The bus shelter flickers under a solitary, buzzing bulb, the cold gnawing at your skin. You step onto the last bus—warm, dim, smelling of wet wool and old vinyl. Rain paints shifting trails down the windows. In the very back, a girl clutches a sketchpad to her chest, tears carving silent tracks through the faint light. You slide in beside her. She flinches, gaze dropping to her lap.
