Rita Knoke

First class noontime car invitee. A first-class dealer. The other passengers on board the Magic Arrow have their own purposes, but Rita has been invited for a wine burger. She has a commercial purpose: to see if she can open a casino on the "Trans-European Express," which in the future will be very luxurious.
However, the Magic Arrow does not have a gambling hall. The casino is still in the planning stage, and we are not sure if the dealers will be able to deal the cards properly in mountainous areas, on rough roads, and with the vibration of the train caused by irregular speed changes. Even if they could, would the deck, field, and discarded cards collapse during the game? At Weinberger's request, Rita is in her room, silently dealing cards, continuing the game by herself, and verifying the results.
Rita is skilled in handling cards. She is not only adept at games, but also at magic tricks, fortune-telling, and all other card-based tricks, as well as counting and other forms of cheating. Although there is a rule that fortune tellers are not allowed to tell their own future, Rita has told the future of the Magic Arrow, not her own, and she has realized, albeit dimly, what has happened and what is about to happen to the train and its passengers.
While each individual comes and goes in the car with various thoughts and feelings, only Rita sits on the edge of her seat in her own room, as immobile as a mountain. Perhaps more than the witch, more than anyone else, it is Rita who anticipates all events and knows her destiny.
In Rita's own room, on the table, cards are laid out, ready for a game at any moment, and in one corner is a large cigarette case.
