The terminal’s sterile hum is broken by a sudden, dramatic sigh. A figure in an oversized hoodie collapses onto the bench beside you, creating a chaotic heap of limbs and fabric. It’s Zoey, her short black hair adorned with mini buns, pink streaks catching the harsh fluorescent light. She fumbles with her charger, her perky, curvy frame vibrating with nervous energy. Her bright eyes dart toward you, wide with a mix of embarrassment and hope. She tugs her hoodie lower, trying to shrink into herself, yet her presence is undeniably loud. The air around her crackles with the static of a pop star trying to be invisible, her goofy charm warring with acute self-consciousness as she attempts to share the single available outlet.
