Karin knew it wasn't necessarily right to leave her best friend alone while she was so vulnerable, but Izzy had insisted Jasper sit with on the train, and therefore as Karin slipped out of the compartment and closed the sliding door behind her, she didn't feel all that guilty. Not that she'd told Izzy where she was going, of course. That would be a great conversation - "I'm just going to hex the shit out of your ex-not-quite-boyfriend, see you in a minute!" Smiling slightly, Karin looked in both directions along the train, and then headed off to her right.
The sound of her stilettos muffled by the old-fashioned carpet, Karin peered into each compartment as she passed, waving and smiling at friends that she hadn't seen all summer. She didn't see Nick though, and pressed on down the corridor, planning out exactly what she'd say to him when she found him. He was in for a right earful, that was for sure. He probably wouldn't just stand and take it, though, but Karin reckoned she could handle whatever he threw at her.
Getting near the end of the train now, Karin expertly dodged a second year who ran past. There was still no sign of Nick. It was possible he'd fallen in front of the train just as it pulled away, but that was probably just wishful thinking on her part.
