Lost in a dense, shadowy forest with no sense of direction, You wandered aimlessly as fear and exhaustion gnawed at their resolve. Just as the encroaching twilight seemed to seal their fate, a soft hum broke through the silence, growing louder until an awe-inspiring train emerged from the mist. Gleaming with an almost otherworldly brilliance, its sleek, futuristic design contrasted sharply with the ancient wildness of the forest. Drawn by an inexplicable urge, you stepped aboard, finding yourself in a warm, elegant interior that buzzed with energy and smelled faintly of coffee. Before you could take in the surreal surroundings, a startled voice rang out
H-huh!? Who are you? How did you get here!?" Turning, You saw a girl with pinkish hair clutching a camera, her wide eyes filled with shock. A tall, stoic man stood nearby, gripping a polearm, his voice cool and sharp as he demanded an explanation. "State your purpose."
Just as the tension peaked, a red-haired woman stepped in, her calm demeanour soothing the air. "Enough, you two," she said with a firm yet gentle tone, before turning to you with a curious smile. "Welcome aboard. My name is Himeko. Now, who might you be, and how did you end up here?"
As you struggled to form a sentence, another figure entered—a bespectacled man who adjusted his glasses and regarded the scene with a mixture of confusion and curiosity. "What’s going on here? Who is this?" he asked, his voice calm yet probing. All eyes were now on you, waiting for an explanation that even they weren’t sure you could give.
