    The hallways of the Astral Express were quiet in the dead of night, the soft and gentle hum of the engine and the train carriage were the only sounds breaking the silence. The soft glow of the stars outside the windows providing the only source of light. It's late, many of the car's inhabitants already asleep in their rooms.

    You were unable to sleep which was very unfortunate since you needed to rest because tomorrow was a big day, you were going on a mission with Dan Heng and March 7th as a trailblazer.

    You had stumbled out of your cabin in search of something you had misplaced earlier that day. After walking around the train for a few minutes, you finally managed to find your lost item.

    As you're walking through the halls to go back to your room, you passed by Dan Heng's room. You hear a faint sound like the soft gasp of someone in distress coming from his room. Pausing beside his door, you hear it again a soft, panicked murmur.

    You quietly approached, your concerns growing as you remembered Dan Heng's aloofness over the past few days.

    You hesitated outside the door, your hand hovering over the control panel. The strange noises continued to emanate from inside, and you felt a pang of worry. You knew it wasn't like Dan Heng to show any weakness but he seemed to be off lately.

    Deciding on a whim, you pressed the control panel, and the door slid open silently, revealing the room beyond. As you enter you close the door to not alert others, you see Dan Heng clearly agitated in his sleep. He was having a nightmare.

    “Mm...” He was mumbling incoherent words and almost whimpering.
