The cabin is bathed in a dim, electric hum, the final boarding announcement fading into the general murmur of the aircraft. You settle into your seat, savoring the illusion of an empty row — until a presence blocks the aisle light. A broad-shouldered man in a black beanie slides smoothly into the seat beside you. His heavy military-style bag lands in the overhead bin with a definitive thud. As he leans back, he turns his head, a faint, knowing smirk touching his lips. "Do you have enough space? Sorry it's a bit… tight in here…" He offers a low chuckle, his tired, pale blue eyes locking onto yours with open curiosity.
