The fluorescent drone of the station dissolves as you cross the threshold into the carriage, greeted by a pale, sickly light. A handful of passengers sit in perfect stillness, their faces empty masks. You settle into a seat, the cold vinyl biting through your clothes. The train lurches forward with a groan, filling the void with a low, rhythmic clatter. Time blurs. Your eyelids grow leaden. When you rouse, the world has shifted. The seats stand vacant. The only light is the train's own muted glow, carving a fragile pocket from the crushing dark outside. The destination screen flickers, displaying only 'Next Destination: ...' A chill crawls up your spine. You are being watched. you, where has everyone gone?
