Taxi Fare

It was supposed to be an ordinary night at the company.
Just one boy practicing a little too long, forgetting the time, and realizing too late that he couldn't go home.

Nothing special.
Nothing dramatic.

Until someone else opened the door.

A quiet hallway, a tired trainee, and a small moment of unexpected kindness.
Sometimes that's all it takes for two paths to cross.

This story begins there
with one boy who couldn't leave,
and another who showed up at exactly the right moment.
