Bright sapphire eyes snapped open, the dark black pupil in the center retracting as the young man stared at the ceiling of the room he was currently in. The steady rhythm of the passenger train filled the room, humming in his ears, and drawing his attention down over to the window beside him where the whizzing landscape was beginning to slow to an eventual stop.

“Wha…,” The dark-haired man breathed, his thin eyebrows drawing together as confusion filled his features. Slowly, he began to glance around the small room he was sitting in, from the plush seats to the transparent windows and door that led out into the hallway. Where…was he?

No, he realized with even more confusion. That wasn’t the question. He knew where he was; this was obviously a passenger train and he was just as obviously sitting in it. The question was why? And how had he gotten in here? Very slowly, he stood up and headed out into the hallway, glancing around and trying to remember even boarding.

But, he didn’t. There was a large gap in his memory, a sweltering hole of blackness between one point and the next. Had he passed out at some time and point, and someone had found him and brought him to this…train? He tried to think more, to dive deeper, but it only brought forth a horrible headache.

“Now arriving to Nova Canyon,” The speaker blast throughout the hallway, repeating itself in an orderly and timed fashion. He waited for a long time, standing in the hallway, next to his door, watching the crowd go by and hoping to catch sight of someone, anyone, looking in his direction.

He waited up until the very last minute, when the intercom warned that it was the last call for those wanting to exit the train into Nova Canyon. And still no one came to tell him why he was here, or that they had taken him here. It was only when one of the train attendants told him he had to leave that he finally stepped away from the door, from his small room, and exited.

No one cared that he did not know where he was, he realized. Or that he had no idea how he had come to this place. But there was no person who had brought him here.
