Japan time, August 15th, 2:30 AM, Osaka, Platform 7 of an abandoned train station.
The Train Demon quieted down on the tracks, the rumbling engine stilled, leaving the platform in dead silence, and raindrops from the eaves pattered on the scarlet roof of the carriage.
Just then, the demon-like face at the front of the train suddenly scrunched its eyebrows and nose together and let out a heavy sneeze, spreading wetness across the tracks.
Su Zimai, Gu Qiye, and Gu Zhuo Case stopped at the entrance of the carriage.
Gu Zhuo Case had been distracted earlier, not paying attention to what the other two were saying. Now, he looked up at Gu Qiye, then at Su Zimai, and asked them:
"What's going on?"
The siblings' expressions were strange; Su Zimai glared into Gu Qiye's eyes. They both remained silent, with no inclination to answer Gu Zhuo Case's question.
"Where's the brother?"
Su Zimai lowered her voice and asked again.
