You wake up slowly with a frightful headache to vaguely familiar surroundings. There is a loud and curiously soothing swishing noise in your ear. After a while you realise that you are on a train, and that the noise you can hear is your watch as you prop up your head. You are lying on an entire seat and feel lousy.
Slowly you sit up and look around you. As you do so, someone badtemperedly occupies the half of the seat you just vacated. You can remember next to nothing about yourself and how you came to be where you are. It is a disturbing feeling. There are various people around, but most of them are showing a deliberate lack of interest in you. I imagine you are an unattractive sight.
