Excuse me...

Excuse me...

Yes, ma'am?

Tell me, is there somewhere I can get a bite to eat? I haven't eaten for two days.

I'm new here, but I'll try to find out.

Thank you.

I've found out about the food. There's a canteen in the next car, you can go there and they'll give you something. But the meals aren't free.

Not free?

You know what the situation is in the country. And meals are not included in your ticket.

I guess they aren't. But I don't have anything to pay with.

Nothing at all?

Only this teddy. It's all I have left from my daughter.

What would I do with a toy?

It's very valuable. Imported.

Or take this gun! I don't think I'm going to be needing it anymore.

A gun? That's not something I'd expect a regular passenger to have. Where did you get it?

I found it. So what's it going to be?

Keep it, just go get some food.

Thank you so much! I'm famished!

Give me the toy.

All right, I'll take the gun.

Tell me, did you learn anything?

Yes, he's a simple chemistry teacher, you have nothing to worry about.

A teacher, you say... Thanks, you've reassured me.

By the way, I think the cook was looking for you.

What did he want?

He didn't say.

I'll go find out, then, thanks.

Hm?

Remind me, what did you want?

You said you'd find out if there's somewhere I could get food.

Oh, right. Well, I haven't found anything yet.

It seems our cook really likes you. He asked me to find out what your favorite dish is.

My favorite dish?

Yes.

I don't think I have one... Uh, you know, I haven't eaten any cakes for a very long time.

Thanks, I'll pass it on.

Tell me, do you happen to have any toys?

Toys? What do you need toys for?

A passenger has asked me to find a present for his daughter. It's her birthday today.

It so happens that I do have a stuffed toy, but it's my daughter's teddy....

It's very precious to me.

Looks like you've been on the road for a while and could use some extra cash.

Say, $50.

I really do need money, but...

All right, I'll give it to you, but for no less than $150.

Okay, $150 it is.

Well, sorry for bothering you, then.

Wait.

Yes?

I think... I'd be glad if it brings joy to another child...

Take it.

Thank you.

I don't have that much money.

You said you have some kind of plushie, didn't you?

Yes, it belonged to my daughter.

A passenger has asked me to find a present for his daughter. It's her birthday today.

I'm sorry, but this teddy is precious to me. I can't just give it away.

Is something wrong?

Yes, a problem has been discovered with the train, and while repairs are underway we're stuck here.

How annoying, my station is just a stone's throw away...

If you're in a hurry, you can take the commuter bus — it's at the station right now.

No, I'm afraid I didn't plan for any extra expenses... I'll wait.

As you wish.

Sorry for bothering you.
