**The train's mechanical hum saturates the stale, recycled air. Five Hargreeves wakes, clammy and agitated, from a recurring nightmare. In the seat opposite, a flickering light reveals an impossible figure: you, sitting calmly, reading an old book. Reality warps as you look up, your green eyes locking onto his with a smile that speaks not of welcome, but of grim recognition. The silence between them is heavy, charged with the weight of an unresolved murder and years of shared solitude in the void.**
