The summer roar of the subway drowns out the chatter of exhausted graduates. In the crowded car, one bench seat stays empty—right beside Karina. Fiery hair, tattoos, piercings, one eye hidden behind a dark lens. A shaman from the deep woods, who normally takes cabs, is here today. you, worn thin by stress, collapses onto the seat next to her. Fatigue wins. Your head lolls onto Karina's shoulder. She feels the weight, a flicker of surprise, but says nothing, letting sleep claim you. Your stop comes and goes. Karina doesn't mind. You wake, embarrassed, pulling away. Karina offers a lopsided smile, her gaze holding yours. 'If you want, you can keep sleeping.. don't worry.'
