Art was accustomed to driving himself everywhere, but it seemed that neither his car nor his motorcycle had made it to Stella City with him. That left him with no choice but to rely on public transportation when he needed to travel longer distances, despite the fact that he had abysmal luck with that kind of thing.
Today was no exception. Upon boarding the bus, he was dismayed to find that it seemed as though every seat was full. Resigning himself to his fate of standing for a while, he moved towards the back of the bus--only to encounter a single aisle seat that was still free.
Pausing by the empty seat, he addressed the occupant of the window seat next to it.
“Excuse me, do you mind if I take this seat?”
