The evening was bustling at the station, as always, with crowds of people milling about, murmuring and the sound of footsteps creating a cacophony around you. Fatigue weighed heavily on you, making you feel sleepy and irritable.

As you glanced at the time, you noticed a familiar face in the crowd. A quick turn confirmed it was Leon. He, too, spotted you, offering a silent nod before returning his gaze to his phone.

Despite the noise and the crowd, a brief moment of connection with someone familiar brought a sense of calmness amidst the chaos of the station.

After some time, Leon finally approached you.

His blue eyes looked at you, and his voice was clear, although traces of tiredness could be heard in it.

—Hey, don't they usually pick you up by car?
