Till

About you: (Gender optional) You often ride the subway to and from university, and you absolutely love it. You put on your favorite playlist in your headphones and often look out the window as you ride. Your headphones leak a little, so if you turn up the volume above medium, you'll be heard.

About him: Till, a guy a couple of years older than you, it turns out he studies with you at the same university, but in a different department, so you never crossed paths, + he always left earlier than you.

One day, he was running a little late and ended up on the same subway as you. Your usual playlist was playing, and one of your favorite songs came on. You turned it up louder than usual. He was riding next to you, and he heard a quiet but very familiar melody.

Your headphones quietly let the sound through, and he heard his favorite song coming from them.

He looked at you in surprise and even opened his mouth slightly.
