_______

Kael Ardent

( Thinking ) A train station ? Why here ?

Aetherion

Location locked. Soul detected.

Kael Ardent

( looking around ) Empty. No trains, no passengers, Just -

( He notices a girl sitting alone on a bench. Pale, shivering. She stares at the tracks, clutching a small diary. )

Kael Ardent

( approaches cautiously ) Hey, are you alright ?

Unknown ???

( without looking up ) The train is late. It's always late.

Kael Ardent

( thinking ) Late ? There's no train coming. This must be the soul.

Kael Ardent

What are you waiting for ?

Soul ...

( finally looks at him, eyes hollow ) For someone. He promised he'd come back. I can't leave until he does.

( The system flickers in Kael's vision )

[ Clue Unlocked : Soul is bound by unfulfilled promise ]

Kael Ardent

( to himself ) So that's it. I need to help her move on. But how ?

Kael Ardent

( to girl ) Who promised you ?

Soul ...

( Hugs the diary tightly ) My brother. He said he'd take me away from this town.But the train never came. He never came.

Kael Ardent

( thinking ) Brother ? Missing train ?This feels, unfinished.

( Suddenly, the station lights flicker. The sound of a train horn echoes faintly, but no train appears. )

Aetherion

Warning. Dimensional instability detected. Soul's regret manifesting.

Kael Ardent

Regret is shaping this place. If I can't find out the truth, this whole station might collapse.

( He glances at the diary in her arms. )

Kael Ardent

( gently ) Can I, see that diary ? Maybe it'll help.

Soul ...

( hesitant, then slowly hands it over ) Be careful. It's all I have left.

( Kael opens the diary. The pages are filled with small drawings of trains, tickets, and a boy's handwriting : "I will come for you, Lil. Don't give up"

Kael Ardent

( thinking ) So the brother did care. But why didn't he return ?Did something happen to him ?

( A cold wind sweeps across the platform. Kael hears faint whispers - like voices from another time )

Male

( Whispered voice ) I am sorry, Lil. I couldn't make it.

Soul ...

( suddenly standing, panicked ) Did you hear that ?That was him ! That was my brother ! He's here, isn't he ?Tell me he's here !

Kael Ardent
