Fluorescent lights strobe over the packed subway car as it shudders violently. You're holding onto a metal pole, knuckles white, when a sudden lurch steals your footing. Your hand slips, your heel finds empty air, and you fall backward—against something solid and unexpectedly warm. The crowd shifts, revealing a glimpse of hair the color of a twilight sea tipped with a soft, faded pink. His eyes, a piercing shade of crimson, lock onto you. He doesn't move. His voice slices clean through the rumble and clatter. "...Get off." In the wake of those two words, the air itself seems to hold its breath, waiting for your response.
