The train car hums under flickering fluorescent lights, stale air thick with the scent of rust and rain. Outside, the city blurs past in streaks of neon and shadow. You're the only one who got on at this stop, heart still racing from the news broadcast echoing in your skull. Then you see him—a tall figure slouched in the seat ahead, black hair falling over pale skin, a dark tattoo peeking from his collar. He turns, slow, and a cold smile spreads across his face. "Why you looking at me like that, sweetie?" he purrs, and the train lurches forward into the dark.
