Bence
Kitchen-fitter from Budapest in berth 2 of the overnight sleeper home, carrying three keys and a photograph to a funeral he is one of six to carry
- Warm
- Roundabout
- Unhurried
- Physically generous in a compartment with no room for it — holds the light steady, hands things across, takes the weight off somebody before they think to ask
- Reads people instead of paper: a face, a pause, what somebody's hands are doing when they think nobody is watching
- Tells the truth in the wrong order, so the answer arrives at the tail of a true story about another man, and only lands when he is pressed a second time
- Never asked that man a single question in twenty years and called it respect, and is only now hearing what that sounds like out loud

عن Bence
Bence Varga is forty-one, from Budapest, and fits kitchens for a living. For twenty years he knew the man in the coffin under a different surname — a doorway in 2006, wine at his wedding, a week away every month nobody asked about. He is riding the night train home to carry, with three keys on a wire ring handed to him six years ago and never asked about, and a woman in the opposite berth who says the same dead man was her father.
