On-screen text

POV: invisible string man walks RIGHT past you in the tube station You proceed to both run onto the same carriage right before the tube leaves And sit down in the same area *Trying to build up to go speak to him* guys the most I could do was smile I gave him the tiniest smile as I stood up I have no confidence to approach him I can't not on a moving vehicle not on a moving tube I only have three more commutes before I leave this job oh my God I felt so nervous the entire journey also embarrassing if he's seen all this content and he's actively avoiding me now
