The first thing Chatterbox sees after waking up is the fire around them and then the smok stinging his nose. He lets out a few coughs and pushes away the broken seat lying on top o his body.

He's alive. He's actually alive. He feels delighted in his heart.

"Boom!" a loud sound numbs his ears. He turns around and sees that one of the train cart has exploded into pieces. He quickly gets up from the ground in fright. The sound of the explosion continues. Even if he doesn't die this second, he might in the next.

The moment he raises his head, he sees Cold Face lying on the control cabin's dashboard.

His head is covered with blood and he's not moving. Chatterbox recalls that just seconds before he fainted, Cold Face was still maneuvering the train.

Chatterbox feels cold sweat all over his body, but regardless of whether or not Cold Face is alive, he picks him up and drags him out of the cabin.

F-k! He's stuck!

The control cabin is deformed from the crash. He's able to squeeze through the half-open doorway but can't drag Cold Face through it.

"T-k.......F-k......F-k!" he's panicking like a cat on a hot tin roof. Tears are almost flowing from his eyes, "Cold Face! Wake up, will you!? F-k! We have to hurry and escape! I can't just leave you behind! Hurry and wake up!"

But at his current state, he can't assess how badly injured Cold Face is right now. He can only see his abnormally pale face, his hands are extremely cold, and he's inhaling more than exhaling.

"Ahh" Chatterbox mourns almost going crazy as he pulls Cold Face with all his might.

"Chatterbox! Cold Face!" a familiar voice shouts suddenly. Chatterbox turns around and sees who it is. The feeling of joy drowns him and he doesn't know whether to cry or smile —Bambam has led a couple of investigators with him and rushed out of a small door from the tunnel and are running toward him!

"Hurry!" Chatterbox shouts back, "Cold Face is stuck!"

The group rushes over. Two officers break the doorway and pull Cold Face out successfully. Chatterbox watches their solemn and young faces and feels that even if he dies today, he will have no regrets! It's because this place can explode at any time, yet Bambam and the others are risking their lives and not giving up on the slightest bit of hope to save them.

Chatterbox is completely out of energy and seriously injured. Seeing that Cold Face is saved, blackness covers his eyes as he faints and falls to the ground. It gives Bambam and the others a fright. They carry the two of them quickly and run back into the small entrance from the tunnel.

They close the door and run for their lives. After just a few steps, they hear the deafening sound of an explosion hurting their ears and causing them to stutter. A tall and buff officer is carrying Cold Face and Bambam is carrying Chatterbox as they continue running. Cold Face is still unconscious and can't feel the shaking ground or hear the explosion; Chatterbox is probably in a bit of a daze as he asks Bambam softly, "The building, is it okay?"

Bambam keeps running with his head down and says in a stuffy voice, "Although you guys slowed down the impact by hitting the walls first along the way before crashing into the foundation, the building is collapsing slowly, like just now."

"F-k," Chatterbox curses with not much energy.

"The building was constructed too poorly," Bambam answers, "Thank goodness that the people have evacuated to the bridge and not many are injured."
