"Don't worry about me." She said, fake smiling. She stood up, and started walking towards the train car. She gripped her arms, digging her fingernails in a bit.

Terrance watched her go, but was hesitant to move.

Jenny stood there awkwardly for a moment. Should she leave too? She didn’t want to leave Terrance alone. She settled for walking very slowly back towards their group, trying to see if he was following or not.

He stood up, but instead of following Elsie, he approached a window, looking out at the ground rushing by.

Elsie started to lose her weak grip on her emotions. She started phasing in and out of view, until eventually she just seemed to blink out of existence.

Elsie felt cold as she walked back into the train car. She didn't know she was invisible, and plopped down into her seat, head buried in her hands as she sobbed quietly. No one would have been able to hear her.

Eventually, Terrance returned to their car. "Where's Elsie?" he asked as soon as he entered, noting her apparent absence.

She just sobbed harder, assuming that was just him ignoring her more blatantly.

Terrance thought for a moment, and then he knew. He knew because it was exactly what he had done just minutes ago. "Elsie, I can't see you."

Terrance continued, not able to hear her outburst. "It's okay. It can happen sometimes when emotions get too strong, and you need to hide."

Elsie looked at him. "How is this ok?" She asked, still invisible and inaudible. "I'M FREAKING DEAD! I'M A HECKING GHOST!"
