There is a particular comfort in a train with no destination that matters. This is a slow ride through small stations after dark: platforms lit by a single lamp, a soft whistle drifting down the line, the gentle sway of a car that has nowhere urgent to be. No plot to follow, no stop to prepare for, just steady rhythm and quiet windows passing by. Unhurried, softly paced, built to carry you toward sleep before the next station arrives.
