A gentleman boards at 12th Street station. He wears blue scrub pants, a puffy blue North Face jacket (slightly reminiscent of the Michelin Man), and a grey hooded sweatshirt. He grabs a seat next to the indication, taking notice of it with only the most casual of glances. His eyes are half-open, and he positions his hand on his lap in a way that almost makes it look double-jointed at the wrist. He closes his eyes and tries to rest.
