Now on the rail, Sleepless looks onto the window, daydreaming of things as the atmospheres change from a luxury city to a natural landscape with some mountain ranges far away, while on the opposite seat, there is this guy — he came to sit there, and stayed for a bit, he had a bag with him: a medium sized bag, and out of the sudden, he took a — out of all things, a slab of cheese- Yes, you read that right, that guy, took a goddamn cheese slab out of his bag, and began eating it slowly, so slow that you can sleep for some time and expect him not to be done, and even worse, he took a plate out of an another bag, complete with a knife and fork, and put it on the train table: he's eating a cheese slab as a meal. Very odd, but respectable priorities, really respect his bucket list to do this.

"Yes, I saw him eating a brick of cheese, people are weird; especially on trains, I heard." Sleepless may could have seen the reflection on the window, "But anyways, since it's been some time after we left the station, I'd like to tell you a story about an incident I had about, something years ago, maybe two or three years ago." She then tells a story about an encounter with a girl named Connie who came to her and asked if she can find her sister, which she accepted for no clear reason, but certainly not to experiment on her.

But then, she still accepted her request; Connie took her to a field outside the walls of Majuminister, "What do you want me to do, use my wand?", Sleepless asks Connie.

"Do as you please."

"...Alright." She then points her wand down to the ground, which opens a portal, why? Both cannot tell, especially Sleepless, which came along with a confused look on her face, Connie however, is much more stoic than her.

"Go on." Connie says — giving Sleepless a green light onto the portal, and upon entering, her sight is flashed: white light, going all over to blind her sight, and then she finds herself lying in a state similar to being pushed with force, and the world's colors are inverted: The grass is purple-ish, and the sky turned blue.

Sleepless gets up from the ground, brushing her dress but her hat is missing, but what matters the most is a woman, sitting on the floor, staring at a blank canvas.

"Hello?"

The woman replies with silence, only to reply much later, "The more I look at it, the less I see, but the more I like it." She says in a quiet, somber voice, "I spent so much doing other things like painting, playing games, talking to other friends, write mindless nonsense like what you might be reading, and playing games about painting only to check up on this nothing of a piece to see if I still like it, and I still do."

"..what?" Sleepless answers confusedly, "Come on, your sister brought me in here, and-" She suddenly disappears right away, Without any sign of her appearing in the inverted world, she turns around to enter the portal, and it's still there.

"And then I came back and found out that her name is Lizzy, and both seemed to disappear without a trace." Sleepless concludes the story, and surprisingly, Greg seems to have a strong patience to listen to all the ramblings she came up with.

Suddenly someone came up to the seat that they're sitting on, "Can I sit here?" he said.

"What? No, did you get in here without a-" Sleepless then notices his tail, "That's cute, I'll let that pass, C'mere, big boy."

He seems quite young, but seems to be quite somewhat young, maybe a teenager, and he's got cat ears — Cat people exists, apparently, and he's got cat ears.

"What's your name, boy?"

"Hollis."

"That's a nice name, although that's a bit girly."

"...Thanks."

Hollis then looks to Greg, "Nice suit, though.", and Greg accepts his compliment with still silence, "His name is Greg." Sleepless informs Hollis of the guy with the nice suit's the most basic name known to man, "Anyways, can I pet you?"
