you decide to hop on the train. It takes you from tristitia to superbia. though there is no time in the haze, it feels as though 35 minutes pass between the stops. what will you do now?

You check out the sign in the area. All it tells you is which line goes to what corresponding line, & nothing more. As for the area, it holds nothing of interest. What will you do? 

You decide to go further into the station. It appears rather basic, with seating, snack machines, various snakes doing odd jobs, ticket booths, & an illuminated sign with the various times for upcoming trains. 

You wander into the station, & head for some trash cans. After diving into it & wading through the pieces of garbage tossed into it, you find nothing of importance.

You follow the set of tracks, & you travel a great deal. They round all the way to SUPERBIA’S SUBWAY STATION, although they mysteriously stop there. No dirt or residue seems to track into the establishment. What will you do?

You decide to follow the duo of footprints. They do indeed lead somewhere: THEY HEAD OUT OF THE FOREST. What will you do?

You go inside the cottage, and to your surprise, YOU FIND A SNAKE. Not just any snake , but the murderer from the previous chapter -- TOUMA KOZAKURA . He’s fast asleep in the hammock and there’s tea on the stove, as well as signs of this place being well-lived. The bed is every bit as neat as the placement of pillows on the couch, and written instructions in Marry’s handwriting are scattered about on places like the fridge or the sink.You assume they’re “how-to” manuals -- but you can ONLY ASSUME, as they’re written in a LANGUAGE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

You enter Marry’s daze, and to your surprise it’s completely serene. Birds are chirping, a garden is out front, and a small cottage sits in the middle of the forest in a perfect sun-touched clearing of bright green grass that flows in the subtle breeze.
