1931 Winter: The Time of the Oasis/Prologue 2: Vanishing Bunny

Synopsis
In the outskirts of Newark on December 1931, three women are traveling through the forests of Newark. The driver, Pamela, probes the woman in the passenger seat, Lana, about whether or not she really thinks her plan is going to work. The two of them bicker back and forth about Pamela's doubt and Lana's optimistic recklessness for a short while until the girl in the back, Sonia Bake, pipes in to tell both of them to quit fighting. Pamela concedes to going along with Lana's plan, but expresses that she doesn't want a repeat of "that time at the museum last year".

The three of them are revealed to being a gang of robbers known as the Vanishing Bunny. Though notorious in their own right, most of their big jobs had ended in shootouts with either the police or the mafia; their last job, a museum heist, had gone awry when a couple dressed as mummies had stolen the museum door and pushed the blame onto the trio, causing the cops to pursue them for two weeks. Bringing up the museum causes Pamela and Lana to start bickering again. Sonia tells them to pipe down, then asks if Lana knows the name of the train they plan on targeting for their robbery. Lana does not, but Pamela says that it's called The Flying Pussyfoot after chiding Lana for not knowing despite having come up with the plan to rob it.

Lana explains her plan to stop the train on the bridge by rigging up gunpowder and detonating it. After Pamela coolly shuts down her attempts at explaining, Lana turns to Sonia for help, only to find the girl asleep among the cargo. Flustered, Lana continues to explain why her plan is brilliant for the next thirty minutes.

Sometime after Lana finishes talking, both her and Pamela hear the sound of breathing coming from around the window to the truck bed, but ignore it, assuming it's Sonia's. Pamela reluctantly agrees to head to the place where the train robbery would take place and continue discussing whether or not to rob the train there. On the way to their destination, Pamela and Lana spot multiple fast-traveling cars passing them from behind. Deducing that the cars clearly don't belong to "law-abiding citizens", the two of them agree to floor it so they don't get caught up in whatever the cars are traveling for. Neither of them notice that another person's breathing has joined Sonia's in the back of the truck.
