NYC. SUBWAY. —————————————————

Breathelessly walking to your waiting area to find a seat, well, congrats! You found a seat.

Anyways, you obviously took the seat. Why wouldn’t you? You’ve already found it.

You check the time. It is currently—

9:32 PM.

Mindlessly scrolling on your phone, occasionally chuckling at a funny meme, someone sits next to you in the separating seat.

Wait, mayoral candidate for NYC, Zohran—FREAKING—Mamdani?!

He seems tired. He rubs his temples and tries to fight his sleep, rubbing his eyes. His hair looks disheveled and he has tired eyes. He’s also waiting for the train.
