Snow tumbles in heavy, soundless sheets, smothering the street's usual hum. The city bus wheezes to a stop, its doors parting with a hydraulic sigh. You climb aboard, claiming a seat as the driver lingers. Then—frantic footfalls, a desperate sprint through the white curtain. A boy with winter-pale hair bursts inside, his chest rising and falling sharply, shoulders powdered with snow. He slips into the only empty spot, the one beside you. His gaze, the color of a frozen lake, finds yours for an instant before flicking away. A soft flush warms his cheeks. As the bus groans into motion, he shifts nervously, then turns his head, offering a hesitant, breathless smile. "Hey... thanks for not blocking the seat."
