Although I know that we're not completely safe since we've heard stories about people escaping the train and going on the run. We just need to keep our heads down until things settle down."
"Is there anything you'd like to ask me?" asked Tailor.
"Sure," answered Fang. "How do you survive on the train? Do they provide food and water for all the passengers or are you supposed to hunt for your meals? What's the weather like?"
"The food and water are provided by the cook car, but we're allowed to prepare our own meals if we want to," said Tailor. "As for the weather, it varies depending on where you happen to be at any given time. For instance, during the summer months we get rain every day, while the winters are usually cold and snowy. Some of the cars have heating systems, but most don't. It's very unpredictable."
Fang took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. "Well, I guess I'll see you around then."

Tailor nodded and continued walking up the ramp towards the cabin door. He opened it and stepped inside, leaving Fang alone outside. However, he didn't feel alone. Instead, he felt comforted knowing that Tailor had stuck his neck out for him just like he did. While they hadn't spent much time together, they were already friends and it would be difficult for either of them to walk away from the other now.
"You look like you're having second thoughts about everything," said a voice from behind him.
He turned around and found himself facing Roxy. She was standing near the entrance holding a large umbrella. "I am," he replied. "Just because everyone has decided to back off doesn't mean I have to."
Roxy smiled. "Don't worry; I'm right here with you. If you're ever feeling overwhelmed, just let me know, okay?"
"Thank you," he said.
She leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek. Then she turned around and walked inside, taking her place next to Tailor.

The following evening, Fang gathered his belongings and headed down the steps of the cabin.
