As they stepped onto the bustling subway platform of New York City for the first time, excitement pulsed through them.

But the crowded rush of people quickly engulfed them, separating them from each other.

One of them hurriedly made her way towards the exit, turning around just in time to see the doors closing on her friend.

With a burst of adrenaline, they both reached out, pulling the doors apart in the nick of time.

Amidst the laughter that followed their narrow escape, she felt a sudden warmth trickling down her face. Confused, she reached up to touch her nose and discovered a nosebleed. Whether it was the stress of the moment, a bump during their frantic attempt to reunite, or just the unpredictable weather of the city, she couldn't figure it out.

But as the subway whisked her friend away, they couldn't help but laugh at the unexpected turn of events.
