"Hey, are you okay?" he asked, concern evident in his voice.Emily nodded weakly, managing a small smile. "Yeah, just... my head is spinning a bit. Must be exhaustion from today's events," she replied, her voice tinged with weariness.As Caleb guided Emily out of the station, he scanned the empty streets, hoping to spot a taxi waiting nearby.

"It's so rundown and disgusting."Sophia shot her a reproachful glance. "Amanda, must you always be so negative?" she chided angrily. "You never know what someone's living situation is like.

"Come on, Caleb," Sophia whispered to herself, her voice tinged with a mixture of frustration and distress.
