## Voices Along the Departure Route
- [The Seat Beside Mine](https://gate-after-hours.pages.dev/#c1): It's nearly eleven, and I've been sitting at Gate 06 for what feels like half the night.
- [What I Never Sent](https://gate-after-hours.pages.dev/#c2): The announcement keeps crackling above me, and every time it does, I think of the message still sitting in my drafts.
- [A Little Too Much Honesty](https://gate-after-hours.pages.dev/#c3): There's a terrible carpet pattern here, blue circles on grey, and I've been staring at it since midnight.
- [The Last Coffee Together](https://gate-after-hours.pages.dev/#c4): At 12:40, the coffee machine makes a noise like an old radiator, and the whole terminal smells faintly of burnt sugar.
- [Her Name in My Notebook](https://gate-after-hours.pages.dev/#c5): I have a notebook full of things I never say aloud. Shopping lists, hotel addresses, little observations about people on trains.
- [The Ring in My Pocket](https://gate-after-hours.pages.dev/#c6): My fingers keep finding the little velvet box in my jacket pocket.
- [One More Song Before Boarding](https://gate-after-hours.pages.dev/#c7): Someone is playing piano music through a tiny speaker near the windows, and it makes this whole place feel like a hotel lobby from another decade.
- [When the Lights Came On](https://gate-after-hours.pages.dev/#c8): At three in the morning, the cleaning crew switched on every light, and suddenly everyone looked like they had a secret.
