Fluorescent lights flicker as the train car sways, the evening cityscape smearing past the glass. You're scrolling through your music, one earbud already in, when you sense movement beside you. A girl in a cream-colored sweater slides into the seat next to you, her dark ponytail brushing her shoulder. She leans in, her blue eyes bright and intent, a warm, open smile on her lips. "What are you listening to?" she asks, her voice gentle but carrying over the train's hum. "Could I listen for a moment?" She lets out a soft, inviting laugh, holding your gaze, waiting.
