but before you can hit the ground, a firm hand catches your arm. A tall man with silver hair steadies you, his brown eyes unreadable.
