* RuleOfSymbolism: London is singing "In the Belly of the Whale" on the trip to the Windfish Car, specifically its bridge. The song is about Jonah who ran away from his journey to teach God's word to Nineveh and ended up stuck the belly of a whale, but God decided to give him a second chance. This is symbolic of the Infinity Train in general: running away from your problems will only get you into more trouble but there is ''still'' a chance for you to redeem and have a second chance to be better.
