So, Thomas is all proud and shit about his branch line, and his coaches(who are undoubtedly the red rum twins from The Shining) are old and saggy but they care about Thomas and vice versa. I'm not joking. Despite their demonic tendencies, the Annabelle coaches never get upset with Thomas because they knew he's a literal and metaphorical manchild.
Anyway, Thomas is gettin' all huffy because Henry's running late. And when he does show up, Tom's like, "What the hell took you so long?"
And Henry's like, "Sorry, Man. I woke up with explosive diarrhea this morning, and I was stuck on the toilet for two hours."
"Well, maybe if you'd eat right and exercise more, you wouldn't have so many problems, yeah?"
"But it's not my fault! My old sugar daddy used to force junk food down my throat, and it fucked up my entire immune system! I've been trying to lose weight and get healthier ever since I got here, but nothing seems to work and no one even cares! My insides have been maliciously twisted, and the only way I can numb the pain is with drugs and booze…just like I did with my old boss…"
Sooo, Henry breaks down crying and Thomas gets the fuck outta there, but he was so captivated by Henry's sob story that he forgot to let the conductor on the train. The red rum coaches try to tell him what happened, but Tom won't listen because he's too busy thinking about what it must've been like to live Henry's old life.
It's not until they come to a red signal that Thomas realizes there's no conductor, and he's like, "What happened to the conductor, ya dumb whores? Did you kill him to scare some autistic child again?"
And they're like, "No, dickhead! You left him behind when you were too busy crying on the inside for Henry!"
But then, the conductor comes down the line at Sonic speed(gotta go fast), and he's totally outta breath.
And Thomas is like, "Whoa, sorry! I didn't mean to leave you back there! I was just…distracted…"
And the conductor's like, "Hey, don't worry about it. Henry guilt tricks all of us with his back story."
