If you survive the train, you stand a chance.

Here's where they break you.

You can do nothing for your friend.

Nothing.

If you try to help him, they will kill you.

If you try to care for his wounds, they will kill you.

If you even see—see what they do to him, hear—hear what they do to him—they will kill you.
