As Amber shouts at the boy she can see down the front
of the train station.  The blue planks of the
platform, as well as the empty train tracks to her
right, trail off into the distance.  Above her, held
up by posts, going down the edge of the platform, is a
roof that is feebly attempting to provide shade to
those standing on the platform.  Now, the shade is
mostly provided to the front of the station building.

The number of people at the station is growing very
quickly.  The boy is soon lost in the crowd.

Through the multitude she can see that the the station
goes down about fifty feet.  On the near and far
corners are very large poofy couches.  The far couch
has several thirteen or fourteen year old boys leaning
and jumping on it.  On the near couch sits a very
pudgy man with a round face and very short hair.

The front of the train station has three large
windows.  There is a line of people in front of each
of them.  The farthest one has the shortest line of
people, while the middle one has by far the longest
line of people, and these people seemed to really want
something that is there.  In this line parents are
standing quietly while many of the children are
jumping up and down.

Beyond the third window she sees what looks like a
very tall and wide opening.  Puffs of green smoke and
streams of people are constantly coming out of it.
