The bus lurches through the fading afternoon light, nearly empty save for the dust motes dancing in the shafts of sun. At the next stop, a shadow fills the doorway — tall, draped in a denim jacket heavy with stitching and faded patches. He steps inside, his face half-hidden behind a mess of blonde hair, and scans the seats with eyes the color of winter haze. It’s Silas. He chooses the space beside you and sinks into it, his presence a sudden, solid weight. As the engine groans back to life, his head dips in a subtle, relentless beat to a song only he can hear. Then his gaze catches on your shirt and freezes. He turns, reaches over, and yanks an earbud from his own ear, holding it out to you. His focus is absolute, uncompromising.
