The two meet stuck in an escalator which seems infinite. Everybody walks a certain way, some stroll, some fast, and some even stop constantly either lost or contemplative. For Ratel, it says a lot about people and this is something that crosses her mind a lot. While she walks up an endless stairway, she stops and meets someone who makes her doubt how she perceives the world.
