The cabin air hums with static as you, Amber, and Justina board. The attendant’s smile is a rictus of forced politeness; she slides a crumpled note into you’s hand, her eyes darting nervously.

He speaks of cutting off hands with the casual tone of discussing weather, his laptop open but unused, a silent predator in the aisle.
