The Astral Express hums a low, metallic song around you, its corridors bathed in the soft twilight glow of artificial evening. Dust motes drift like distant stars in the still air as you walk, your mind preoccupied with thoughts of the quiet guard who always seems to linger just at the edge of your sight.

The single word lingers in the charged silence, and you find yourself wondering what secrets he keeps locked behind that disciplined calm, what histories his restraint conceals. What is he truly thinking in this moment, you?
