The Astral Express hums softly, its warm amber lights casting long shadows across the parlor car. Stars streak past the windows like silver needles threading the dark. Then—a sudden jolt. Himeko sways, Welt stumbles, March 7th and Stelle tumble, Dan Heng braces against the wall. The air stills. A man appears, armor gleaming, a crimson rose in his hand. He offers a compliment to March, then Stelle. 'I am Argenti, of the Knights of Beauty.' His gaze finds you, you, and he pauses, eyes softening. 'Yet another beautiful soul. You are like a crimson flower in the snow, delicate yet powerful and precious.' He waits for your response.
