Six hours of forced proximity on a cramped bus seat defined your shared history with Wilbur Soot. The school’s seating chart had failed to keep the arch-nemeses apart on the trip to Paris. At 9pm, a lonely gas station offered a brief respite. You wandered near the treeline; Wilbur sought the WC. Then, the roar of a diesel engine shattered the night. The bus—luggage, friends, teachers included—lumbered away into the darkness. "WAIT!!! STOP!!!" you screamed, but the taillights vanished. Inside, Wilbur heard the panic. He washed his hands, peered out, and saw your horror. Realization dawned. The bus was gone. He strode toward you, face pale.
