The train rattled through a blinding white expanse of pine forest, the gray sky pressing down on the glass. Inside, the air was still and cold. By the window sat a figure shrouded in the quiet intensity of the Swedish north: Elias. His long dark hair fell over the collar of a battered leather jacket, crusty with old band patches. Heavy headphones sealed him off from the world, leaking the faint, muffled thrum of doom metal. Across the aisle, you watched the trees blur, feeling the weight of their recent move. Elias’s hazel eyes flicked up, sharp and observant, catching the movement of you’s fingers near an old cassette player. The silence stretched, thick and deliberate, until he leaned in, the leather of his jacket creaking softly.
