I am so ecstatic over this chapter, I am just going to post a bunch of things I loved:
Random dude on top of the train! Off the top of my head I just can't think of another author in the fandom that would have this sort of interaction in the story JUST BECAUSE THAT'S HOW A GUY SUDDENLY ON TOP OF A MOVING TRAIN MIGHT ACTUALLY REACT.
Love Helen and Michelle and Daniel - Michelle's 'whatever', Helen being proud of her daughter, Daniel holding on to the gun to defend the train car, Daniel and his physician's integrity, making sure Eames can be left alone with Arthur. I love the development you can see in these characters, especially in the relationship between Michelle and her mother.
Poor Ann. Hell, poor Jack and Mal and Cobb and Arthur and Eames and just everyone. There's just no way anyone could come out of dreamsharing unscathed, not even because of the criminal and business end, just because of what dreamsharing is in-and-of-itself. Yusuf probably had the right idea after all, trying to stay out of the field.
[i]Arthur would shoot him, his mind supplied without his permission. No mercy, that’s Arthur. Hand a man over for torture.[/i] and Arthur speaking in French? I simultaneously love these parts and am saddened, because even though everyone is more or less safe and recovering and 'the bad guys' have been taken care of, the things they went through aren't just going to go away.
Also, still so much love for Eartha and Frank and Anthony and Miranda. The scene where they huddled together on the train track was just tense and funny and, thanks to Arthur, just that right amount of off-kilter.
