Aurora was in what used to be the Fat Controller's office, looking through the file cabinet rather diligently, when she heard an unfamiliar whistle. Looking out the window, she saw a purple and gold tank engine sitting at the platform.

"Well, here comes trouble," Aurora said as she stepped out of the office.

"Excuse me?" Lady said, somewhat bewildered.

"Ain't you Lady?" said Aurora.

"Well, yes," Lady replied.

"I've heard about you. Didn't shit go down the last time you showed up? And the time before that, and the time before that?" Aurora said pointedly.

For a moment, Lady gaped at her. "I hope you're not accusing me of causing trouble! I would never!" she said.

"I ain't blaming you, it's just from everything I've heard, you only show up when shit's about to hit the fan," said Aurora.

"Well, I can sense when something is amiss," said Lady.

"This railway don't need no more trouble," Aurora said with a sigh.

"Excuse me miss, but where's Lorelei?" Burnett asked.

"She's out with Daniella. They had to go drag more engines to the scrapyard. If you wanna talk to them, I suggest waiting at the Dieselworks, cuz once they return, they gotta take a dead one outta there," said Aurora.

"Oh my goodness!" Lady exclaimed.

"Yeah…one of Paxton's brothers," said Aurora.

"Oh dear," Lady said quietly.

"Well, thank you miss," Burnett said, and at that, they left.

A short while later, Lady puffed into the Dieselworks. She briefly laid eyes on the covered-up remains of Denny, and quickly looked away. However, she ended up looking right at Daniel, and let out a sharp gasp. "Who are you?" she said.

When the blind warship didn't answer, Lady inched closer to him. "Excuse me…are you alive?" she said shakily.

"Huh?!" Daniel said, waking with a start.

"Oh, I'm sorry; I thought you might be…" Lady trailed off. Daniel's faded; unmoving eyes were unsettling to say the least.

"You sound familiar. My name's Daniel. What's yours?" the blind engine asked.

"D-Daniel?" Lady stammered. She remembered, long ago, when her brakes failed and she was out of control. As she approached a bend, a big diesel pulling a heavy freight train was heading straight for her. She remembered seeing it come off the tracks, and hearing its pained screams. She had felt awful, being unable to help at all due to her predicament.

Lady hadn't known at the time who that engine was, nor did she think that his accident would cause another engine to seek revenge on her for years. However, she had felt guilty about Daniel's accident ever since it happened. Now, she truly felt terrible.

Lady backed out of the main shed, and broke down crying. Daniel had been suffering for years, blinded and unable to move. What had happened to him was basically a fate worse than death. If her brakes hadn't failed that day, Daniel would probably be alright, and Diesel 10 would have never gone insane. "I…oh god…I'm the bad guy…" Lady sobbed miserably.

Diesel 10, who had been resting in his shed, came out to see what all the commotion was. He was surprised to see Lady sitting right outside, crying her eyes out. However, before he could say anything, Lady looked up at him, and became even more distraught.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry…it's all my fault! I—I never wanted this—Daniel—it's my fault—I was the bad guy all along—I'm so sorry—I'm so sorry!" Lady sobbed.

Diesel 10 rolled his eyes. "Look, what happened…Dani was right. It wasn't your fault," he said.

Lady, however, wouldn't calm down no matter what was said to her. Wracked with guilt, she remained where she was, not daring to look at Diesel 10. Then, unexpectedly, the big diesel rolled up to her and planted a kiss on her forehead.

There was quite an awkward silence as everyone, including Daniella, who had just returned from the Other Railway, stared at him. Realizing what he had just done, Diesel 10 quickly retreated into his shed. He was thoroughly embarrassed, to say the least. Lady, on the other hand, was utterly stunned.

"What the fuck was that about?!" Daniella exclaimed.

"I…don't know," said Lady.

"Hmm…I know I wouldn't mind if a certain clawed warship did that to me," Dennis murmured.

"Really?!" Daniella said as she was coupled up to what was left of Denny.

"Well, um, perhaps not here in front of everyone…um…maybe back at the scrapyard…" Dennis trailed off.

"Oh, yes, because making out amongst a bunch of dead and dying engines is such a perfect setting for a night out," Daniella said sarcastically.

"Well…er…maybe not like that…" Dennis said awkwardly.

"Sure, Dennis, that would be fucking beautiful. Let's lock lips and gaze at the stars and ignore the fucking death that surrounds us!" Daniella said caustically. Without another word, she left.

"Aww…" Dennis groaned, deflated. "I thought she liked me…" he said, looking down.

"I think she's simply in a bad mood," said Norman.

Inside the main shed, the workmen had finally given up on Arry. No matter what they did, he wouldn't get any better, despite having quite a few old parts replaced. There simply was no logical reason as to why he still was ill.

"Arry?" Dart said to him.

Arry looked away, his face twisted into a pained scowl.

"Oh…what's the matter with him?" Dart said sadly.

"I think, um, I mean…he doesn't want to go on," said Den.

At that, Arry looked at Den almost pleadingly. Den and Dart didn't know what to do at this point.

Lady, who had gotten over her initial shock, puffed inside and took another look at Daniel,. "Excuse me," she said quietly, "I'm sorry for everything…I'm that engine you braked to avoid…I only wish this hadn't happened to you."

To her surprise, Daniel smiled. "It could have happened to anyone," he said.

"You don't have to forgive me," Lady said, looking down.

"It's no one's fault…besides…" Daniel paused, then said, "Don't tell Diesel 10 this…I don't think he'll take it well…but he'll find out…I…think my time is coming…"

"Daniel!" Lady exclaimed quietly, seeing that Diesel 10 was emerging from his shed once more.

"I just don't want him to lose his mind…I'm too far gone. I'm just glad I…he got to see me again…and Dani," said Daniel.

"He's right there!" Lady said quietly.

Daniel cringed. "Aw crap…well, he's gonna find out," he said.

Diesel 10 didn't want to believe it. He had just found out that Daniel had been alive this whole time, and now he was going to lose his twin for good. He would do anything to keep him around, anything at all. Yet, Daniel was most certainly damaged beyond repair.
