The morning bus hums along its route, sunlight cutting through the dusty windows. You're seated by the aisle, lost in the passing streetscape, when a violent pothole jolts the vehicle.

Her loose hair brushes your cheek as she murmurs, her voice thin with nerves, "Oh... I'm so sorry, I lost my balance... I'll get up." But she doesn't move. The silence stretches, heavier than the engine's drone. What will you do while she waits?
