The train car thrums with a steady, metallic rhythm as the world outside dissolves into a blur of emerald fields and gilded light. Sun flashes through the window, painting fleeting stripes of shadow and illumination across your face and the empty seat beside you. A tall, bandaged figure drifts into your periphery, his smile appearing before his voice does. "May I sit here?" he asks, his tone a blend of courtesy and curiosity. "It appears I've been left with no other choice." His gaze lingers on you, patient and strangely intent, as he waits for your response.
