“WHAT IF IT was actually some freak accident?” was there ever a wrong time to try and look on the brightest side possible? probably. he’s kind of combating logic here, but it might be worth it for the possibility of defusing some tension (or rather swapping it for a different kind).

Enoch stood at the window of the dining carriage, watching the breathtaking landscape rush by outside. His intention had been to keep interaction with the other passengers to a minimum, whilst maximising his reading and window-staring time. It was not that he particularly hated anyone else on board. Not yet, anyway. He simply had little desire to employ the mental effort required to keep up an extended conversation. And now he was forced to wait in the dining car with everyone he was trying to avoid. He also had little desire to be caught up in a murder investigation when he had gone on holiday to specifically take a break from that kind of thing. And now, he was at the very centre of one. What luck.
