A new subway entrance has opened in Charlotte, North Carolina. There are no records of a new entrance there being built or approved, or even proposed.
But there it stands, a sign reading "SUBWAY" and a flight of stairs downward.

… He thinks he'll go back to his phone unless the orb continues to communicate, then, because it seems like trying to learn what the different pulses mean will take a lot of effort and he's not sure if the orb is even going to stay on the subway for particularly long.
The weird subway into the void that sort-of-probably abducted him from his home planet.
Ugh.
After about 15 minutes of this, by his phone's clock, tiny far-away pinpricks of light begin appearing amid the darkness through the window.
Little dots of white light, very far away. They're scattered fairly evenly, but some seem to be closer than others. The car seems to be moving past them, some passing out of view at the edge of the window and some new ones coming into view every few seconds.
Presumably there is still no more water around him.
Are the dots in the weird void? Or has the weird void become less void-like?
The weird void is still void-like. Possibly moreso now that it is clearly not just a dark tunnel, but now it contains lights.
The orb is still floating and glowing calmly, although at some point it must have turned magenta again.
… If it takes a really long time, he'll go sit back down and play a game, intermittently looking up again.
Lights continue to drift slowly by. One seems to pass much closer to the car, a bright white covering a lot of the window, there only for a few seconds. After that, the window returns to showing only the slow passage of distant dots of light.
Okay, well, he's not going to look out of the car quite as much now because he'd rather not get blinded if there's an even brighter one.
This is so weird.
More lights pass by, a few close enough to be visible as very large dots, but not filling the window.
Can he get any more information from the dots, while carefully not looking straight at them? Are they solid white up close or do they have more detail than that?
He continues checking for water.
The dots are solidly white, possibly brighter at the centers than the edges.
There is no water outside of his body.
… He considers, for a bit, but decides he's been without a weapon for too long.
A small cut opens up on his finger, and a quantity of blood leaves his body quite readily through it.
It's slightly disgusting, but it's better than being unprepared. He's not sure what's set to happen to him, through the rest of this trip, and doesn't like the idea of staying unprotected.
The car continues to pass by the dots.
After about an hour and a half of this, no new dots come into view and they pass the remaining dots, leaving the windows dark again.
He is getting extremely bored by this point, and has been manipulating the blood in the air to try to take his mind off it.
It's quite soothing, and it takes a moment for him to notice the lack of dots. He looks around in case there's anything else outside instead.
