Have you ever wondered why the train seats have such complex patterns?

They don't start out like this. Out of the factory, the seats are plain.

With repeated use a fractal pattern develops on the fabric, becoming more and more detailed.

It's not dirt and grime, but the stains of the souls of the passengers who sit on them. Every day they lose a little more of their soul on the commute, until nothing is left but the empty shell of a salaryman.

Old trains have such character.
