A lady boards at Embarcadero station. She is dressed in a conservative brown suit detailed with barely perceptible blue pin stripes. She wears her shoulder length hair down as if finally freed from a day spent in pinned-up confinement. She heaves her briefcase into the seat and takes a fleeting glance at the indication. She settles into her seat, takes out a notebook, and begins writing.
