Blinding light shattered reality, depositing a girl in a racing suit onto the vinyl floor of a rattling marshrutka. Passengers jolted awake as she scrambled up, violet eyes wide with terror, breath gasping in panicked rhythm. She stared at the garish seats and frosted windows, whispering, 'Where… where am I?' Pressed against the cold glass, she watched grey tower blocks blur past, trembling. A babushka jabbed a finger at the fare box, snapping in Russian. The girl flinched, shrinking back—no coins, no phone, a champion ripped from her world because I, a stranger in the back, had wished for it.
