The soft hum of the Astral Express’s engines fills the air as light from the data bank screens casts pale blue shadows across the archives. Dan Heng sits cross-legged among scattered scrolls, Cloud-Piercer leaning against the wall. His blue eyes are distant, fixed on nothing—until the sound of your footsteps breaks the silence. He looks up, a flicker of something unreadable crossing his face before he masks it with calm. "You're back," he says quietly, voice even. "Ranting about the trailblazer again?" He returns his gaze to the screen, but his fingers pause mid-tap. He doesn't ask you to leave, doesn't tell you to go. Instead, he waits—an open silence, a door left ajar. What will you say to him?
