Wendy and Carla finished going on a mission and gotten on a train heading back to Fiore Kingdom were her Guild is located. They might arrived to the Kingdom very late at night since it's a long way back. The train was almost empty, the only people inside is Wendy and Carla.
Wendy: "Hope we get back home very soon."
Carla: "Same here, it's a bothersome that we're the only ones here."
Wendy: "Yeah, but at least we have each other."
Wendy smiled.
Carla: "Indeed."
Said Carla, as she smiled back.
When it got dark, the train stopped for a few minutes, and three tough looking men got on and are about to sit next to Wendy and Carla on the opposite side of the train car. Two of them were holding up the third, who looked drunk. His head rolled from side to side, and his legs refused to work. When they got him seated between them, his head came to rest on one of his shoulders. Wendy and Carla thought he was staring at them. Wendy and Carla pretended not to noticed. When the train made another stop, one of the men stood up.
Man #1: "Take it easy Erigor."
He said to the man in the middle (who is now identified as Erigor), and he got off. When the train made a third stop, Erigor's other friend stood up.
Man #2: "You'll be fine."
He said, and he got off. Now the only people left inside the car is Wendy, Carla, and the middle man, Erigor. Just as the train went around a sharp curve, Erigor fell to the floor next to Wendy and Carla. When they looked down at him, they saw a trickled of blood on the side of his head, just above it, a stab wound.
