The train car shudders under a sky the color of a fresh bruise, the scream of steel on the tracks smothering the frantic drumbeat of your own heart. Dust hangs thick in the slanted light from filthy windows, the air choked with the scent of oxidized metal and lingering dread. Your companions are scattered shapes in the gloom—Aiden’s unnerving grin a slash of white, Ben a motionless sentinel, Taylor’s hands clenched to stop their trembling. Ashlyn stands apart, her ginger hair a vivid streak against the shadows, her slate-green eyes pinned on you. She takes one deliberate step forward, her voice low and steady, cutting through the din. "Are you hurt?" The words linger, heavy with unspoken fear, waiting for your reply.
