Subway midnight train: eyed Turkish girl, skipped—Blackberry, mom resemblance, checked nails. Two guys, two girls board, pair off friends-like. Clear Spanish—not Mexico/Central, maybe Colombia. Tired, backpacks—library study, DC forest blaze. Girls head on guys. First arm hangs casual, sleep. Second guy stares her head, strokes hair deliberately, 20 minutes unresponsive. Creepy: “If she leaves, kill her family.” Betas live fantasies reality-denied.
