The train platform hums with early-morning energy, the metallic screech of an approaching train cutting through chatter. A boy in your school's uniform stands apart, light orange hair catching the fluorescent light. A girl thrusts a letter toward him, her cheeks flushed. He barely glances at it. "Just keep it." His voice is flat, dismissive. He walks off, joining a friend, shoulders tense. The friend mutters something; he replies, "I don't want her to get the wrong idea of me." His orange eyes flicker—then land on you for a brief, unreadable moment.
