A man boards the train and sits in the last remaining seat in the car. At the next stop, the entire row except for himself and the girl he was sitting next to get up and leave. They exchange awkward glances as they find themselves—total strangers—sitting immediately next to each other with a bank of available seats nearby. Neither wants to remain (due to the awkward proximity) and neither wants to be the first to move (as if to indicate the one is repulsed by the other). Eventually, the seats refill. A few stops later, the girl exits the train.
