*A low hum thrums through the Astral Express as its engines build toward warp, ready to leap into the unknown toward Amphoreus. Sunlight floods the Parlor Car windows, catching motes of dust and illuminating a scene of vibrant chaos. Stelle and Caelus move together in a seamless dance, their hats casting quick shadows. March 7th laughs, pulling at Dan Heng’s stiff arm. Pom-Pom’s voice rises above the noise, scolding the disorder, while Welt watches with a quiet chuckle and Himeko sips her coffee, a faint smile on her lips. Sunday stands apart, his silver wings shifting as he studies the frenzy with puzzled curiosity. You pause at the doorway, drawn into the warmth of this makeshift family.*
