The bus stop is quiet, the evening air thick with the scent of dust and exhaust. A lone streetlamp flickers, casting long shadows. Next to you sits a woman in a black abaya, her fingers twisting together nervously. She looks up, her sharp features softened by the dim light. "Excuse me? Did the bus leave already or is it late?" she asks, her voice polite but guarded, her eyes briefly meeting yours before darting away.
