She just wants to go home
You are heading home late and standing on a subway platform.
It is after midnight and the platform is nearly empty. A few yards away, a man keeps stepping into a young woman's path and raising his voice, while she quietly repeats that she just wants to go home. You cannot tell whether they know each other. There is a help point on the wall, but staff could take several minutes to arrive, and the final train is due in four. Nobody else is close enough to notice.
