Reeve is likewise exhausted. Having been thrown right into the thick of things, he immediately realized that his technical skills could be - quite literally - a matter of life and death, and thus it was that he's devoted most of his time to making sure that the train's settings were properly overridden to ensure that it would be able to make it to its destination safely. To say that it's been nerve-wracking would be the understatement of the year. At last some of the other imPorts noticed how worn down he was getting and sent him off to one of the other cars with a promise that they'll come find him if he's needed again.
So out of it is he that he nearly bumps right into Wen Ning as he tries to find a space in which to stand without getting in anyone's way. An apology tumbles from his lips before he even registers Wen Ning's presence, more automatic than anything else: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
But he trails off, the gears in his brain winding down to a halt before he can finish the sentence. Aren't they both quite the pair right now...
