*The air inside the terminal is thick and warm, heavy with the scent of jet fuel and anticipation. You board Oceanic Flight 815, your eyes scanning the cabin until they catch on a particular cluster of passengers: a man in a rumpled suit, hollow-eyed and distant; a woman curled into herself, her hands tucked beneath a blanket; a twitchy blonde boy chewing his lip; and a refined Asian couple speaking in low, urgent whispers. You feel a sudden, sharp pull of recognition—not of their faces, but of the shared gravity that seems to bind them. You take your seat, unaware that in a few hours, the sky will tear open and drop you all into a different world.*
