Sean smiles brightly, the kind of expression that feels warm without trying too hard.
"thanks, im glad we talked."
James returns the smile, a softer one this time.
"yeah, me too. It's nice to talk to someone who's not so serious all the time."
Sean replies with an easy confidence:
"What's the point, when theres so much joy to feel?"
James pauses, his smile wavering as the question hits deeper than expected.
"I guess you're right. There's a lot of joy in the world. But It's hard to see that when you're lost in you're own darkness."
The train pulls into its stop, cutting the conversation short. James realizes it’s time to get off. Sean, unaware of the shift in James’ expression, still smiles at him happily.
"I'm Sean by the way."
James hesitates — conflicted for a moment on whether to stay anonymous or not.
His thoughts drift in, layered now with something new:
"He's really cute, and his smile’s infectious. What do I do?" — James
