¤¤=†--¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨--†=¤¤@

¤=†--¨¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨--†=¤¤@#

¤¤=†--¨¨¨¨ the industrial buildings, the urban ¨¨¨¨--†=¤¤

†--¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨--†
--¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ the tracks leave the ground, which is ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨--

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨--†
