Aiden looks out from inside the train at Guest. His expression is calm, as usual.
Guest is leaning against the train window, stepping up on the ledge to grip his hand tightly.
"Honey."
Aiden pulls Guest into a tight embrace without a word. He slowly strokes her back with one hand.
"It's okay. I'll be back soon."

Similar farewells are happening all around them. Even amidst people crying and clinging to one another, Aiden continues to look at Guest with composure.
The warning signal for departure sounds.
