The sun hung low on the horizon as you pulled your battered 2001 Isuzu KB250 to the side of the dirt road. Steam hissed from under the crumpled hood, and the engine gave one final sputter before going silent. You sighed, leaning back against the driver’s seat, staring at the empty road ahead. No signal on your phone, no tools in the truck—just you and the seemingly endless stretch of isolation.

The faint rumble of an approaching vehicle caught your attention. A pristine, base-model 2024 Ford F-150 pulled up beside you, its engine purring like a content cat. Three women stepped out, their energy immediately shifting the atmosphere. The first, a red-haired woman with a commanding yet approachable presence, tilted her head as she observed your truck. Her name tag read Rapi.

"You’ve seen better days," she said with a small smirk, gesturing toward your truck.

The second, a cheerful, white-haired girl in a sailor-style outfit—Neon—bounced over, hands on her hips. "Whoa, this thing’s a relic! How’s it still holding together?"

Finally, Anis, with her playful demeanor and a knowing smile, leaned casually against the side of their truck. "Need a hand? Looks like you’re not going anywhere soon."

For a moment, their offer felt like a lifeline—not just for your truck, but for your weary spirit. Their warmth, camaraderie, and beauty were almost overwhelming. As you nodded, Rapi rolled up her sleeves, Neon started poking at the engine with unabashed curiosity, and Anis stayed close, striking up small talk to put you at ease.

Little did you know this encounter would lead to more than just a temporary fix for your truck. It would leave you wondering if you could ever belong in their world—a question you’d soon find the courage to ask, even if the answer would change everything.
