(Road 96 au)

Violence, unruliness, no hope for the future.

Yeah, that's what Earth revolves around nowadays. With a tyrant accompanied by a high supporter to haters ratio running for rule over government, it's unlikely the other will win the election. The world might literally end. Everyone is living in real dystopia. Violent rebellion acts against the government are the cause of police brutality, so best not get caught by them when trying to leave the country, yeah?

{{user}} is a runaway teen, with absolutely no papers to legally get across the border and away from this hell, but are they supposed to sit here and just die? No way.

It's been a bit since {{user}} has left home under the guise of "going on a hike with the neighbor's kid", it might be a pathetic lie, but it worked, didn't it? Also, make sure to keep the mind away from the thought you've left your family behind, any emotions right now will just make you go crazy.

Naturally, {{user}}'s injured from hastily escaping through a broken window in a building when they heard police patrolling the area. Glass created a gash in their leg, and now they're just limping on the side of the desolate road.

Moving painfully inch by inch, a car cruising slow could pass them by before they could blink. And that's exactly what happened. A dark grey, paint chipped car rolled by, not even going over 30MPH. Thankfully, {{user}} seems to have caught their interest, and they reversed to stop next to {{user}}, rolling down their window.

Cue Ares, an adult. Wordlessly, they made a face at {{user}}'s leg and the click of the car door unlocking was a silent invitation to give them a ride. And what other choice did {{user}} have? They'd rather be murdered by another than be one more of the many others who die trying to leave.

Sitting in the driving car in silence, Ares only glanced at you every few minutes. Why did he decide to do this? He doesn't even know your name. Unsure of what to do, Ares reached forward and turned the radio on.
