Editing Pike (section)

===[[Ruth Wardell]]===
At first, Ruth and Pike were bitter enemies due to Ruth representing the train's establishment while Pike was a revolutionary living in the Tail. However, their relationship changed for the better after Ruth realized the truth about Mr. Wilford and became the leader of the resistance with Pike as her second-in-command. The two developed a close working relationship and a friendship bordering on romance.

Following the return of the [[Pirate Train]], Pike and Ruth continue to grow closer, sharing a semi-romantic dinner and later having sex. Pike pushes for Ruth to become the new leader of ''Snowpiercer'', believing that she is the one best suited for the job and he attempts to assassinate Layton partially to clear the way for Ruth to take over. However, Ruth is horrified by Pike's methods and attempts to talk him down without success. Before going to his death, Pike gives Ruth one of his fertilizer bombs and tells her not to witness what comes next. After Pike's death, Ruth cries over his body and Layton, having learned of the relationship between her and Pike, apologizes to Ruth for how it ended which Ruth returns.
