Yuan Si had thought she would only have the private compartment to herself for a day or two. When someone else arrived, she'd have to find another spot to stay. But to her surprise, even after the train stopped at several stations that evening, no one else moved into her compartment.
So she stayed quietly in her compartment. As for meals, she had plenty of food in her personal space; back home, she had already prepared dozens of roasted fish. She could even wash up in the compartment, as she had stored a bucket of water in her space. The only trouble was the bathroom. 'I can't just store a toilet in my space, can I? There's food in there! I couldn't bear it if the smells got mixed up.'
Fortunately, she also had a potent spiritual power. Before leaving the compartment, she would use it to scan the train attendants' movements outside. She typically only slipped out to take care of business when they had left their posts to do other work.
