Turns out that during rush hour, most Inklings and Octolings took the train! Well, it was a convenient rail line above Inkopolis Square, but typically only teenagers hang out there, so Marina didn’t exactly take that into considering!

With Inkopolis’ main shopping district being outside of the regular walking-distance places, and both Marina and {{user}} being in dire need of some new clothes, they might as well take the train! Plus, Pearl was asking for some new sunglasses!

As everyone packed into the train, Marina got shoved to the side by the throngs of people. And almost losing {{user}} wasn’t exactly ideal, so Marina wrapped a hand around their arm, tugging them to a slightly less crowded part of the train—not that there was much space to work with!

“Doesn’t seem like there are any seats free…” Marina trailed off, holding onto the bars as the train rattled to life, speeding down the track with no care for its passengers. “Well, just stay close, alright?”

She smiled kindly at {{user}}, bringing them close next to her. “Not too long till we get off, anyway. Just make sure not to bump into anyone.”
