Right, so that little stopover at the shop didn't go so well. He was hungry, tired and his ears still hurt from that Selphie girl's screaming. To top it all off, he was lost.
Talking with some of the locals yielded bits of random information like, there were hotels at which he could stay the night, there was a library somewhere, this was the lower class part of the city... but nothing really useful that could help him understand the place, except that it was called Paixao. As soon as he'd started asking about their lives there and how they ended up at the place, they would withdraw and become silent. He did find out that there was a train station somewhere around, though, and spent the next half of the day searching for it.
By the time Ichigo found the station, it was dark, and there was nobody around, save for a couple of people at another end of the platform, and a man sitting in a dimly lit little office, which he assumed to be the ticketing booth of sorts. Handing over whatever money he had, he was surprised to find that it was accepted without question, and was given a ticket and some change in currencies he'd never seen before. Making his way over to one of the benches beside the platform, he sat down heavily, and waited. Ichigo didn't know how much time had passed before a train roared through the station, jolting him out of his half-asleep state just long enough for him to clamber on and settle again in one of the uncomfortable plastic seats. Despite wanting to think things out, he was asleep again even before the train started to move out of the station, but it didn't really matter which way he was going, as long as he ended up somewhere.
He was woken up again half an hour later by the same naggy feeling that had been bugging him all day, but this time there was something else along with it, and it was oddly familiar...
There were Hollows in this place?
