Entering the room, Ginger and Will were met with an unsettling emptiness. Not a soul remained, not even the group that had entered before them. Alerting Remy, they maintained a watchful eye on their surroundings, awaiting the arrival of their teammates. By the time the backup team joined them, the once bustling crowd had mysteriously dispersed, allowing for an easy reunion.
As they stepped into the room, a sudden shift in space jolted their senses. The atmosphere warped around them, transporting them to an inexplicably strange location. To their astonishment, they found themselves in an identical replica of the office, where the station employees appeared to be sound asleep, mirroring the interactions of the previous group. The room was filled with hushed discussions about the situation at hand.
Curiosity tugged at Ginger's instincts, leading him to explore the room further in search of answers. At the far end, he discovered a young girl, her black hair cascading down her back as she hugged her knees. Dressed in a simple blue gown, she exuded an air of fear and confusion. Ginger approached her gently, trying to soothe her apprehension.
"Are you okay?" Ginger asked, his voice filled with empathy.
"What is this place?" she whispered, her eyes darting around in fear.
"Do you have any idea how or when this all started?" Ginger inquired, hoping for any clue that could shed light on their predicament.
The girl shook her head, her voice barely audible. "I was just watching the event, and then everything became distorted. I don't know what's happening."
"Alright, try to stay calm for now. Would you like a drink to ease your nerves?" Ginger offered, attempting to provide some comfort in the midst of uncertainty.
"Yes, tea, please," she replied, her voice tinged with vulnerability.
"I'll be back in no time," Ginger assured her, his gaze filled with determination.
Leaving the girl momentarily, Ginger sought out his brother, Remy, to share the presence of the mysterious girl. Deep in thought, Remy revealed that there might be a possible way out, but further exploration was necessary. With that, Remy entrusted Ginger with the girl's safety and the watchful assistance of the other train station employee.
Returning to the girl, Ginger prepared a cup of tea and invited her to sit at the table. He repositioned the employees to facilitate a swift evacuation if needed. Once settled, Ginger joined her, seeking to establish a sense of trust and understanding.
"What is your name?" Ginger asked, his voice kind and reassuring.
"I'm Ann," she replied softly, her eyes filled with a mix of curiosity and apprehension.
"Hello, Ann. I know you must be feeling overwhelmed. My brother and our team are doing everything we can to find an exit," Ginger comforted her, his words infused with determination.
"You won't find one. I've searched everywhere," Ann interjected, her voice filled with despair.
Ginger's gaze met hers, a glimmer of hope shining through. "You see, our team specializes in extraordinary solutions. We don't give up easily."
Ann nodded, her expression a mix of skepticism and curiosity. "I've never told anyone, but I have this strange feeling that something terrible is going to happen. I can't explain it, but it led me here."
Ginger's intrigue grew as he listened intently. "Your intuition might hold the key to our predicament, Ann. Perhaps your presence here is not a mere coincidence but a vital piece of the puzzle."
Ann's eyes widened, a flicker of hope emerging within her. "You think so?"
Ginger nodded, his determination unwavering. "I believe that each person has a role to play in the grand scheme of things. Your ability to sense impending danger could be the guiding light we need to navigate through this treacherous situation."
Ann hesitated for a moment, contemplating the weight of Ginger's words. "If my intuition can truly help, then I'm willing to do whatever it takes. I don't want anyone else to suffer because of this."
Ginger smiled warmly, grateful for Ann's willingness to step up. "Thank you, Ann. Together, we'll find a way out of here and ensure the safety of everyone involved."
