The tram depot was bustling with people, as drivers prepared to take over their shifts. You never thought of it, because the thought of driving a tram yourself has always made you anxious, but many tram drivers worked at the one time. Obviously. The lines stretched the whole settlement. There would only be a tram every few hours otherwise.
Though sometimes it felt like there was.
Anyway, as the suns set, you calculated the exact time Ehvay would have gotten on the tram. -20 sundegrees, give or take a few minutes. You go up to one of the drivers working.
Do you know who would have been at stop 25 last night at approximately -20 sundegrees?
Yeah, that would have been my friend Shan Dentata. You need them for something?
Yeah, the Elders tld me to talk to them.I think they’re the last person to have seen my friend. They would have got off at stop 49 if that means anything.
Oh... that does ring a bell. Shan told me that last night, as a passenger on their train got off at stop 48 or 49, they felt a terrible rumbling of the earth, unlike anything they have felt in their life. And then they heard a scream, but it was cut off.
Oh.
Yeah... I hope you find your friend anyway. I’m really sorry to hear that you lost them. I know I would miss my friends terribly if something like that ever happened to them.
Thanks.
