And she was not the only one (to hear the shot. Nor to get off and on the train). Relena Atridea remained alert. As if to say that she was completely fed up with beatings and shootings. She thought of turning back, but saw other railway travelers think of turning forward. Therefore, she crawled under the train's belly. |

Just in time to see Relena Atridea roll down from the other side and climb a car in the front, her legs at an acute angle. |
