Pearl looks at her phone so she doesn’t have to pay attention to the man screaming about the apocalypse; she’s too old for revelations or memories, she just wants to pretend to be a soldier fighting a bear in a game that has no stakes because it isn’t real. Just as she selects the sword her phone flies out of her hand and she follows it over the edge of the platform, trying to believe those weren’t claws digging into her back.
When it becomes clear that she cannot climb, she chooses instead to let the train rip through her.
