Flowers don't smell like old socks. You are a city person. You are afraid of air.
This is not air, this is great danger. The train is old and the air is tired. No, this is a bioweapon, prohibited by law.
You watch too much bad news. And it's in your bag, I know that. My bag has food and socks.
Your food is alive and angry. It's just old cheese. It looks strong and scary.
Okay, I'll spray deodorant on my bag. Oh no, stop. They're throwing us out.
Quiet, it smells so much like flowers. Or it smells like flowers and fire. That's even better than old cheese.
Not for people in this car. Open the window. Get some fresh air.
The air runs away with fear. I'm looking in my bag now. Be careful and perhaps wear gloves.
Look, cheese and bread. No monster. The cheese is looking at me.
