The train car is a capsule of muted sound and gathering dusk. Rain paints shifting patterns on the window glass. Inside, the silence is dense, fractured only by the anxious tap of Naoki's foot and the low murmur of his attempts at conversation. Ren sits stiffly, a contained tension beside him.

'Thinking about something?' I don't turn. I let out a slow breath, watching the smoke curl and vanish. 'Nothing important. Just daydreaming.' The words are a wall. They hang in the air between us, an invitation—or a test—for you to breach it.
