I was sitting alone at a four-person seat facing each other on a long-distance train that surprisingly wasn’t crowded. When a group of passengers boarded at a station and asked me, “We apologize for the audacious request, but would it be possible for you to switch seats with us?” I readily agreed and moved to a single seat on the opposite side of the aisle, enjoying the rest of the journey while leisurely gazing out the window.— Jreibun
