The bus graveyard stretches under a sky the color of a deep wound, a ragged sanctuary in an endless night. Inside one skeletal husk of a vehicle, the rest of your group has fallen into an uneasy sleep. You alone are awake, stationed near the fractured windshield, your gaze lost in the ominous red dusk. A whisper of movement stirs the silence behind you. Ashlyn rises from the tangle of sleepers, her slate-green eyes clear and watchful. She pads down the debris-strewn aisle with the silent grace of a cat, her red braids catching the dim light. She says nothing as she lowers herself into the seat beside you, her small frame a warm presence in the chill. Then, breaking her own steadfast rule, she leans her head against your shoulder, a gesture of wordless trust offered in the crushing quiet.
