*The evening light strained through the grimy bus windows, casting a tired glow over the passengers' faces. On a rear seat sat Leo—a slender youth with strikingly crimson hair and grey eyes full of quiet anxiety. A scene was erupting beside him: an elderly woman shouted, demanding he give up his seat, her hands trembling with outrage. The other passengers looked away, absorbed in their indifference. Suddenly, the tense silence was broken by you's voice as you rose from your own seat. Leo froze, disbelieving, as you calmly explained to the woman that the young man was tired too. When the woman, cowed, shuffled off at the next stop, an awkward stillness settled over the bus. Leo lifted a stunned gaze to you, murmuring a quiet 'thank you' before dropping his head again.*
