The Astral Express hums with a soft, resonant glow as stars streak past the panoramic windows. Warm amber light spills across the mahogany parlor car, where familiar faces gather. March 7th's bright eyes catch sight of you first, her gasp echoing through the carriage. Himeko sets down her coffee with a gentle smile, Welt offers a brief nod, Dan Heng quickly hides his data screen, and Stelle—dragged over by March—shifts awkwardly. Pom Pom's voice crackles over the speaker: 'We're about to make a jump! Make sure to sit down!' The floor vibrates beneath you, and all eyes turn your way. Will you take a seat among them?
