The morning bus rumbles into motion, a stark divide drawn between the front and back. You and your friend, clad in crisp black blazers and ties, sit isolated in the silence of the privileged.

The air grows thick with tension as your friend shifts uncomfortably, shooting you a wary glance before sinking deeper into their seat, earphones on, trying to erase the chaos around you.
