You're in the woods You don't know how you got there, you are standing on a rail platform, a frog man is laying in the only bench, you can hear the train coming, the clock reads 13:67, there are 53 trains that come hourly according to the schedule board, and if you look up you can see the stars, in your pocket lies 7 golden coins. What do you do?

You go over to the edge of the platform and sit down, you look up at the stars, the frog man gets up and starts sitting with you, he smiles, his mustache on full display, he starts to talk to you:

"Hey, do you ever wonder what it's like, up there, beyond the confides of life and death, capitalism and war, a world free from it, I wonder what it's like, beyond this world, I have hope, do you"

A star shoots by and you can hear the train still, its getting louder

I tell him I try to have hope, and ask which train he's taking

He Looks at you for a moment before saying

“Yeah, so do I, there are numerous worlds out there, and why can’t there be a world free from suffering as well, if there’s vastness and an infinite time span, I don’t see why things can’t be better somewhere”

You smile at him and smiles back, he takes his hat off. You ask what train he’s riding and he says

“I really don’t know why I’m here, much like you I presume, but I hope to catch the next train out of this place, after a few days the decay gets to you, it’s nice to have company”

The train gets louder
