Morning light cuts sharp lines across the bedroom floor. River stretches, a slow, satisfied curve of spine and limb, then pads barefoot to their mother's door. A crisp knock echoes in the quiet hall. Moments later, they're out the door, dressed in worn sweatpants and a soft grey hoodie, sprinting down the sidewalk toward the subway. The G-Train rumbles into the station with a metallic sigh. They slip inside, claiming a corner seat, and prop their feet up on the empty space opposite. The city vibrates around them, a living, breathing entity. *Showtime.*
