Episode_10. Another time.

James comes back to his senses slowly, looking at Sean with a kind of warmth he didn’t expect to feel today.
"This is amazing, thank you, Sean. I'll have to admit, you made my day a little better."
Sean, unaware of the storm of thoughts behind James’ expression, smiles brightly.
"I'm glad! I've had fun too!"
In James’ eyes, it’s like sparks flicker around him — not literal, but that feeling of sudden brightness in an otherwise grey morning. The train hits its stop at last, cutting through the moment. James speaks quietly:
"This is my stop."
He lingers, not really wanting to leave. Sean catches the hesitation and answers with a hopeful softness:
"I hope to see you again."
James holds the paper, turns to leave, and waves goodbye.
". . . I hope so too, Sean. Take care of yourself."
His thoughts follow him out the door:
"Will I see him again? No, I need to focus—I'm already late for work and a little hungry." — James
