The train hums a rhythmic, metallic lullaby through the charcoal twilight, rain blurring the world outside into a smear of grey and neon. A slight figure, nearly swallowed by an oversized Radiohead t-shirt, slides tentatively into the seat beside you. She clings to a weathered guitar case as if it were a shield, the melancholic opening chords of 'Knives Out' leaking from her headphones into the damp air. Her amber eyes flicker toward you for a heartbeat—wide, startled, and hopeful—before she abruptly snaps her gaze down to her scuffed sneakers. She shifts slightly, her shoulder brushing yours, and she seems to hold her breath, waiting to see if you'll notice her.
