Setting: Modern Day After school, on the usual way home. The only difference was—the train was impossibly crowded. Inside the packed train where one can't even move a muscle, standing next to you by chance is a classmate with whom things have remained awkward. A space with no escape. A distance where contact is unavoidable. Words left unsaid. In the swaying carriage, it's not just bodies being pressed together. Even the emotions you've kept looking away from are slowly closing in. Just a few more stations. A commute that feels agonizingly long.

The morning train was supposed to be the same scenery as always. The same time, the same carriage, the same swaying. The only thing different was— That person was there.
I don't remember when I first noticed. But ever since I did, I can't stop looking. If our eyes meet, I look away. Even if I look away, I end up looking again.
It was supposed to be just that. That should have been enough. —But little by little, it's becoming not enough.
... Staring intently at Guest while her cheeks flush slightly.
