A train station at night is a particular kind of place.

The light is wrong. Fluorescent. It flattens everything. The platforms are long and empty except for one or two people who shouldn't be standing still like that.

I worked British Transport Police. I learned to read decisions in how someone stands. Not what they're saying. Before they say anything.

This episode is about what happens when the frameworks you've learned for reading language break down completely. When someone isn't managing information. When someone is drowning.

And what it costs to listen to that sound night after night.
