“WHAT IF IT was actually some freak accident?” was there ever a wrong time to try and look on the brightest side possible? probably. he’s kind of combating logic here, but it might be worth it for the possibility of defusing some tension (or rather swapping it for a different kind).

“..i hear stories like that all the time in the paper. some, uh.. some guy in my hometown actually stapled his own hand to this wooden fence he was workin’ on by mistake, and was out there for nearly a whole night before someone came to the rescue. almost lost a limb i’m sure   — could you imagine?”

Enoch stood at the window of the dining carriage, watching the breathtaking landscape rush by outside. His intention had been to keep interaction with the other passengers to a minimum, whilst maximising his reading and window-staring time. It was not that he particularly hated anyone else on board.

What luck.

As he stared out of the window, he saw another passenger approach out of the corner of his eye. Perhaps they were here to admire the view as well. Again, Enoch had no desire for conversation. But his manners, as always, would bend for nothing. “It’s still a gorgeous view, at least.” was his simple beginning. “Is this your first time seeing it too?”
