[TG Caption] The Night Train Needs Victoria (Patreon)

The sleeper cabin refuses my ticket because the booking assistant registered Victoria, not Victor. When I scan it again, the compartment decides the passenger must be corrected rather than the reservation. My coat softens into burgundy velvet. Dark hair falls past my shoulders, and the mirror beside the berth lights green only after my face and body match Victoria's profile. I spend the first hour sitting rigidly, afraid that one relaxed movement will make this feel permanent. At the next station, a porter offers madam champagne without noticing anything strange.
