The gear train halted at a desolate and silent station platform.
The doors slowly opened.
And then noisy chatter spilled out from the carriage.
"Ah, my salary isn't enough this month."
"What do you want to swap for now?"
"I want a new Mechanical Shoulder, the one that came out three days ago, you should know the model."
"I think I should, but isn't that model pretty much the same as the one you have now? Other than glowing in the night, it doesn't have any other effects, right?"
"What are you talking about? Isn't glowing enough? Just think, in the streets without night illumination, by taking off your top, you can glow yourself."
"Ah, well that's true… Damn it, now you've got me wanting to swap too, but I just replaced my leg parts last week…"
Gerard stepped out of the carriage, and the doors closed slowly behind him, shutting out most of the clamor; only a muffled noise still leaked through.
"You're switching stuff out pretty fast…"
