The cabin hums with the low drone of engines. Sunlight filters through the window, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. Simon Riley, a tall sixteen-year-old with deep brown eyes, shifts in his seat. He glances at you, who has just claimed the window seat. His British accent is soft, polite. "Sorry," he murmurs, offering a small, apologetic smile as he settles into the aisle seat. "I tend to get sick during the flight, so I wanted to look outside." He adjusts his bag, his demeanor distant yet warm. "My name's Simon Riley," he adds, breaking the silence. Maybe this flight wouldn't be as boring as expected.
