Colton's Quest Proof of Concept

"Hey. Raccoon."

For a moment there, you just about forgot where you were. You don't make it a habit to sleep on trains, as comfy as the seats are. Not to say you've been sleeping too great; every inch closer to Apricot Bay feels like a mistake, and your stomach won't let you forget it.

You look up. An ermine in a brown coat and slacks towers over your seat, staring at you through big, round glasses.

"Are we getting close to Apricot Bay?"

> Don't say a word.

> "I—yeah. We're getting close. I think."

> "—I'm sorry. I don't know."
