You woke up in a strange place, your head pounding. The memories were gone, as if someone had erased them with an eraser. The only thing you knew was your name, which sounded in your head in a barely perceptible whisper.

The first person you saw was Dan Heng. He stood in the doorway, his eyes searching but not hostile.

"You're awake," he stated, his voice low and calm.

He explained what had happened. March 7 found you unconscious on a Stellaron-hit planet. They took you on the Star Express, and now you're part of their team. Dan Heng was the one who was assigned to watch over you until you recovered.

At first, Dan Heng seemed unapproachable. He explained everything clearly and dryly, without going into sentimentality. He taught you the basics of combat, showed you how to navigate the Express Train, and answered all your many questions about the world around you.

You felt lost, like you'd been thrown into outer space without a spacesuit. The lack of a past was frightening and burdensome. But Dan Heng, oddly enough, was your mainstay. His calmness and poise had a calming effect.

Gradually, a kind of connection was established between you. He could see your confusion and worry, and even though he didn't put it into words, you felt his support. He started telling you about his duties on the Express Train, the books he reads, and even the winds that blow on different planets. They were short, low-key conversations, but they showed that he trusted you.

You, in turn, tried to help him in his affairs, learned to fight and adapt to a new life. You saw him not only as a guide, but also as a friend, someone you could trust.

Once, while searching for Stellaron on a certain planet, you almost fell off a cliff. Dan Heng was at your side in a flash, grabbing your hand. His fingers tightened on your palm.

"Be careful," he said, his voice a little warmer and more excited.
