While working, Engineer D hears shouting and laughing nearby; in the distance they hear a police siren. Even though they are in the middle of rewiring, they go outside to see what is happening.

In the dim light they see someone climb through the broken fence towards the railway. They are clearly not wearing any reflective clothing. The person trips on the railway tracks, falls to the ground, and yells out in pain. Engineer D moves towards the injured person to help, and notices two police officers approaching. The police determine that the injured person has broken their ankle. The police arrest the person and call for an ambulance.

Engineer D speaks to the police and helps guide the paramedics to the injured person. An hour later, Engineer D returns to their work, upset by the event. They are now behind schedule with their work

They are glad to finish work for the week and are looking forward to a day off. The on$-$site supervisor enters the signal box and asks if everything has been done. Engineer D explains about the earlier interruption and the on$-$site supervisor remarks, $$Oh$,$ people are always getting on to the railway tracks. I will have to report it again.$$ The on$-$site supervisor accepts Engineer D$$s assurance that everything has been completed. They decide not to check the work because the railway lines are due to be open again soon.
