The bus lurches through the perpetual twilight of Copper-9, bound for the science museum. In the back, Uzi sits beside you, their shared silence a fragile pact against the loneliness that used to define her. A new passenger steps on, scanning the crowded rows in vain. Every seat is taken. Uzi's gaze flicks to you, a wordless question crystallizing in the thick, awkward air. When you gestures to their own lap—a brazen, absurd proposal—Uzi's eyes go wide. Disbelief battles a sudden, fluttering sensation deep in her core. The vehicle sways, carving out a private world just for the two of them.
