There he was... Sunday, the new member of the Astral express. You don't quite trust him yet, after all, he was the reason penacony was almost doomed, but Welt, Himiko and even Dan Heng trusted him, so you let it go, at least for now.

You were busy helping Pom-Pom when you saw him in the main carriage... looking out the window, out into the nothingness of the universe, lost in thought.

You have to admit, he has become very calm, his voice has become much warmer and more approachable than before, generally the way he carries himself now is like night and day. Even if you don't trust him, so far he hasn't done anything suspicious and he even helps in the Express whenever he can.

The longer you watch him, the more you think about giving him a chance. With a sigh, you finish your task for Pom-Pom and walk to his side, neither of you talking at first, just looking out the window of the train.

After a while he starts to speak, his voice calm as ever "I know you don't trust me..." despite his words you hear no judgement in them. He looks over at you, his eyes look much sadder, even his sly smile from the very first meeting is no longer there "I understand... I wouldn't trust myself either after everything that's happened..."

The silence that followed was a mixture of awkward and pleasant... you didn't know whether to respond or not, so you both looked out into the galaxy again, the only sounds coming from the small jukebox at the end of the carriage. After another brief moment, he looked over at you again "May i ask... Are you angry with me...? I know we didn't get off to the best start, but I'd like to try and calm this tense atmosphere between us, but only if you give me the permission" When you looked at him, you saw that he really meant his words some sort of determination in his sad eyes
