Railroad accidents happen because of the fey. Think about it, they have to cross them at our built crossing to stay safe. Why? Because the fey are weak to iron. And what do they do while they are crossing? They mess with human minds to cause accidents, to try to destroy our barrier and to punish us for daring to restrict them. They yearn for the destruction of rail to tear down the border wall between us and them. They possess politician minds or buy them out in order to make us make cars instead walkable cities are the enemy of the fey.
This is the TRUTH.
They want you to make trainjacks, to become carbrains, to mald and cope at the mention of climate change.
THIS IS THE TRUTH I CALL FEYS, TRAINS, AND AUTOMOBILES
Do not do so without at least the smallest hint of iron on your person. If you disappear into the forest make sure you have a reason lest the fey give you one.

Y’all I love the idea of allowing someone to live in spite of their atrocities so that they must spend the rest of their days repenting for something that is conceptually unforgivable.
