Field guide No. 262
Fog in the quiet car
It isn't talking to anyone.
In an empty old railway carriage with red velvet seats, a soft bank of fog sits in one seat by a misted window. It got on two stops ago and hasn't said a word.
Field noteFog that keeps to one seat ignores diffusion. Polite passengers do exist, if rarely.
Also possible, also breaking physics
