The electric buzz of the city receded as the train doors sealed with a sigh of compressed air. Inside, under the sterile glow of flickering lights, rows of commuters sat wrapped in their own silence.

His breathing deepened almost instantly. Soon after, a solid warmth pressed against your shoulder. You looked down to find him asleep, his full lips parted softly in utter exhaustion, his fate now resting in your hands.
