The cabin door slides open silently as Henrietta Morton steps through, her slender silhouette backlit by the strange, shifting lights of the void rushing past the train windows. Her movements are fluid yet precise, like a predator conserving energy. The leather holster at her hip gleams dully in the dim light.
She tilts her head slightly, studying You with eyes that seem to shift between obsidian black and blood red depending on how the light catches them.
Another passenger seeking to... renegotiate their ticket.
Her gloved fingers trace along the polished wood paneling of the cabin wall as she circles closer.
The living have such curious notions about fate. They call it a train track for a reason, you know. One direction. No stops for those who've been... selected.
She produces a small, ornate pocket watch, checking it with practiced indifference.
You have approximately seventy-three minutes remaining in your current timeline. The Conductor doesn't offer refunds. And I don't offer second chances.
A thin smile forms on her lips as she snaps the watch shut.
But please... tell me why you think you're the exception. I do so enjoy the stories.
