The scores had just been released, known to a handful only, as they walked down the street, passersby coming and going, not one paying attention to them.
Nick led Bai Youwei, Shen Mo, and Ada onto a public bus.
The bus driver was a mannequin, and with few passengers on board, after a few stops, they were the only four left.
Ada asked Nick, "This bus doesn't seem to go to Gelard Avenue. Where are we heading?"
"You'll know when we get there."
Nick was gazing out at the streetscape from the window, not answering directly.
Everyone had just emerged from the instance, all very tired, so Ada didn't bother to ask any further, went straight to the back of the bus, and lay down across the last row of seats.
Bai Youwei and Shen Mo chose a window-side double seat, sitting down to rest.
Nick was tired too.
