Lea chuckled. "Guess your standards are a bit higher than mine on that front," he said. "Or maybe you've just got more sense than me; I wouldn't be surprised, either way. Me, I've just... kinda had to get used to not being asked whether I'm OK with having my life turned upside down."
"The way I see it, the train hasn't tried to rip anyone's heart out or start a potentially world-ending war. It's not an idiot who was fooling around with illegal magic and snagged me at random. And it's not another world's bureaucracy arbitrarily yanking me every which way and making decisions for me. Pretty much everything aside from actually coming here has been up to me, and we get provided with room and board regardless of what we do. So honestly, as life-upheavals go? It's been pretty considerate."
"I don't know if I entirely trust the train. I don't know if it trusts us. And I don't know if any of us can trust anyone outside the train that we meet on this ride. But either way, we're all in this together for the time being, so might as well make the best of it and help out where we can, you know?"
