Parallel play was invented in trains, I mean they are so nice to be on, all at once you can watch a movie while one lady reads a book, 4 drunk people discuss the nature of the universe, a boy plays a ds game, some idiot gets work finished and a 17 year kills a demon, the variety of activities in one space help to contribute to the calming atmosphere of a train, it manages to intrest and provide atmosphere without being overstimulating.
Warning: this is not a scientific claim however and is just what I feel makes trains cool
I think my favorite thing about this is that "a boy plays a ds game" and "a 17 year old kills a demon" are listed separately, implying that the 17 year old is not playing a game and that the demon is not fictional but literal.
Headcanon: amtrak-official once rode the same train as Buffy.
I’ve riden a lot of trains in my day, how would I remember the names of every 17 year whose killed a demon on the same train as me, I have had it happen at minimum like 7 times, maybe more
