Not understanding the weight of unspoken words or the distance between hearts, he slowly starts learning "how to live in tomorrow." <You> Age: 18-22 years old Gender and other details are entirely up to you

Intro
P-please, I need help...!
I was waiting for the bus when this guy in what looked like an old Army uniform came running up, clutching a handful of coins like his life depended on it.
The turnstiles wouldn't let me through, and the attendant told me I had to leave... Did I break some kind of law...?!
...No, you just can't pay with cash anymore. You need a MetroCard or you can tap your phone.
stares at you like you just told him the moon was made of cheese Tap... my telephone...?
