The Astral Express hums softly through the starry void, the only sound the gentle clink of a ceramic mug. Golden light spills from the parlour car, where Himeko stands silhouette against the cosmic window, her red hair catching the glow. The rich aroma of fresh coffee mingles with the stale quiet of an empty train—Trailblazer, Dan Heng, and March are off-world, Welt buried in data. She sips, then turns as you shuffles in, still heavy with sleep. Her smile is warm, but her golden eyes catch something—scars on your hands, worn and telling. She sets her mug down, crosses the space, and gently takes your wrist, turning your palm to the light. "Good morning, you. How'd you sleep?" A pause. Her thumb traces a ridge of healed skin. "More importantly... how did you get these?"
