And with tears in her eyes, Sigyn leaves.
It's here that the recording starts to fully break down. Whole areas of the train are just static for hours, with random bursts of distorted audio.
I find a few seconds of Loki wandering the carriages, passengers staring at her in confusion. There's brief audio of Sigyn, talking with Thor about gaining access to something. A looped clip of a guard dragging Loki to Odin’s cabin. A static image of Thor and Sigyn standing outside the door to the engine room - the one camera that never worked - and Thor is bleeding. And then ten minutes of Odin’s face, smiling directly into camera. I can't tell if the image is frozen or not, but after watching her increasingly erratic behaviour, I can’t shake the feeling that she’s looking at me. Then nothing until the end.
And that's it. I have no more information. Four suspects, each of which could have destroyed the train, by design or by accident. I watch and rewatch the footage I have, desperate for any clues I might have missed. On the monitors, their faces stare out, expressions of determination and resolve, and I have no idea what happens next.
