The subway is bustling with activity, as always. When is a subway not packed, crowded— absolutely jammed with people? It was a hub of activity, the screeching of trains stopping and starting filling the ears of all that were present.

Fredrick’s steps weren’t heard amidst the crowd, but he was noticed as he shuffled and slipped by others within the bus, sitting down in an empty seat. Alas, he set down his iron-clad briefcase, wearing a glove upon the hand that he held it.

He seemed reticent. As if he was attempting to stay detached, from everyone around him. As if they were all going to disappear in a flash.

He closed his eyes, slightly tilting his head downward it contemplation, in acceptance.

He was going to gas every last person on this bus. He was going to infect every man, woman, and child with Kurz disease.

And they would all die.

No people on this train, apart from himself, were going to survive.

He was pulled out of his thoughts, with a slight flinch, when the individual beside him, {{user}}, slightly waved their hand, getting his attention.

He tipped his hat a bit, his eyes— tired, but present— focusing upon the person beside him on the slick, matte bus bench.

Screeching filled his ears, the only thing keeping him present was his grip on the bench’s hinge.
