Steel steam and flame

The scene in front of me has happened countless times. Some passengers get off and some get on. Only the train remains unchanged. Some people were awakened by the movement, blinked their eyes, glanced at the platform with swaying figures outside the window, and then closed their eyes again, as if they wanted to resume their previous dreams, and once again fell into an endless trance. Inside the lethargy.

She was envious of the people around her. Looking at their faces as they fell asleep, Cassia also wanted to imitate them and close her eyes, hoping to fall asleep.

But he couldn't do it. It was obviously a very simple thing, but it was full of difficulties for him. I didn't understand why my spirit was so good. I was full of energy and didn't feel any fatigue after a long journey.

Sighing, Cassia leaned on the soft seat and looked away from the window. There is no need to repeat scenes that you are used to seeing at every station.

"Where am I going?" Cassia sighed, he felt very confused now. I had no memory of where I got on this train and where it was going.

He remembered that he seemed to have been sleeping all the time. When he was awakened by the sound of the train arriving at the station, and the bright light shone into his eyes, he was already on the train. I have no memory of what happened before.

Maybe the ticket will have the information you want. But without any luggage, Cassia searched all over her body and couldn't find her ticket. I mustered up the courage to ask the flight attendant several times, but the answer I got was the terminal station of this train.

"Terminal? Where is that place?" Cassia asked. The flight attendant was very polite and nodded and said the name of the place. But at that time, the loudspeaker on the train would always sound, either as a routine announcement or Play some music. I still can't hear the specific pronunciation of that place name clearly. Try to ask the flight attendant to write the name of the terminal station on paper. Cassia did not recognize the words, which were strange but seemed to have an ancient charm.

"Is this still an empire? The Saint Dorag Empire?"

"Of course, it's within the empire." The flight attendant looked at Cassia curiously, "This is your first time taking a long-distance train. Don't worry, there will be corresponding reminders when you arrive at the terminal. Passengers just need to pay attention to the speaker. Just broadcast the news. I think you must be tired, passenger. There is still a long journey to the terminal, so it is best to rest more. If you need food, you can buy it in the middle of the train."

Meaningless answer. Recalling what happened more than ten days ago, Cassia still feels that her head is in chaos.

I have forgotten many things and have no clue no matter how much I think about them. Looking at the top of the train, Cassia was in a daze, not knowing how to spend her time. He felt that he must be carrying luggage, and there must be many books in the luggage. His intuition told him that he was a person who liked reading very much.

But it seemed that the only thing that got on the train was his body and a pair of clothes.

After a short pause, the loudspeaker again announced that the train was about to start. When the train starts to move slowly, the platform flows behind the window, then a city silhouette lights up with little lights, and finally the dim wilderness becomes like a forbidden painting outside, which will follow the train until the next stop.

Cassia got up and went to the middle of the train, where he asked for a piece of food. Like his innate instinct, he chose a remote and quiet seat and sat down.

He found that he could only concentrate well when eating. At other times, many vague things would appear in his head, confusing his thinking.

"Hello, brother, can I sit here?"

Just after taking a sip of juice, the gentle playing sound of the band made Cassia raise her head.

She is a small girl, with a smile on her cute face, and her hair is spread, silky pale gold. She was wearing an early summer long dress, and her shoes were a bit incongruous and looked like the style worn by men.

Cassia nodded, said "yes", and moved her dinner plate closer to her, even though the table area was not needed.

I continued to eat my own food, but in fact I didn't feel hungry at all, just like I didn't feel tired mentally. The food has lost its taste in the mouth. Cassia comes here every day and simply thinks that the time has come and she should eat something.

"Brother, is this the only black in your world?"

Cassia raised her head and instinctively looked around. The location she chose was indeed very remote and quiet. No one was sitting around them.

It seemed like he was asking himself. I don't know if the food didn't suit my taste, but the girl in front of me took the plate and put it down, and didn't move it again. The girl supported her head with her hands and tilted it slightly, with half of her long hair hanging down naturally. Her bright eyes were surprisingly looking at the almost unchanged scenery outside the window.

A dull color, everything turned into monotonous black silhouettes. But because of the light, the shadows of the two people who were very close to each other on the glass window appeared much clearer and brighter at this moment.

The girl was waiting for her answer, Cassia was sure. I didn't understand the meaning of the girl's words. The girl in front of me felt familiar, but Cassia couldn't remember where she had seen her before.

"Is it because of the night?" It was clearly certain, but Cassia didn't know why when the words came to her lips, they naturally turned into uncertain questions.

The girl did not continue talking on this issue and kept looking outside, but Cassia vaguely felt that the girl's gaze was not really outside the window. He was looking carefully at the shadows of the two people on the glass window, which might be much larger.

"Brother, why don't you get off the train? You've been on it for a long time."

Still not sure why, Cassia looked at the girl's side face. The light shifted at this moment. When she wanted to see the girl's face clearly, she found it so difficult.

"I should have gotten off at the terminal." The words still turned into uncertainty. Cassia didn't understand why she was talking to a girl she didn't know. Probably out of politeness, he found a reason for himself, "The flight attendant told me that I have to wait a little longer."

"The terminal, what a long journey. Although I really want to go there, sitting here like this, it won't end until the terminal." The smile on the girl's face became gentler, as if she remembered what made her Happy thing, "But brother, do you really want to go there?"

Cassia was silent for a moment. He shook his head and looked at the window glass like the girl. His own shadow could be clearly distinguished, but the face of the girl next to him looked extremely blurry. It's like countless double images are superimposed. It can't be seen clearly or concretely. Everything has become a rough outline.

Blinking his eyes hard, Cassia then rubbed them again. He thought it was because the eye organ was a little tired after a long period of excitement. He closed his eyes and rubbed them while thinking about how to answer the girl's words.

When she opened her eyes, the girl had already picked up the dinner plate and stood up. Her voice had great ups and downs, carrying two completely opposite emotions: "I look forward to meeting you here next time, brother."

After the girl finished speaking, she took a deep look at Cassia, then turned and left.

Looking at the girl's back gradually disappearing into the carriage, Cassia recalled what she had just said, but still felt that this conversation that started at an unknown time was too strange.

Suddenly not wanting to stay here anymore, Cassia finished a few bites of food and returned to her seat. There was no change in his spirit, he still seemed excited and content. The girl's words kept appearing in my mind during this long night, like some kind of hint.

I always feel that the girl knows me, and I have indeed seen the girl somewhere, but no matter what, I can't recall any memories in my head. My mind was filled with questions that would never have answers and became dull.

As the girl said, this night is very long. When it was bright outside the window the next day, Cassia rarely felt a trace of mental relaxation. At this time, I thought of the girl's words again, and they kept echoing in my brain.

"Are you really going to the terminal?" The suspicion expanded in an instant, and in the end even he didn't believe it. Cassia took out the paper written by the flight attendant. According to the flight attendant, this was the name of the station he was going to. These strange words are more like symbols, and may not have any specific meaning. Cassia tried to convince herself.

"The train is about to arrive at North Law Station..."

At the familiar voice of the announcement, Cassia looked up at the waking passengers around her, and her body started to move.

"Since you don't know where you got on the train, it shouldn't be a problem where you get off." He muttered to himself, and finally stood up and followed the passengers.

At the same time, in the middle car of the train, there were already some passengers who were awakened by the announcement and came to have breakfast.

In a remote location, a girl sat there, with uneaten food placed in front of her and an empty seat in front of her. She rested her head on her head, with a smile on her face, looking at the platform crowded with people outside.
