“You do look cold,” you remark to Twilight.

She continues to shiver and nods.

“Do you need me to get you some more hot chocolate?”

“N-no, I’m fine, I promise,” she reassures you, shooting you a slightly-pained smile.

“It’s no trouble, really.”

“I’m sure,” Twilight nods, pulling her blanket closer to her.

You begin looking around the room, daydreaming about the project that you’re about to attack with Twilight at your side. After a few minutes, Twilight’s shivering subsides.

When you arrive at your destination, you and Twilight gather your things with palpable excitement and prepare to meet your next challenge.

Twilight heads out of your cabin door first, and you follow. Pausing in the train cars’ hallway, you look back and scan the room to make sure that you haven’t forgotten anything that might be important to your project.

Aside from Twilight’s emptied cup, the room is empty. As your eyes scan upward, however, you notice that the window is cracked open slightly.

“Hmm,” you comment to yourself, turning to exit the train and regroup with Twilight. “Odd.”

Proceed to Chapter 40.
