But the station was too dangerous for me to wait __7__ in such a deep night.
One of the controllers got off with me as he __8__ nearby. Then he told me he would not feel okay __9__ he left me there and went home himself. He __10__ to get into his car because it was __11__ outside in such a winter night. I was a bit hesitant, but I still put my __12__ in him. He looked like a really good person, gentle, pure and warm. We started __13__ in the car. He asked, “Have you ever been here？” I replied, “While I always __14__ the station, I have never stepped into the city.” Then the man invited me to __15__ the city of Reggia.
Hearing his invitation, I was completely __16__ at the kindness from a complete stranger. He expected nothing in __17__， but just seriously wanted me to see around Reggia. We had a short __18__ around nearby areas. Then around 4 he dropped me off at the station.
Until today, I've always remembered that guy with deep __19__ and respect. Actually, I later went to the station to thank him, but he was not there. I do hope he is doing fine and __20__ life.
