~¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ (situation) ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨~
-~¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨~-
†-~¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨~-
