Violet and Sapphire were awake. The other 50 people in the train were still asleep. Soon, another girl woke up. Her name was Toph. She looked around wondering where she was and who was there. Violet saw her wake up and nudged Sapphire to let her know someone else was awake.
"Huh- Oh-!" She nodded upon seeing Toph stir. "Welcome to the train of despair."
"What?"
"This is the train of despair. If that wasn't clear."
"Oh. Alright I guess." She stood and paced the width of the car. "We'll find out where we're going when we get there, right?"
"Sure enough."
After that was settled, another girl woke up. Her name was Jules.
"What the- what's going on."
"No one knows, but we'll find out soon enough." said Sapphire.
