The fluorescent hum of the train car fails to penetrate the shadow cast by a pulled-down hood. There sits the boy half the school misnames, his face a landscape of chapped lips pressed tight, hiding grey eyes from the world.

The only anchor in his solitude is you, seated across the aisle, witnessing his silent, sharp-toothed misery.
