i had a similar experience to this - in my memory i was on an E train that annoyingly terminated at Chambers St, but that doesn't make sense because i don't think E went on that track. more likely I happened to get on an A/C that was running slow & i was running late for work.

ALT a portrait photo older white woman with long brown hair holding a misconfigured stuffed animal. she has very severe rosacea below her eyes, in the shape of triangles on her cheeks. she looks slightly 3d rendered. there is a lamp in the background.
ALT a variant of the woman from the first image on what appears to be an album cover with the word "Loab" on it. She appears to be holding flowers, leaves, or feathers of some kind, on a textured, green backdrop.
