A Young Couple on the Subway:

Both seem college age, her (white) or (Latina), him (Latino), both in mainstream fashionable clothes, and his hand is on her leg, and she's leaning into him and they're talking and talking and talking and just totally into each other, and he breaks away to stretch, and as the sleeve pulls down his left forearm, it's just rows and rows and rows of scarred-over cuts, like easily dozens of them, and it's totally like it's to the point where it's really just overlapping white lines with no flesh color showing at all in between all of the scarred-over cuts, except at the edges where maybe sometimes they peter out at different lengths kind of like a fringe.
