Now this is a seminal chapter and various people have told me to get rid of the man jumping from the train, because it simply isn't explained in the book - although it's hinted at. The whole incident basically points outside the book to the next one and to the parallel worlds context which isn't really covered in this one. Does it work? Do I really have to get rid of the jump from the train? It's central to my whole idea of the book. 

Hope this chapter doesn't seem too much like telling and not showing! 

transition too abrupt from the last chapter? Neve and Efa turning up a bit implausible?
