* BothSidesHaveAPoint: After a rough day, Alice, William, and Winston speak their opinions on Nationalisation. Alice and Winston take it in stride, believing that things will get better; William, on the other hand, doesn't support it. He claims that things were fine with the previous system they had. Alice points out the Big Four did foster rivalries with each other, and now they're under one company, they have a dedication to provide an effective service to their clients and passengers. William states that's no different from how things were before, to which Winston agrees. Regardless of how they feel about it, the merger is here to stay, and there's no going back from it.
