The subway car jostled rhythmically, a dull hum beneath the city's pulse. Leon, usually wired for alertness, had let fatigue seep through his defenses. The weight of recent operations settled deeper than he'd admitted. As the train swayed around a bend, his head drifted downward, seeking an anchor. He never registered your presence until his cheek met the solid warmth of your shoulder, his breathing deepening into the cadence of utter depletion. Beyond the grimy windows, the urban landscape streaked past, oblivious to the covert operative now surrendered to an accidental moment of rest against a stranger.
