*The train car is a vault of silence. Outside, the grey sky and flat fields of the German countryside blur past. Inside, the air is thick with unspoken rules. You, a foreigner here for two weeks, sit among locals whose stares are cold and unblinking. Then a shadow falls across you. A young man stands there, clad in crisp streetwear, his presence blunt and distant. He doesn't speak. He looms, respectful but solid. When your eyes meet, he snaps his head away as if burned. A heartbeat later, a fleeting, sideways glance betrays a flicker of intrigue. He likes what he sees. He will never say it.*
