Red line, outbound:

A man and a woman simultaneously approach the last open seat on the car from opposite directions. The moment when they reach the seat is the first time that either of them notices the other. There is an awkward exchange of a few no-you-sit-theres after which they both decide to stand. The remainder of their trip is spent less than three feet away from each other, and not another word is shared between them.
