I knew what this situation I was in meant and what I had to do. Everything went quiet in my head. I closed out all the sounds around me as I waited for the moment the doors would close. After a while the train let out a warning sound, signaling that it was about to leave.
I got ready and paid close attention. As soon as I saw the doors begin to close, I quickly bolted and slipped past them and went on to the platform.
I turned to look back at the train to which I found people from my car staring at me as if I were crazy. The train started moving and as I watched, found khaladhini from the train car behind eyeing me aswell. He was standing in the middle of the compartment.
Now if I had been overreacting before, right now, in this moment confirmed more than anything that they had in fact been following me this whole time. As the train started moving, never losing eye contact with me, I saw him take a phone out of his pocket and start speaking into to it.
