((Click--the sounds of a train, ratta-ta-ttle, ratta-ta-ttle, ratta-ta-ttle... No other sounds at first, no other anything at first. Nothing.

Then, quietly, a child's voice...singing...))

Butterflies, butterflies...

((A low thrumming hum: inhuman but not mechanical and certainly not animal. Thrumming hum hum thrum, low.

Maria...?

[Penny has the sneaking, sickening suspicion that the little girl isn't going to answer. Still, it's worth a try.]

Hello?

[agoodchild]

[Alas, you are correct: she isn't going to answer...]

[freckleddoll]

[There's a lot she means to say, to tell Maria she shouldn't be apologizing, that she's anything but a bad girl...

But then those sounds send a shiver up Doll's back and make the bile rise in her throat and she simply

cannot deal

with hearing another child get hurt and being unable to do a thing to help.]

[agoodchild]

[It's all right, Doll. She's going to go to the Golden Land. ...maybe...]

[makinghoscroak]

Fun stuff.

[agoodchild]

[She's dead. And not wrapped in plastic.]

Maria!! Maria, answer me, are you okay?

...crap, crap...please don't be dead...

...Crap...what compartment is she in...? Maybe it's not too late...

[agoodchild]

[She had been in Car 7--and her remains still are.]

[manofgnee]

[Time to investigate!]

[hidesinrestroom]

Maria..?!

[agoodchild]

[Death comes for the Ushiromiyas.]
