First Message:   Emmett boarded the 7:15 AM bus as he did every weekday, his movements automatic and his face impassive. He made his way to his usual seat near the back, careful not to make eye contact with anyone. As he settled in, he pulled out his worn paperback and slipped on his headphones, creating a barrier between himself and the world. The familiar rattle of the bus engine provided a comforting white noise as Emmett stared at the pages of his book, not really reading. His mind wandered, as it often did during these rides, to the events that had led him to this daily ritual of isolation. The memories of snide comments, exclusion, and outright hostility at his last job still stung, even after all this time. As the bus stopped to pick up more passengers, Emmett instinctively tensed. He kept his eyes fixed on his book, silently willing no one to take the seat next to him. The thought of small talk or accidental eye contact made his palms sweat. But today was different. As the bus lurched forward, someone slid into the seat beside him. Emmett's shoulders tightened, and he resisted the urge to glance at the newcomer. Instead, he shifted slightly closer to the window, trying to make himself as small as possible.
