##¨#¨##¨#¨ #¨¨¨¨#¨¨¨¨
¨####¨###¨ you find yourself in a rift - a #¨¨¨##¨¨¨#
#¨¨¨##¨¨## clearing, narrow but immeasurably long. #¨¨#¨#¨¨##
#¨¨#¨#¨#¨# to your sides are walls made of trees, #¨####¨#¨¨
#¨#######¨ thick and ready to swallow you. the sun ##¨¨¨###¨#
##¨¨¨¨¨¨#¨ is nowhere to be seen, but nontheless ¨#¨¨#¨¨##¨
¨#¨¨¨¨¨### it is very bright - the air feels light ##¨##¨#¨##
##¨¨¨¨#¨¨¨ blue, almost white. ¨##¨####¨#
¨#¨¨¨##¨¨¨ #¨##¨¨¨##¨
##¨¨#¨#¨¨¨ along the span of the clearing lay two ##¨#¨¨#¨#¨
¨#¨####¨¨# parallel silvery lines, dark hard ¨###¨#####
###¨¨¨#¨## metal. somehow you can see how heavy #¨¨##¨¨¨¨#
¨¨#¨¨###¨# they are. #¨#¨#¨¨¨#¨
¨##¨#¨¨### #####¨¨##¨
#¨###¨#¨¨¨ they emit a high pitched whine... ¨¨¨¨#¨#¨#¨

#¨¨¨¨#¨¨¨# youre at the train station, on a #¨#¨¨#¨¨¨¨
#¨¨¨##¨¨## catwalk above the rails. your train is ###¨##¨¨¨#
#¨¨#¨#¨#¨¨ late, or you are late to the train. ¨¨##¨#¨¨#¨
#¨######¨# it's a summer afternoon and the station ¨#¨###¨###
##¨¨¨¨¨### is busy, full of relaxed confidence. ###¨¨##¨¨¨
¨#¨¨¨¨#¨¨¨ ¨¨#¨#¨#¨¨#
##¨¨¨##¨¨# you're in high spirits, although a bit ¨######¨##
¨#¨¨#¨#¨#¨ stressed about the time, while moving #¨¨¨¨¨##¨¨
##¨####### up the stairs to your platform. the #¨¨¨¨#¨#¨¨
¨##¨¨¨¨¨¨# station is in several levels, all #¨¨¨####¨#
#¨#¨¨¨¨¨#¨ placed within eachother by some #¨¨#¨¨¨###
###¨¨¨¨##¨ intelligent designer, and full of #¨##¨¨#¨¨¨
¨¨#¨¨¨#¨## stairs, elevators, shortcuts, ##¨#¨##¨¨#
¨##¨¨###¨# bazaars... you sight your train through ¨####¨#¨##
#¨#¨#¨¨##¨ some glass windows. it's... not where #¨¨¨####¨#
#####¨#¨## it's supposed to be? #¨¨#¨¨¨##¨

¨¨#¨¨¨¨#¨# you're finally entering the city. while ¨¨#¨####¨¨
¨##¨¨¨#### it is indeed a very high speed train ¨###¨¨¨#¨¨
#¨#¨¨#¨¨¨# you're traveling in, the journey has #¨¨#¨¨##¨¨
###¨##¨¨#¨ been long. but it's about to end! #¨##¨#¨#¨#
¨¨##¨#¨##¨ ##¨######¨
¨#¨####¨#¨ society is growing denser around you, ¨##¨¨¨¨¨#¨
###¨¨¨###¨ through the windows you see first small #¨#¨¨¨¨##¨
¨¨#¨¨#¨¨## shacks, built of metal and stone, then ###¨¨¨#¨##
¨##¨##¨#¨¨ proper houses with mortar to keep them ¨¨#¨¨###¨#
#¨##¨###¨# together... who in turn make way for ¨##¨#¨¨###
##¨##¨¨##¨ the industrial buildings, the urban #¨###¨#¨¨¨
¨##¨#¨#¨## maze, protective walls, jungle ##¨¨###¨¨#
#¨######¨¨ network... ¨#¨#¨¨#¨##
##¨¨¨¨¨#¨# ####¨###¨¨
¨#¨¨¨¨###¨ the tracks leave the ground, which is ¨¨¨##¨¨#¨#
##¨¨¨#¨¨#¨ needed for other purposes. you are ¨¨#¨#¨####
¨#¨¨##¨##¨ carried gently, curving upwards until ¨#####¨¨¨¨
##¨#¨##¨#¨ you're moving upward along the wall of #¨¨¨¨#¨¨¨¨
¨####¨###¨ a building. it's made of slabby stone, #¨¨¨##¨¨¨#
#¨¨¨##¨¨## with great glassless window holes #¨¨#¨#¨¨##
#¨¨#¨#¨#¨# looking out the way you came. it is #¨####¨#¨¨
#¨#######¨ pitch black inside. ##¨¨¨###¨#
