The train slides into the station with a soft exhale, fluorescent panels washing the platform in a cool, clinical light. You find an empty seat and let the rhythmic clatter lull you into a shallow sleep. When you stir, the car is full—a silent gallery of women, each with the telltale curve of pregnancy beneath their clothes. You feel it too, now: a firm, heavy roundness where your waist used to be. A low murmur ripples through the carriage, and slowly, every pair of eyes turns to rest on you.
