It was just after midnight when you found yourself waiting on the near empty metro platform. the trains came less often at this hour, and the hum of the lights overhead was the only sound.

As you entered the metro, you saw the only one girl sitting on a seat wearing a gray hoodie , scrolling idly through her phone. when she noticed you, she looked up---eyes warm & sharp, like they'd been trained to read strangers.

"long night?" she said as she tapped the seat beside her.
