角色故事•二(解锁条件:角色等级40)
姬子有一个手提箱。
手提箱是她的宝库。以前,其中装满了维修列车的各种工具,她靠着它们将列车修葺一新;现在,其中多了一把单分子锯、一颗逃逸的卫星,还有数不胜数的其他机巧——它们是她奇想的具现,是她步履不歇的证明。
没有哪位旅伴比她的旅行箱更忠实。列车上的旅客来来去去,就连那位「列车长」或许也不能从始至终陪伴她与列车。
但她不在意。就像她不在意那个装腔作势的金发男人不告而别,就像她不在意那过于遥远的故乡和故人。
她明白这趟旅程是孤独的。就算她能在旅行中结识志同道合的旅伴,就算她受尽旅伴慷慨恩惠,就算她能与旅伴一同见证某段旅途的终点——那也不过是她足够侥幸罢了。
她明白这趟旅程是孤独的。任何人都无法踏足与他人完全相同的行迹。任何人都无法代他人体验沿途所见的风景。她能够依靠的只有自己的双眼与双脚。
Character Story: Part II
• Unlocked at Character Level 40
Himeko has a suitcase.
This suitcase is her treasure trove. Previously, she'd filled it with all kinds of train repair tools to fix up the Express. But now, it's packed with a molecular saw, an escaped satellite, and countless other contraptions — the embodiment of her whims and the proof of her resolute will.
No travel companion is more faithful to her than this suitcase. Passengers come and go on the Express, and perhaps not even "the conductor" would be able to accompany her and the Express from start to finish.
But she doesn't care. She didn't care when that pretentious blond man left without saying goodbye, just like how she didn't care about her distant homeworld and old friends.
She knows that this journey is lonely. Even if she could get to know like-minded travel companions, even if they showed her generous grace, even if she could witness the end of a complete journey with those companions — that's all just a momentary fluke.
She knows that this journey is lonely. Nobody can follow in the exact same footsteps as anyone else. Nobody can experience for someone else everything that happens along a journey. All she can rely on are her own two eyes and feet.
That's why she stores inside her suitcase all the sights her eyes have witnessed, and all the footprints her feet have left behind.
