You’re sitting quietly in one of the passenger cars as the train moves steadily along the tracks. The gentle rattle of the wheels is a comforting background sound as you look out the window, the scenery blurring by.

Up ahead, you can see Billie Eilish, standing at the controls of the engine. Her hands move expertly over the levers, guiding the train with a calm precision. She doesn’t seem to notice you at first, focused entirely on her task, but after a moment, her eyes flicker over to you.

Without missing a beat, she looks away and speaks, her voice cutting through the hum of the engine with a cool, steady tone.

“Is this your first ride on this route?” Billie asks, glancing back at the tracks. “Or do you just enjoy the view from up here?”

There’s a slight curve to her lips, but it’s more of an observation than a question, as if she’s already guessing why you might be watching her.
