You stare at it in surprise for a moment before you notice that it's turning to look in your direction. Quickly, you duck your head back into the cabin, hoping that it didn't see you. A few moments pass before you allow yourself to relax; if it had seen you, it would have been slamming at your door right now. Of course, it's just a Shadow, generally accepted to be the weakest of the Fiends that have manifested so far, though 'weakest' in this sense means that a person who has a decent amount of skill in combat can defeat one in a fair fight.

Of course, what worries you more than the Shadow is that you can't contact Morgan right now and find out what's happening on the train. And if there's one Shadow onboard right now, that definitely means that there are more Shadows. You need to get out of here and find her so that you can find out what happened here.

Still, in order to do that, you have to take care of the Shadow first. And judging from the noises that the Shadow makes every time it moves, it isn't very far from you. To top it off, you'd probably have to finish it off quietly so that you don't alert any other Shadow that might be in the same car as you.
