"No. The points have a purpose," Roland answers quickly, a slight shake to his head. "There's a shop where you can purchase a variety of items. Last I checked now, they just added bigger pets...for a hundred, if you have it on you."

Nope. Ken didn't need to know Roland's gripes about the unfairness of the points system, so even if you could afford a hundred whopping points to spend, how would you get them back? They knew the broad strokes, but to this day, the train still won't share the proper breakdown of what action corresponds to a point. Alas. The adult has to adult.

It's at least a good sign that he smiles genuinely at the mention of superhero movies. "There's a least a hundred titles in the cinema car. Some of them are about heroes, yeah. My favorite's the one where a pilot gets powers after hitting a magic meteor. It's nice."

We love us some off-brand Captain Marvel.
