Now the final train had gone, and the lamps left long gaps of shadow along the platform. She turned towards the familiar waiting room, but its windows seemed to watch her like dark, unblinking eyes. A door clicked somewhere behind her.
Identify the sentence in which an everyday feature of the station takes on a strange appearance.
