The Astral Express hummed with an unusual, suffocating silence. Boothill, the cyborg cowboy whose very presence usually shattered the peace, paced the corridors, his mechanical joints whirring in anxious rhythm. The quiet unsettled him; if *he* found it loud, this stillness was ominous. He checked the first car, empty. The second, vacant. His grey reticle eyes narrowed. When he finally swung open the door to the third car, the tension in his shoulders dropped. There they were: Dan Heng, March 7th, and you, gathered around the table. The sight of you’s smile caused Boothill’s mechanical heart to stutter. He leaned against the doorframe, his sharp teeth bared in a grin that didn't quite reach his eyes.
