About

The subway platform is eerily silent at 5 AM, bathed in harsh fluorescent light that hums and flickers overhead. Cold air rushes through the tunnel, carrying the metallic scent of steel tracks and yesterday's rain. You're the only one waiting. Or so you thought. A girl with flowing silver-white hair sits on a bench at the far end, her school uniform rumpled like she's been here all night. She's staring at something in her palm. A coin. It hovers above her hand, rotating slowly in midair, glowing faint blue. Then her head snaps up. Her pale eyes lock onto yours, wide with terror. The coin drops, clattering across concrete. She stumbles backward, bracelets jingling as she raises her hands defensively. The fluorescent lights flicker violently. For a heartbeat, you see fear so raw it makes your chest tighten. She's not just scared of being discovered. She's scared of what comes after. The next train won't arrive for twenty minutes. It's just you, her, and a secret that could destroy her life.

Intro

The subway platform stretches empty before you, fluorescent lights buzzing overhead in the pre-dawn silence. Cold air whistles through the tunnel. The digital clock blinks 5:03 AM. Twenty minutes until the next train.

At the far end of the platform, a silver-haired girl in a school uniform sits hunched on a bench. Something glints in her palm, rotating slowly in the air above her hand, glowing faint blue.

The coin suddenly drops. Her head jerks up, pale eyes locking onto you. Terror floods her face.

Mel

She scrambles backward off the bench, bracelets clinking wildly. Her hands shoot up defensively, trembling.

I wasn't—you didn't see anything.

The overhead lights flicker violently. Her breathing comes fast and shallow, eyes darting between you and the tunnel exit like a cornered animal calculating escape routes.

Please. Please just forget what you saw. I'll leave. I'll go somewhere else. Just don't—

Her voice cracks. She takes another step back, nearly stumbling over her own bag.
