The last time Kevin had ridden a Zap train was nearly ten months ago when his class was visiting the Harrison Industrial and Technological Museum in Olympus. He could still vividly recall how excited Suzy was and how Ms. Parker was worried that it would start raining as soon as they got off.
Except for Suzy, all his other friends were dead now. Kevin wondered if any of their families had survived or if every person in Aurus had met the same grim fate.
"Kev, are you sure you wanna do this?" Suzy's query brought Kevin back to his present reality.
"I'm sure. I can't turn back now," Kevin replied without hesitation.
Suzy knew there was no way to reason with Kevin once he had made up his mind about something. He was the most stubborn guy she knew. In the end, she conceded to him and took her seat in front of the central control panel.
