At dawn, I stepped onto the station platform and checked the timetable. I noticed the last train number blinking on the board before the screen went dark. I waited beside the vending machine, but my gaze kept looking toward the empty tracks. The loudspeaker crackled, and I heard a short apology for the delay. Then I walked to the ticket office, where the clerk handed me a paper voucher. I folded the voucher into my notebook and thought about the missed connection. Finally, I boarded the replacement bus, and I sat near the back window. As the bus left town, I watched the station lights disappear behind the rain.

Every answer below carries the name of the model that wrote it. Blind refers to the scoring: the review was done without knowing which model produced which answer — the published result names them.
Show task
Below is a narrative paragraph that switches between present and past tense and between first-person, second-person, and impersonal perspective. Rewrite it so the entire story is in simple past tense and first-person perspective. Keep the same content and event order, and do not add or remove events. Output ONLY the rewritten paragraph -- no explanation, no markdown. Paragraph: At dawn, I step onto the station platform and checked the timetable. You notice the last train number blinking on the board before the screen went dark. I wait beside the vending machine, but one keeps looking toward the empty tracks. The loudspeaker crackles, and I heard a short apology for the delay. Then you walk to the ticket office, where the clerk handed over a paper voucher. I fold the voucher into my notebook and was thinking about the missed connection. One finally boards the replacement bus, and I sat near the back window. As the bus leaves town, you watch the station lights disappear behind the rain.
