Pa was at the small mirror of her cabin. She was freshening her makeup while her brother, who was showing the symptoms of the most intense and acute boredom, kept sighing while looking at the snowflakes racing on the glass of the window.

"You can go if you want to, why don't you make a visit to your dear friend Korn? I will come there when I'll be ready for lunch if you want. Isn't it less boring than watching me doing my makeup at the mirror?" she said laughing.

"Yeah... you are right Pa, I'll go and chat with Korn, don't do anything stupid without me"

"Do I really have to remind you that you are the member of the family that usually does weird and silly things? Anyway... see you later brother." She added.

"See you later sis" Pat replied and closed the door. He stopped for a moment in the corridor and looked at the carpet running through it. He shook his head and walked to the second class car. He reached the cabin of his friend and knocked on the door.

"Korn? Are you here?" he knocked again

"Wait a minute... here I am" Korn replied as he opened the door. "Do you want to enter?" He asked.

"Sure, Pa said that we should wait for her here, she will knock when it will be time to go to lunch." Pat replied. They closed the door and sat on the sofa. Korn gave him a glass of water as he noticed that his friend was thirsty.

"So, did you discover anything? You know that my father wants me to spy the competitor... but I couldn't even find Pran's cabin!" Pat remarked.

"Don't worry, I didn't find it, but I know where Wai is. His cabin is just next to mine... I almost got caught a few hours ago. He has been sleeping for more than two hours. We must be quiet or he will discover us" Korn explained.

At that moment Pa left her cabin and walked to the second class wagon, she was about to reach Korn's cabin but stopped before as another passenger got out of a cabin.

The passenger accidentally dropped a business card. Pa collected it and ran to her.

"Excuse me, you dropped this" Pa said. She looked at it and then at the passenger.

"Ink?"

"Pa? Pat's sister right? Long time no see!"

"Yeah! Last time we met it was during the last year of high school of my brother... what brings you here though?" Pa asked.

"I have become a journalist, my boss has decided to send me to Saint Petersburg to attend the convention and prove my skills... it is a hard world indeed..." Ink replied

"You're absolutely right. Do you want to join me, my brother and his assistant for lunch?"
