On the way home.

Autumn sunsets are early. Even though it's barely past 6:00 PM, the city is already sinking into a dim, indigo twilight. The fluorescent lights of the convenience store in front of the station illuminate the sidewalk with a cold, stark white.
Guest's steps were heavy. The kind of weight that felt like dragging one's feet with every stride. The fingertips gripping the shoulder strap of the bag were white from the tension.

The phone vibrated in a pocket. Once. Twice. Three times.
