Toni glared at what form of the massive Rue she could see. It stared back at her; she could feel that much. The Rue wasn't going to listen to her, least of all given the tone she had taken with it. The force of its will squeezed and pressed in, so much so that Toni grew numb to the whirling sensations from outside of the train. To her, the whole world might have been compressed into the car, and it was growing smaller, tighter. For the lapse of seconds the feeling held, her sense of the Rue was accompanied by a wave claustrophobia. If she couldn't pull herself out, she knew, she wouldn't hold out much longer. 

The space grow dark. Toni's breath struggled. 

And then...

Pain. 

A shredding, piercing pain streaked through her right arm. It burned like the heat of a gunshot. She knew the feeling; she had felt it back on the platform. 

The pain was proceeded by a steadying of her breathing. Her vision returned. It was like almost fainting but coming to at the last second. 

The Rue seemed to have fled. Yiya's body lay unmoving on the floor. Toni, hanging in a state of confusion, registered Sasha rushing to their client's side. Though uneasily, Toni moved hastily to join Sasha. [color=fdc68a]"We need to dress her wounds... uh... apply pressure to stop the blee--"[/color]

Toni cut herself off. The resurgent stimulation of the Rue within the train had ripped her from her thought. She turned to the back of the car. Someone else that Toni hadn't seen at the station stood, frozen still in the aisle;  shadowy mist was amassed behind her. [color=fdc68a]"It's here."[/color] Her senses told her that the presence she felt was emanating from where the newcomer was standing. Toni looked at her, fighting to stay composed. [color=fdc68a]"The Rue is in here. I feel it. It's threatening you, isn't it? What does it want?"[/color]
