"It is him!"

"I never thought we'd run into you here, sir!"

The other survivors started expressing their surprise and gratitude too.

Adrian sat down and addressed them, "Relax, everyone. Are you all okay? What are your names?"

The long-haired woman who spoke first stood up and introduced herself. "I'm Elise Dubois. I was a train conductor.”

The short-haired woman next to her said, "I'm Mathilde Russel, her co-conductor."

The four men introduced themselves as well.

"I'm Lucienne Moreau, a security guard at the station."

"Theo Deschamps. I worked at the ticket counter."

"I'm Laurent Blanchard, and I was also a security guard."

"Me too. The name’s Maxime Durand."

Adrian nodded and remembered their names. "I'm glad you're all alive. We're currently headed to Drogoton. There are many soldiers guarding the city and they’ve also put up defensive walls. You'll all be safe there.”

"Thank you, Sir Draco. We would've starved to death in there if it weren't for you,” said Elise.
