It’s an age old problem. The commute, the daily grind, the same old faces not offering so much as a smile. For Derek, it’s an evening train ride home like any other. Apart from one thing. That girl on her phone. Talking loudly in the quiet carriage. Derek wonders - doesn’t she know what she’s doing? Doesn’t she care? Of course not. She’s not one of us. If she were part of our tribe, she’d know there are rules that have to be followed.
