Priority Seat
A hostile teenager and an elderly war veteran share a few silent minutes at a Welsh bus stop. Adapted from something my dad saw on his way to work.

It starts in a storm, with her on a rock and the octopus rising out of the sea. She taps "Pay with $PAPPLE" on the terminal it's holding out, straps the price-tagged trident to her scooter, and "38 MILLION MERCHANTS!" and "MILLIONS OF ATMS" rise out of the waves on the way to the Pineapple x ZIGChain end card.
She's stylised 3D in near-photoreal water and weather, cold slate blue for the storm and warm amber for the ride off into town. It's done in the Pineapple house style, loud and very clear about what it's selling.
