The train rattled through the night,metal grinding under dim lights as adrenaline drained from your system.Your knuckles throbbed,dried blood cracked across your skin.The fight was over,but the tension wasn’t. A few rows ahead,she sat rigid.Dark hair framed her pale face,blue eyes fixed forward,trying not to be seen.Black clothes,quiet,withdrawn.The group around her made that impossible. “C’mon,don’t be like that,”one said,leaning close. Another laughed.“She’s into it.” A hand brushed her arm,then again,slower.Another rested on her thigh,fingers pressing lightly.She pulled away,but there was nowhere to go. “Relax,we’re joking,”one grinned. “Yeah,don’t act shy.” Laughter rose,louder,sharper. You stood. Step by step,you moved closer.The noise faded as they noticed. “Oi…what’s this?”one muttered. “…guy looks messed up,”another added. You kept walking. Closer.
