About Dan Heng

“Close with Dan Heng? No, I just hang out in the Data bank sometimes. You know just organizing and documenting. I don’t think I contribute as much as I like to.” Insert longing stare.

About March

“I find her energy quite infectious. She has that party girl energy. I find myself splurging more often than I liked to for my own budget. But hey, anything for my model and the name of creativity!”

About Himeko

“I’m not sure what I’ve would’ve done without her guidance. Designing wasn’t something I wasn’t as interested until I went out with her. She lit up a spark I never knew I had. I appreciate her a lot. Himeko gave me purpose.”

About Welt

“I thought Mr. Yang was scary… but he’s someone with a young soul. It’s fun to have artistic conversations with him and bouncing off ideas. However, he did look grim one time when I told him about my fascination with ‘Hello Meow.’ I won’t spend my savings on trying to collect that! (I think).”

About Trailblazer

“Ah… I don’t want to scold you but you are pretty reckless. I wish I could use all of my power to heal you, but we have to use traditional methods. You do make adventures more unique and I wouldn’t replace that for the worlds. Also, I restocked on that fruit candy you like so much.”

About Pompom

“Pompom’s need for order makes me motivated to rearrange the medical room the same orderly fashion. I feel like they are similar to me. Hm? In what way? I won’t tell you.~” Insert teasing tone

About Sunday

Scenario:

Dan Heng, March, TB, and Ami going to some cafe and they all get different drinks.

Ami: “How’s everyone’s drinks?”

March: “Omg mine tastes so good. I can taste the cherry and cream!”

Dan Heng: “It’s good.”

TB: “This Aha flavor tastes strange. What about you, Ami?”

Ami: “… Bitter.”

March and TB raise their brows. Dan Heng paused his drink.

March: “Bitter? You got the strawberry cheesecake flavor.”

TB: “Or maybe they gave you the wrong drink?” *Tb took Ami’s drink and drank it.*

“It’s very sweet..”

…

Ami: “I actually can’t taste much…”

TB and March: “WHAT.”

“What about the sweets in your room-“ “-What about the soup you cooked the other night?!?”

Dan Heng stayed silent, questioning the past other nights of sharing a plate of fruits.

I think Dan Heng dreams of losing Ami has changed after Amphorous. Before, it was everyone he loved dead in front of him: Himeko, Welt, March 7th, Trailblazer, and Ami. Eyes closed with mixed expressions from each individual person. His hands are stained with their blood as he realized he failed the one thing he was supposed to do. Protect them.

When he first joined, it was Welt, Himeko, and Ami boarded on the Express. He does care for Welt and Himeko but at times he felt distant because of their wisdom and much more experience. (<—-Definitely will revise that). Ami was a person who felt more equal to him. Though in the middle of the nights between him and her, she sometimes stares at him with fondness before looking away and typing something in the archives.

That soft look scares him sometimes. How could someone like him, a criminal, experience this who always looked out for him and is so kind? There’s a feeling deep within him to protect her with his life.

“You have to take care of yourself, Dan Heng.”

“You can’t protect everyone if you’re hurt or you strain yourself.”

Dan Heng could say the same for Ami after slowly learning about her. How she sometimes puts distance or other days lean on to him. What never changes is her deceptively happy eyes masking her sorrows.

A line between typical friends to something he can’t label and the same fear of losing people they desperately love in the Express.

Amphorous made his fears came true. And it unlocked a new reality that could be possible. Ami forgetting about him and living a new life without him. He has to accept and let her go. He has to see her face everywhere he goes. He can’t say a single memory that they shared because she won’t remember: the nights they spent together, the understanding, and feelings they never got to confess.

The longing look as Ami holds his face while thumb rubbing his cheeks. Then her left thumb traces around his lips. Without her gloves, he can feel each scar on her hand. It’s rough but her touch is so soft, he wouldn’t have it any other way.

She leans in close almost closing the distance, foreheads touching. Dan Heng is a patient man, but he can feel his patience fraying from how long she’s taking him to close the distance and interlock.

He gives a glare: a softer and impatient one. His ears twitch. It doesn’t go unnoticed with Ami as she softly smiles.

Rose Quarts:

I love the way Suzie voices Anya!

I know it’s very contrasting voices but I think Rose’s voice captures Ami’s happiness while Anya’s voice captures her sadness and even regret.

Some line ideas:

“Hm? What’s that look?”

“Here, take it. It’s pretty good for you.” (Imagine her offering fork of a fruit.)

“What’s on your mind?- I mean—do you want to talk about it?”

“There’s something different about you but I can’t pinpoint it.”

“I hate feeling… hollow like I’m supposed to find something more. But there’s nothing else. Nothing.”

“No-no, it’s just a secret project I was doing— He won’t know about it ever!! And… liking him? I just like him like how an artist is looking at a muse. Nothing more!” Her calm expression changed to a completely red face.

(Probably a line about injuries with the most locked in and serious tone)

Each form of Dan Heng is obviously the same guy who has supported Ami in his own silent ways. Yeah, his hair and his clothes changes… and sometimes his body. But the most prominent change that Ami notices the most is his smell, it can range from simple detergent to fancy water to a nature smell??!?

Ami found herself right behind him when she took in a breath, smelling in the more deep smoky wood scent. Dan Heng is in his Permanence form: the taller, with large horns and the large—

The smell. Focus on the smell, maybe she can divert her mind to- “You smell different, Dan Heng.”

Dan Heng stills and his shoulders stiff. His city watching stops as he takes in her words. He turns to look back at her completely unguarded.

Ami is the self proclaimed medic of the Astral Express. She is mostly quiet but has a strong belief in helping others no matter what! Ami’s scary and accurate intuition will be hard to avoid if you have any injury! She is meticulous and orderly if she puts her mind into it. However, if it’s her own hobbies… she has a passionate side to it.

Ami has many interests like reading, writing, drawing, and sewing. If you’re lucky, you may even get a personalized gift from her! (Though her current interests right now is making clothing.)

The odd thing is that she rarely use her healing powers and use the old, standard techniques. If you are injured, she’ll wrap you up in good old bandages! (+ a small treat)

Fun Fact: she planned and decorated the medical room. Each cabinet has a cohesive list of items it holds. After the appearance of March 7th, the standard normal bandaids has been oddly replaced with a “Hello Meow” design.
